Inclusive quarkonium production in pp collisions at √s = 5.02 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

This article reports on the inclusive production cross section of several quarkonium states, J/ψ, ψ(2S), ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S), measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, in pp collisions at √s = 5.02 TeV. The analysis is performed in the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4). The integrated cross sections and transverse-momentum (pT) and rapidity (y) differential cross sections for J/ψ, ψ(2S), ϒ(1S), and the ψ(2S)-to-J/ψ cross section ratios are presented. The integrated cross sections, assuming unpolarized quarkonia, are: σJ/ψ (pT < 20 GeV/c) = 5.88 ± 0.03 ± 0.34 μb, σψ( ...Daha fazlası
