abstract = {CERN-LHC-ALICE. The production of the $\psi(2S)$ charmonium
state was measured with ALICE in Pb--Pb collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV, in the dimuon decay channel. A
significant signal was observed for the first time at LHC
energies down to zero transverse momentum, at forward
rapidity ($2.5<y<4$). The measurement of the ratio of the
inclusive production cross sections of the $\psi(2S)$ and
J/$\psi$ resonances is reported as a function of the
centrality of the collisions and of transverse momentum, in
the region $p_{\rm T}<12$ GeV/$c$. The results are compared
with the corresponding measurements in pp collisions, by
forming the double ratio
$[\sigma^{\psi(2S)}/\sigma^{J/\psi}]_{\rm{Pb-Pb}}/[\sigma^{\psi(2S)}/\sigma^{J/\psi}]_{\rm{pp}}$.
The $\psi(2S)$ nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$ was
also obtained as a function of both centrality and $p_{\rm
T}$. The results show that the $\psi(2S)$ resonance yield is
strongly suppressed in Pb--Pb collisions, by a factor up to
$\sim 3$ with respect to pp. Furthermore, the $\psi(2S)$
suppression in Pb--Pb collisions is stronger than the one
observed for the J/$\psi$ by a factor $\sim 2$. Comparisons
of cross section ratios with previous SPS findings by the
NA50 experiment, and of $R_{\rm AA}$ with higher-$p_{\rm T}$
results at LHC energy are also reported. These results and
the corresponding comparisons with calculations of transport
and statistical models address questions on the presence and
properties of charmonium states in the quark--gluon plasma
formed in nuclear collisions at the LHC.},
