    abstract = "The differential production cross sections of B-+/- mesons are measured
via the exclusive decay channels B-+/- -> J/psi K-+/- -> mu(+)mu
K--(+/-) as a function of transverse momentum in pp and Pb-Pb collisions
at a center-of-mass energy root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with
the CMS detector at the LHC. The pp(Pb - Pb) data set used for this
analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 28.0 pb(-1) (351 mu
b(-1)). The measurement is performed in the B-+/- meson transverse
momentum range of 7 to 50 GeV/c, in the rapidity interval vertical bar y
vertical bar < 2.4. In this kinematic range, a strong suppression of the
production cross section by about a factor of 2 is observed in the Pb-Pb
system in comparison to the expectation from pp reference data. These
results are found to be roughly compatible with theoretical calculations
incorporating beauty quark diffusion and energy loss in a quark-gluon
plasma."
