Measurement of ϒ production in pp collisions at

et al.
Abstract

The production of ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of $$\sqrt{s}=7~\mbox{TeV}$$ is studied with the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a data sample of 25 pb−1 collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The ϒ mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode ϒ→μ+μ− and the signal yields are extracted from a fit to the μ+μ− invariant mass distributions. The differential production cross-sections times dimuon branching fractions are measured as a function of the ϒ transverse momentum pT and rapidity y, over the range pT<15 GeV/c and 2.0
