Inclusive quarkonium production at forward rapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV
Abstract
We report on the inclusive production cross sections of J/, (2S), (1S), (2S) and (3S), measured at forward rapidity with the ALICE detector in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy TeV. The analysis is based on data collected at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.28 pb. Quarkonia are reconstructed in the dimuon-decay channel. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity , over the ranges GeV/ for J/, GeV/ for all other resonances, and for . The cross sections, integrated over and , and assuming unpolarized quarkonia, are b, b, nb, nb and nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. These values agree, within at most , with measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration in the same rapidity range.
