Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. Study of the production of X(3872) mesons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using a data sample collected in 2011 with an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb-1. The X(3872) mesons are detected through their decay to J/PSI PI+ PI- with the J/PSI decaying to two muons, and cover the X(3872) PT range from 10-50 GeV and |eta| < 1.2. The ratio of the X(3872) to PSI(2S) cross sections times their branching ratios to J/PSI PI+ PI- is presented as a function of PT, and by determining the fraction of X(3872) mesons originating from B decays, the prompt X(3872) differential cross section is extracted. In addition the di-pion mass spectrum from the X(3872) decay is measured.
