Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. The double-differential cross sections of promptly produced J/psi and psi(2S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, as function of transverse momentum pT and absolute rapidity |y|. The analysis uses J/psi and psi(2S) dimuon samples collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 4.55 and 4.9 fb^-1, respectively. The results are based on a two-dimensional analysis of the dimuon invariant mass and decay length, and extend to pT = 120 and 100 GeV for the J/psi and psi(2S), respectively, when integrated over the interval |y| < 1.2. The ratio of the psi(2S) over J/psi cross sections is also reported for |y| < 1.2, over the range 10 < pT < 100 GeV. These are the highest-pT values for which the cross sections and ratios have been measured. The tables below list the results of J/psi and psi(2S) differential cross section times dimuon branching fraction B in four rapidity bins for the unpolarized scenario, the unpolarized differential cross sections times B in the integrated rapidity range |y| < 1.2 with the corresponding scaling factors needed to obtain the cross sections for different polarization scenarios and the ratio of the psi(2S) to J/psi cross sections for the integrated rapidity range |y| < 1.2.
