Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. The inclusive production cross sections at forward rapidity of jpsi, psiprime, Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) are measured in pp collisions at s^1/2 = 7 TeV with the ALICE detector. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.35 pb^-1 collected at the LHC. Quarkonia are reconstructed in the dimuon-decay channel and the signal yields are evaluated using a fit to the mu^+mu^- invariant mass distributions. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum pt and rapidity y, over the transverse momentum range 0 < pt < 20 GeV for jpsi and 0 < pt < 12 GeV for all other resonances and for rapidities 2.5 < y < 4. The cross sections integrated over these pt and y ranges are: - sigma_jpsi = 6.78 +- 0.04 +- 0.64 mub - sigma_psiprime = 1.26 +- 0.08 +- 0.21 mub - sigma_Upsilon(1S) = 54.2 +- 5.0 +- 6.1 nb - sigma_Upsilon(2S) = 18.4 +- 3.7 +- 2.1 nb where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. These cross sections are obtained assuming unpolarized quarkonium production.
