A measurement of the production cross section ratio Ï(Ïb2(1P))/Ï(Ïb1(1P)) is presented. The Ïb1(1P) and Ïb2(1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at s=8TeV, are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays Ïb1,2(1P)âÏ(1S)+γ. The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to e+e- pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The Ï(1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7fb-1 is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, |ηγ|<1.0; the Ï(1S) rapidity, |yÏ|<1.5; and the Ï(1S) transverse momentum, 7<40GeV. The cross section ratio shows no significant dependence on the Ï(1S) transverse momentum, with a measured average value of 0.85±0.07(stat+syst)±0.08(BF), where the first uncertainty is the combination of the experimental statistical and systematic uncertainties and the second is from the uncertainty in the ratio of the Ïb branching fractions.

Abstract
A measurement of the production cross section ratio Ï(Ïb2(1P))/Ï(Ïb1(1P)) is presented. The Ïb1(1P) and Ïb2(1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at s=8TeV, are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays Ïb1,2(1P)âÏ(1S)+γ. The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to e+e- pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The Ï(1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7fb-1 is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, |ηγ|<1.0; the Ï(1S) rapidity, |yÏ|<1.5; and the Ï(1S) transverse momentum, 7<40GeV. The cross section ratio shows no significant dependence on the Ï(1S) transverse momentum, with a measured average value of 0.85±0.07(stat+syst)±0.08(BF), where the first uncertainty is the combination of the experimental statistical and systematic uncertainties and the second is from the uncertainty in the ratio of the Ïb branching fractions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
