Measurement of J/Ψ meson and b-hadron production cross section at √s = 1.96 TeV
- Okayama Univ. (Japan)
A new measurement of the inclusive and differential production cross sections of J/Ψ mesons and b-hadrons in proton-antiproton collisions at √s = 1960 GeV is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 39.7 pb-1 collected by the CDF Run II detector. The integrated cross section for inclusive J/Ψ production for all transverse momenta from 0 to 20 GeV/c in the rapidity range |y| < 0.6 is found to be 4.08 ±0.02(stat)$$+0.36\atop{-0.33}$$(syst) μb. The fraction of J/Ψ events from the decay of the long-lived b-hadrons is separated by using the lifetime distribution in all events with pT(J/Ψ) > 1.25 GeV/c. The total cross section for b-hadrons, including both hadrons and anti-hadrons, decaying to J/Ψ with transverse momenta greater than 1.25 GeV/c in the rapidity range |y(J/Ψ)| < 0.6, is found to be 0.330 ± 0.005(stat)$$+0.036\atop{-0.033}$$(syst) μb. Using a Monte Carlo simulation of the decay kinematics of b-hadrons to all final states containing a J/Ψ, the first measurement of the total single b-hadron cross section down to zero transverse momentum is extracted at sqrts = 1960 GeV. The total single b-hadron cross section integrated over all transverse momenta for b-hadrons in the rapidity range |y| < 0.6 is found to be 17.6 ± 0.4(stat)$$+2.5\atop{-2.3}$$(syst) μb.
