Description

We present the first observation of the $B^{+}$ meson production suppression in high-multiplicity respect to low multiplicity pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 8.16$ TeV with data collected by the CMS detector during 2016 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 175 nb$^{-1}$. The measurement uses exclusive decay channel $B^{+}\rightarrow J/\psi \ K^{+}$. The inclusive results show a good agreement with theoretical calculations from the FONLL within uncertainties. The cross section ratio measurements scaled by the charged-particle multiplicity density, from low to high multiplicity, shows a significant decrease on the $p_{T}$ dependence with increasing charged-particle multiplicity density. Results may indicate interplays of beauty quark energy loss, diffusion effects models in high multiplicity events, and gluon saturation models in lower multiplicity events.
