Quarkonium production at ATLAS

The production of quarkonium is an important testing ground for QCD calculations. The J/psi and Upsilon production cross-sections are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Differential cross-sections as a function of transverse m...

Sumario:The production of quarkonium is an important testing ground for QCD calculations. The J/psi and Upsilon production cross-sections are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Differential cross-sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity are presented. The fraction of J/psi produced in B-hadron decays is also measured and the differential production cross-sections of prompt and non-prompt J/psi production determined separately. Results are compared to recent predictions from perturbative QCD calculations.
