The first measurement of $\\phi(1020)$ meson production in fixed-target $p\\text{Ne}$ collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 68.5~\\text{GeV}$ is presented. The $\\phi(1020)$ mesons are reconstructed in their $K^+K^-$ decay in a data sample consisting of proton collisions on neon nuclei at rest, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $21.7 \\pm 1.4~\\text{nb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb detector at CERN. The $\\phi(1020)$ production cross-section in the centre-of-mass rapidity range of $-1.8 < y^\\ast < 0$ and transverse momentum range of $800 < p_T < 6500~\\text{MeV}\/c$ is found to be \\[\\sigma = 182.7 \\pm 2.7~\\text{(stat.)} \\pm 14.1~\\text{(syst.)}~\\mu\\text{b\/nucleon}.\\] A double-differential measurement of the cross-section is also provided in four regions of rapidity and six regions of transverse momentum of the $\\phi(1020)$ meson and compared with the predictions from Pythia and EPOS4, which are found to underestimate the experimental values.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
