Investigation into the event-activity dependence of ${\rm Y}$(nS) relative production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV

Abstract

The ratios of the production cross sections between the excited ${\rm Y}$(2S) and ${\rm Y}$(3S) mesons and the ${\rm Y}$(1S) ground state, detected via their decay into two muons, are studied as a function of the number of charged particles in the event. The data are from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb${}^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Evidence of a decrease in these ratios as a function of the particle multiplicity is observed, more pronounced at low transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mu \mu }$. For ${\rm Y}$(nS) mesons with $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mu \mu }$ $>$ 7 GeV, where most of the data were collected, the correlation with multiplicity is studied as a function of the underlying event transverse sphericity and the number of particles in a cone around the ${\rm Y}$(nS) direction. The ratios are found to be multiplicity independent for jet-like events. The mean $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mu \mu }$ values for the ${\rm Y}$(nS) states as a function of particle multiplicity are also measured and found to grow more steeply as their mass increases.
