    Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    Full text link
    The prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

    Measurement of the mass difference m(D-s(+))-m(D+) at CDF II

    Full text link
    We present a measurement of the mass difference m(D-s(+))-m(D+), where both the D-s(+) and D+ are reconstructed in the phipi(+) decay channel. This measurement uses 11.6 pb(-1) of data collected by CDF II using the new displaced-track trigger. The mass difference is found to be m(D-s(+))-m(D+)=99.41+/-0.38(stat)+/-0.21(syst) MeV/c(2)

    Prompt charm production in pp collisions at &#8730;<span style="text-decoration:overline">s</span>=7 TeV

    Full text link
    Charm production at the LHC in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector. The decays D0→K−π+, D+→K−π+π+, D⁎+→D0(K−π+)π+, D+s→ϕ(K−K+)π+, Λ+c→pK−π+, and their charge conjugates are analysed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 15 nb−1. Differential cross-sections dσ/dpT are measured for prompt production of the five charmed hadron species in bins of transverse momentum and rapidity in the region 0&#60;pT&#60;8 GeV/c and 2.0&#60;y&#60;4.5. Theoretical predictions are compared to the measured differential cross-sections. The integrated cross-sections of the charm hadrons are computed in the above pT-y range, and their ratios are reported. A combination of the five integrated cross-section measurements gives σ(cc¯)pT&#60;8 GeV/c,2.0&#60;y&#60;4.5=1419±12(stat)±116(syst)±65(frag) μb, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the fragmentation functions

    Study of B c + → J / ψ D s + Bc+J/ψDs+ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+}\to \mathrm{J}/\psi {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{s}}^{+} and B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + Bc+J/ψDs+ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+}\to \mathrm{J}/\psi {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{s}}^{\ast +} decays in pp collisions at s s \sqrt{\mathrm{s}} = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    Abstract A study of B c + → J / ψ D s + Bc+J/ψDs+ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{+} and B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + Bc+J/ψDs+ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +} decays using 139 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the ATLAS detector from s s \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The ratios of the branching fractions of the two decays to the branching fraction of the B c + Bc+ {B}_c^{+} → J/ψπ+ decay are measured: B B c + → J / ψ D s + / B B c + → J / ψπ + B(Bc+J/ψDs+)/B(Bc+J/ψπ+) \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{+}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/{\psi \pi}^{+}\right) = 2.76 ± 0.47 and B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + / B B c + → J / ψπ + B(Bc+J/ψDs+)/B(Bc+J/ψπ+) \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/{\psi \pi}^{+}\right) = 5.33 ± 0.96. The ratio of the branching fractions of the two decays is found to be B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + / B B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + B(Bc+J/ψDs+)/B(Bc+J/ψDs+) \mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +}\right) = 1.93 ± 0.26. For the B c + → J / ψ D s ∗ + Bc+J/ψDs+ {B}_c^{+}\to J/\psi {D}_s^{\ast +} decay, the transverse polarization fraction, Γ±±/Γ, is measured to be 0.70 ± 0.11. The reported uncertainties include both the statistical and systematic components added in quadrature. The precision of the measurements exceeds that in all previous studies of these decays. These results supersede those obtained in the earlier ATLAS study of the same decays with s s \sqrt{s} = 7 and 8 TeV pp collision data. A comparison with available theoretical predictions for the measured quantities is presented

    Measurement of the CP-violating phase \phi s in Bs->J/\psi\pi+\pi- decays

    Full text link
    Measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase phi_s in Bs decays is of prime importance in probing new physics. Here 7421 +/- 105 signal events from the dominantly CP-odd final state J/\psi pi+ pi- are selected in 1/fb of pp collision data collected at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. A time-dependent fit to the data yields a value of phi_s=-0.019^{+0.173+0.004}_{-0.174-0.003} rad, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. No evidence of direct CP violation is found
