Observation of $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ pair production in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = $$ 8 TeV
Abstract
Here, pair production of $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ mesons is observed at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} = $$ 8 TeV by the CMS experiment in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb$$^{-1}$$. Both $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ candidates are fully reconstructed via their decays to $$\mu^{+}\mu^{- } $$. The fiducial acceptance region is defined by an absolute $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ rapidity smaller than 2.0. The fiducial cross section for the production of $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ pairs, assuming that both mesons decay isotropically, is measured to be 68.8 $$\pm$$ 12.7 (stat) $$\pm$$ 7.4 (syst) $$\pm$$ 2.8 ($$\mathcal{B}$$) pb, where the third uncertainty comes from the uncertainty in the branching fraction of $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ decays to $$\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$$. Assuming instead that the $$\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$$ mesons are produced with different polarizations leads to variations in the measured cross section in the range from $$-38\%$$ to $$+36\%$$.
