Study of $J/\psi$ production in jets

Abstract

The production of $J/\psi$ mesons in jets is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions using data collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The fraction of the jet transverse momentum carried by the $J/\psi$ meson, $z\equiv p_{\mathrm{T}}(J/\psi )/p_{\mathrm{T}}(\mathrm{jet})$, is measured using jets with $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\mathrm{jet})>20$ GeV in the pseudorapidity range $2.5<\eta (\mathrm{jet})<4.0$. The observed $z$ distribution for $J/\psi$ mesons produced in $b$-hadron decays is consistent with expectations. However, the results for prompt $J/\psi$ production do not agree with predictions based on fixed-order non-relativistic QCD. This is the first measurement of the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ fraction carried by prompt $J/\psi$ mesons in jets at any experiment.
