The differential cross-section as a function of rapidity has been measured for the exclusive production of J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV, using data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 930 pb^−1.

Abstract

The differential cross-section as a function of rapidity has been measured for the exclusive production of J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV, using data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 930 pb^−1. The cross-sections times branching fractions to two muons having pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 are measured to be σ_{pp → J/ψ → μ+ μ−}(2.0 < η_μ± < 4.5) = 291 ± 7 ± 19 pb, σ_{pp → ψ(2S) → μ+ μ−}(2.0 < η_μ± < 4.5) = 6.5 ± 0.9 ± 0.4 pb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The measurements agree with next-to-leading order QCD predictions as well as with models that include saturation effects.
