Evidence for simultaneous production of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ mesons

Abstract

We report evidence for the simultaneous production of J/ψJ/\psi and Υ\Upsilon mesons in 8.1 fb1^{-1} of data collected at s=\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab ppˉp \bar p Tevatron Collider. Events with these characteristics are expected to be produced predominantly by gluon-gluon interactions. In this analysis, we extract the effective cross section characterizing the initial parton spatial distribution, σeff=2.2±0.7\mbox(stat)±0.9\mbox(syst) \mboxmb\sigma_{eff}=2.2\pm 0.7\mbox{(stat)} \pm 0.9 \mbox{(syst)} ~\mbox{mb}.
