3. Introduction • Quarkonium Production Mechanisms still “unknown” • LHC is a ”Quarkonium factory” • Key information for the understanding of Hadron Production. p+ p+ c c b b J/ψ Y JPC = 1- - 3.097 GeV 9.460 GeV Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

4. Quarkonium Production Models Quarkonium Production can be factorized in two parts: Production of quark and antiquark pair (perturbative QCD) Formation of the bound Quarkonium state (non-perturbative QCD) Question: Correlation of quantum numbers of initial and final state? • The Nonrelativistic QCD Model (NRQCD) • Treats quarkonium as an approximately nonrelativistic system. (->Y measurement more significant) • Implies that set of quantum number can change by emitting low energy gluons (->COM) • The Color Singlet Model (CSM) • Initial quark-antiquark state and final quarkonium state are the same, necessarily a colour singlet. • NLO, NNLO Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

5. Quarkonium Production Models Experimental Test of Quarkonium Production Models at Tevatron • Diff. cross section of direct J/ψ – NRQCD • Diff. cross section of prompt Y(1S) – NNLO CSM • Polarization of direct J/ψ – both models fail J/ψ Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

6. Quarkonium Production Measurements at CMS Differential production cross section and Polarization Measurements • Promptly produced J/ψ’s: Directly produced J/ψ’s + feed down from heavier charmonium states Charmonium Spectrum Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

7. Quarkonium Production Measurements at CMS Differential production cross section and Polarization Measurements • Non Prompt J/ψ’s: J/ψ’s that come from decays of B-Hadrons Decays of B-Hadrons (most importantly feed down from B0, B+, Bs and λb) additionally complicate the charmonium production measurements –> B-fraction is determined through studies of a displaced vertex, LB = O(100μm) Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

9. Event Selection and Muon Reconstruction Decay Channels CMS is ideally suited to study quarkonium production in the dimuon decay channels: J/ψ -> μ+ μ- , Branching ratio ≈ 6% ϒ(1S) -> μ+ μ- , Branching ratio ≈ 2.5% Muon Definition Muons are defined as tracks reconstructed in the silicon tracker which are associated to a compatible signal in the muon chambers • Two Muon „Qualities“: • Global muons are built as combined fit of tracker and muon-chamber hits (in muon system at least 2 stations must be hit) • Tracker muons requirements are looser than for Global muons at the expense of a slightly larger background • Selection Constraints: • Number of Track hits > 12 (hits in pixel layer > 2) • Χ2/ndf < 4; • Tracks must pass through a cylinder (r=3cm, l=30cm) around the primary vertex Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

10. Event Selection and Muon Reconstruction Quarkonium Event Selection • Pairing muons (GG,GT,TT) • Rejection of same-sign events • Computing of invariant dimuon mass • Definition of mass windows GG+GT+TT GG Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

11. Preliminary Results • ICHEP (Paris) Preliminary results • Diff. cross section of prompt J/ψ • Fraction of J/ψ‘s from B Hadrons • Dimuon mass spectrum Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)

12. Summary and Outlook • Quarkonium cross section and polarization measurements crucial to understand hadron production • Contradictory experimental polarization measurement results in the past • CMS is ideally suited to measure quarkonium production • Y(1S) analysis will need to wait till CMS gains more statistics • For J/ψ measurements statistics needed to get significant results almost reached Valentin Knünz (HEPHY Vienna)
