Measurement of quarkonium production at forward rapidity in pp collisions at s=7TeV

et al.
Abstract

The inclusive production cross sections at forward rapidity of J/ψ$${\mathrm{J}/\psi }$$, ψ(2S)$${\psi (\mathrm{2S})}$$, Υ$$\Upsilon $$(1S) and Υ$$\Upsilon $$(2S) are measured in pp$$\mathrm{pp}$$ collisions at s=7TeV$$\sqrt{s}=7~\mathrm{TeV}$$ with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.35 pb-1$$^{-1}$$. Quarkonia are reconstructed in the dimuon-decay channel and the signal yields are evaluated by fitting the μ+μ-$$\mu ^+\mu ^-$$ invariant mass distributions. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum pT$${p_\mathrm{T}}$$ and rapidity y$$y$$, over the ranges 0
