Title: Measurements of μ μ pairs from open heavy flavor and Drell-Yan in p + p collisions at s = 200 GeV

Abstract

PHENIX reports differential cross sections of μμ pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays and the Drell-Yan production mechanism measured in p+p collisions at $$ \sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV at forward and backward rapidity (1.2 < |η| < 2.2). The μμ pairs from $$ c\overline{c}\ $$, $$ b\overline{b}\ $$, and Drell-Yan are separated using a template fit to unlike- and like-sign muon pair spectra in mass and pT. The azimuthal opening angle correlation between the muons from $$ c\overline{c}\ $$ and $$ b\overline{b}\ $$ decays and the pair-pT distributions are compared to distributions generated using pythia and powheg models, which both include next-to-leading order processes. The measured distributions for pairs from $$ c\overline{c}\ $$ are consistent with pythia calculations. The $$ c\overline{c}\ $$ data present narrower azimuthal correlations and softer pT distributions compared to distributions generated from powheg. The $$ b\overline{b}\ $$ data are well described by both models. The extrapolated total cross section for bottom production is 3.75 ± 0.24(stat) ± $$\mathbb 0.35\atop{0.50}$$ (syst) ± 0.45(global) [μb], which is consistent with previous measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the same system at the same collision energy and is approximately a factor of 2 higher than the central value calculated with theoretical models. The measured Drell-Yan cross section is in good agreement with next-to-leading-order quantum-chromodynamics calculations.

abstractNote = {PHENIX reports differential cross sections of μμ pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays and the Drell-Yan production mechanism measured in p+p collisions at $ \sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV at forward and backward rapidity (1.2 < |η| < 2.2). The μμ pairs from $ c\overline{c}\ $, $ b\overline{b}\ $, and Drell-Yan are separated using a template fit to unlike- and like-sign muon pair spectra in mass and pT. The azimuthal opening angle correlation between the muons from $ c\overline{c}\ $ and $ b\overline{b}\ $ decays and the pair-pT distributions are compared to distributions generated using pythia and powheg models, which both include next-to-leading order processes. The measured distributions for pairs from $ c\overline{c}\ $ are consistent with pythia calculations. The $ c\overline{c}\ $ data present narrower azimuthal correlations and softer pT distributions compared to distributions generated from powheg. The $ b\overline{b}\ $ data are well described by both models. The extrapolated total cross section for bottom production is 3.75 ± 0.24(stat) ± $\mathbb 0.35\atop{0.50}$ (syst) ± 0.45(global) [μb], which is consistent with previous measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the same system at the same collision energy and is approximately a factor of 2 higher than the central value calculated with theoretical models. The measured Drell-Yan cross section is in good agreement with next-to-leading-order quantum-chromodynamics calculations.},
