Production of associated ${\rm Y}$ and open charm hadrons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$TeV via double parton scattering

Abstract

Associated production of bottomonia and open charm hadrons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$TeV is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3$f{b}^{-1}$ accumulated with the LHCb detector. The observation of five combinations, ${\rm Y}(1S)D^0$, ${\rm Y}(2S)D^0$, ${\rm Y}(1S)D^{+}$, ${\rm Y}(2S)D^{+}$ and ${\rm Y}(1S)D_s^{+}$, is reported. Production cross-sections are measured for ${\rm Y}(1S)D^0$ and ${\rm Y}(1S)D^{+}$ pairs in the forward region. The measured cross-sections and the differential distributions indicate the dominance of double parton scattering as the main production mechanism. This allows a precise measurement of the effective cross-section for double parton scattering.
