First measurement of the associated production of W± bosons and prompt J/ψ mesons at the ATLAS experiment

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The first observation of the production of a prompt J/ψ meson in association with a W± boson in the W± → μ±n and J/ψ → μ+μ decay modes is reported. The analysis is based on a dataset collected in the year 2011 by the ATLAS detector in √ s = 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC, corresponding to 4.5 fb-1. The W+ prompt J=y cross section is measured relative to the inclusiveWψ cross section. The results are compared to theoretical predictions to probe different mechanisms of charmonium production in hadronic collisions.
