Measurement of the ${\rm Y}$(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to ${\rm Y}$(1S)${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

Abstract

The fiducial cross section for ${\rm Y}$(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both ${\rm Y}$(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79 $\pm$ 11 (stat) $\pm$ 6 (syst) $\pm$ 3 ($\mathcal{B}$) pb assuming the mesons are produced unpolarized. The last uncertainty corresponds to the uncertainty in the ${\rm Y}$(1S) meson dimuon branching fraction. The measurement is performed in the final state with four muons using proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$. This process serves as a standard model reference in a search for narrow resonances decaying to ${\rm Y}$(1S)${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ in the same final state. Such a resonance could indicate the existence of a tetraquark that is a bound state of two b quarks and two $\bar{\mathrm{b}}$ antiquarks. The tetraquark search is performed for masses in the vicinity of four times the bottom quark mass, between 17.5 and 19.5 GeV, while a generic search for other resonances is performed for masses between 16.5 and 27 GeV. No significant excess of events compatible with a narrow resonance is observed in the data. Limits on the production cross section times branching fraction to four muons via an intermediate ${\rm Y}$(1S) resonance are set as a function of the resonance mass.
