Measurement of the Ds+ − Ds− Production Asymmetry in 7 TeV pp Collisions ABSTRACT: Heavy quark production in 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC is not necessarily flavour symmetric. The production asymmetry, A_P, between Ds+ and Ds− mesons is studied using the φ π± decay mode in a data sample of 1.0 fb^−1 collected with the LHCb detector. The difference between π+ and π− detection efficiencies is determined using the ratios of fully reconstructed to partially reconstructed D∗± decays. The overall production asymmetry in the Ds± rapidity region 2.0 to 4.5 with transverse momentum larger than 2 GeV is measured to be A_P = (−0.33 ± 0.22 ± 0.10)%.

Abstract

Measurement of the Ds+ − Ds− Production Asymmetry in 7 TeV pp Collisions ABSTRACT: Heavy quark production in 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC is not necessarily flavour symmetric. The production asymmetry, A_P, between Ds+ and Ds− mesons is studied using the φ π± decay mode in a data sample of 1.0 fb^−1 collected with the LHCb detector. The difference between π+ and π− detection efficiencies is determined using the ratios of fully reconstructed to partially reconstructed D∗± decays. The overall production asymmetry in the Ds± rapidity region 2.0 to 4.5 with transverse momentum larger than 2 GeV is measured to be A_P = (−0.33 ± 0.22 ± 0.10)%. This result can constrain models of heavy flavour production.
