➡Theory and motivation➡The LHC and LHCb➡Selected quarkonia results

➡Conclusions and outlook

19.4.2011 G.Manca, Quarkonia Workshop 2

Introduction➡Many quarkonia states

discovered ~30 years ago➡Nevertheless theproduction mechanism is not fully understood➡Expected large cross-sections at

LHC ->among first measurements ➡High rates make quarkonia

central player for detector and software calibration

Fermilab, Summer 1977

Motivations

➡ The production mechanism in pp collisions still unclear

➡ Several models around : Started with Color singlet(CSM)

Undershoots the data, no polarisation prdiction

Extendend to color octet (COM) mechanisms

Better agreement for cross-section, predicts TRANSVERSE polarisation, not

confirmed by experiments NLO CSM describes cross-section and allows LONGITUDINAL polarisation Other models such as color

evaporation model (CEM), kt factorization, soft color interaction model cannot describe the data or make predictions

➡ New data from LHC experiments will help to resolve this issue

In the Υ(1S) case, the D0 results (black) are incompatible with the CDF results (green) The CDF results are compatible with the NRQCD predictions (yellow) The D0 results are marginally incompatible with NRQCD predictions The curves are the limiting case of the kT factorization predictionsFor J/psi and Psi(2s) the NRQCD and the data disagree.

Efficiency

The efficiency εtot has been broken in three pieces :

εtot = Nϒ(accepted, reconstructed and triggered)/Nϒ generated

Nϒaccepted Nϒreconstructed Nϒtriggered = Nϒgenerated Nϒaccepted Nϒreconstructed

-Nϒgenerated = Total number of ϒ’s generated in the pT-y chosen range

-Nϒaccepted = Number of ϒ’s generated inside the LHCb angular acceptance (10-400 mrad), in the pT-y chosen range

-Nϒreconstructed=Number of ϒ’s accepted, detected and reconstructed in range -Nϒtriggered =Number of ϒ’s accepted, detected, reconstructed in range and triggered

d) Trigger EfficiencyTrigger efficiency: efficiency of the triggers used to select the events ➡ L0 ➡ HLT1➡ HLT2

Calculated in J/ events as a function of (pT1+pT2) and <y>, for independent triggers, then weighed with Lum Since some triggers were prescaled for a portion of the data, an average value is used, weighted by the corresponding luminosity. Several cross checks have been performed to make sure this was correctly handled.
