Quarkonium Production Studies in CMS

arXiv:0810.1133

Abstract

When the LHC starts its operation, CMS will have a unique opportunity to study q uarkonium production in pp collisions and later in PbPb collisions. Here we report on the methods and plans for measuring the differential pT Jpsi->mu+mu- production cross section, using data to be collected in the first LHC run by the CMS detector. Furthermore we discuss the performance of the CMS detector for quarkonium measurements in PbPb collisions.
