2. Darren Price – Production of J/ at ATLAS :: Quarkonium2011, Vienna :: April 18 th ‘11 Page 2 Introduction In this talk is presented measurement of the:  Inclusive J/  production cross-section  Fraction of J/  from B-decays  Non-prompt J/  production cross-section  Prompt J/  production cross-section using the ATLAS detector with ~2.2 pb -1 data from 2010 running. The measurements are presented both differentially as a function of J/  p T and rapidity, and integrated over the maximum span of these to provide integrated cross-sections Experimental uncertainties are at the 10—15% level across the range of measured cross-sections, and the results are systematics limited over the bulk of the distributions Results are compared to theoretical predictions from Colour Evaporation Model, Colour Singlet NNLO* and FONLL where appropriate. arXiv:1104.3038

Darren Price – Production of J/ at ATLAS :: Quarkonium2011, Vienna :: April 18 th ‘11 Page 3 Dataset selection and trigger Trigger selection: Use single muon seeded trigger (and Minimum Bias Scintillator based trigger in very early data-taking) with open (~0 GeV), 4 GeV and 6 GeV thresholds as instantaneous luminosity increased (to keep rate under control) B-fraction measurement uses a logical OR of all of these triggers, giving increased candidate events and (slightly) higher integrated luminosities Event-based selection:  Has two reconstructed muons (with Inner Detector matched track).  Three tracks associated to Primary Vertex (PV)  Tracks associated to these muons/PV pass loose selection criteria of at least one pixel hit, and at least six hits in the Silicon tracker

Darren Price – Production of J/ at ATLAS :: Quarkonium2011, Vienna :: April 18 th ‘11 Page 4 Candidate selection Combined muon Muon spectrometer Calorimeters Inner Detector Tagged muon Muons associated to J/  candidate may be:  Combined (full Muon Spectometer & Inner Detector track measurement with fit between the two)  Tagged (Inner Detector measurement associated to at least one hit in Muon Spectrometer)  Tagged increases chance of fake muon signature, so require at least one of muons in pair to be combined  At least one muon in pair must have been the object that fired the trigger.  Muons must have p>3 GeV, p T >1 GeV, |  | 0, silicon hits>5

6. Darren Price – Production of J/ at ATLAS :: Quarkonium2011, Vienna :: April 18 th ‘11 Page 6 Basic strategy of inclusive cross-section analysis method is: Reconstruct J/  candidates in p T -y bins Correct candidate-by-candidate for efficiency, bin migrations, acceptances N corr =  w -1. N reco Fit resultant weighted yields to derive signal component N corr  N J/  corr Extract resultant cross-section from N J/  corr in given analysis bin Measurement of inclusive cross-section Detector acceptance Reconstruction efficiency Trigger efficiency Bin migration ID reco efficiency (per muon track)

8. Darren Price – Production of J/ at ATLAS :: Quarkonium2011, Vienna :: April 18 th ‘11 Page 8 Bin migration and track/vertex efficiencies Bin migration effects  Due to finite detector resolution J/  candidate measured in one bin at reconstruction level may be identified with a different analysis bin before smearing.  Correct for by parameterising unfolded cross-section, smearing with muon resolution measured in ATLAS, and looking at change in yields in given bin  Effect varies from 0.1% to 3% across measured phase space ID track reconstruction  ID track reco efficiency correction 99.5% per (muon) track with 0.5% uncertainty per track added linearly Vertex requirement  Require di-muon pair to fit to common vertex. Determined that impact on (real) J/  candidates was below 0.1% and so correction is neglected.  Requirement does reduce continuum background
