These results have been approved by the ALICE experiment as preliminary and I have shown them at the "103° congresso della Società Italiana di Fisica" in Trento on September 2017 (https://www.unitn.it/archivio/events/sif2017.html). After this conference I have written a proceeding about my presentation and it will be published on the "Nuovo Cimento". - the study of J/psi polarization in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 5.02 TeV. The results of this analysis have been shown at some internal meetings of the ALICE experiment and we are aiming for a preliminary result in the next few months During this year I have also contributed to the analysis of the Jpsi production in p-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 8.16 TeV, in particular working on the study of the J/psi production cross section in proton-proton collision, which is the reference for the study of proton-nucleon collisions.
