Introduction
Motivations
The narrow resonance of bottomonium, Upsilon
(1S), decaying into a muon pair, certainly plays
an important role in the detector calibration and
alignment.

On the other hand, even though Upsilon (1S) has
been discovered over 30 years ago and has been
studied extensively since then, its production
mechanism at hadron colliders is still not well
understood. It can be produced directly or
indirectly from higher excited states of
bottomonium. The cross section predictions of
the early Color Singlet Model (CSM) were an order
of magnitude lower than that measured by the
Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF)
collaboration. While the new Color Octet
Mechanism (COM) in the framework of
Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) fits the cross
section measurement well, it is in disagreement
with the polarization measurements. The Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) will produce high pT
Upsilons at a large rate and has the potential to
discriminate between the emerging new models.

Analysis Strategy
Muon Efficiencies
Acceptance
Cross Section
-
- number of generated Upsilons
-
- number of Upsilons where both daughter muons are
reconstructed with tracks in the silicon tracker
with pT gt 3.5 GeV and ? lt 2.1
- - acceptance
- and - identification and
trigger efficiencies - - corrected yield of Upsilon
candidates in a pT bin, extracted from the fit to
the dimuon mass distribution - - integrated luminosity
- - Upsilon pT bin size
- Efficiencies are measured with the Tag and Probe
data driven method. Probe muons are paired with
well identified Tag muons. Background is
subtracted by fitting the Upsilon peak of the
invariant mass distribution.
- Acceptance as a function of pT and rapidity
Event Selection
- Single muon triggered data stream
- Two Tracker Muons of opposite charge
- pT gt 3.5 GeV and ? lt 2.1
- d0 lt 2 cm and z0 lt 25 cm
Cross Section Measurement with ?Ldt 1/pb at 10
TeV
Results
Dimuon Mass Fit
Systematic Uncertainties
- Upsilon candidates are weighted to account for
acceptance, identification and trigger
efficiencies - Unbinned maximum likelihood fit of dimuon mass
- Three double Gaussians and linear background
- Same resolution function for the three Upsilons
- Relative mass difference of Upsilons fixed to
that of PDG value
- Luminosity measurement (dominant)
- Acceptance and efficiencies measurements
- Tag and Probe bias (due to altered kinematic
distributions of the probe) - Unknown polarization
- Choice of probability distribution function
- Normalized differential cross section
