The measured $p_{T}$ spectra (black marker) together with the fit components (coloured lines) in the mass range $2.92<m_{ee}<3.16 $ GeV/c^{2}$ for the 70-90% centrality class. The total fit is represented by the black line.

2. total momentum of the electron candidates, p> 1 GeV/c
Coherent $J/\psi$ yield measured using an unbinned 2D ($m_{ee},p_{T}$ ) likelihood fit. The model constructed to fit the data is a sum of several probability density functions (pdf). The main contributions to the fit can be grouped as: background (combinatorial+correlated), hadronic and photoproduced $J/\psi$ components. Photoproduced $J/\psi$ components are obtained from STARLIGHT + HIJING simulations.
