Example of fits to the US dimuon invariant mass distributions in Pb–Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV in different centrality classes and pT intervals. The left (right) panels show the distributions before (after) background subtraction with the event-mixing technique. Dashed gray curves correspond to background functions, red curves to the signal functions and blue curves to the sum of the signal and background functions.
