Measurement of the prompt J/ ψ pair production cross-section in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
The production of two prompt J/ ψ mesons, each with transverse momenta p T > 8.5 GeV and rapidity |y| < 2.1 , is studied using a sample of proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.4 fb - 1 collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC....

| Sumario: | The production of two prompt J/ ψ mesons, each with transverse momenta p T > 8.5 GeV and rapidity |y| < 2.1 , is studied using a sample of proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.4 fb - 1 collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The differential cross-section, assuming unpolarised J/ ψ production, is measured as a function of the transverse momentum of the lower-p T J/ ψ meson, di-J/ ψp T and mass, the difference in rapidity between the two J/ ψ mesons, and the azimuthal angle between the two J/ ψ mesons. The fraction of prompt pair events due to double parton scattering is determined by studying kinematic correlations between the two J/ ψ mesons. The total and double parton scattering cross-sections are compared with predictions. The effective cross-section of double parton scattering is measured to be σ eff = 6.3 ± 1.6 (stat) ± 1.0 (syst) mb. © 2017, CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration. |
