Measurement of ψ(2S) meson production in pp collisions at

et al.
Abstract

The differential cross-section for the inclusive production of ψ(2S) mesons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=7\ \mbox{TeV}$$ has been measured with the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. The ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed in the decay channels ψ(2S)→μ+μ− and ψ(2S)→J/ψπ+π−, with the J/ψ meson decaying into two muons. Results are presented both for promptly produced ψ(2S) mesons and for those originating from b-hadron decays. In the kinematic range pT(ψ(2S))≤16 GeV/c and 2
