Abstract

The cross-section of associated J/?-?(2S) production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of (Formula presented.) TeV is measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.2 fb-1, collected by the LHCb experiment. The measurement is performed for both J/? and ?(2S) mesons having transverse momentum pT< 14 GeV/c and rapidity 2.0 < y < 4.5, assuming negligible polarisation of the J/? and ?(2S) mesons. The production cross-section is measured to be 4.5 ± 0.7 ± 0.3 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The differential cross-sections are measured as functions of several kinematic variables of the J/?-?(2S) candidates. The results are combined with a measurement of J/?-J/? production, giving a cross-section ratio between J/?-?(2S) and J/?-J/? production of 0.274 ± 0.044 ± 0.008, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
