Abstract: The simultaneous production of two $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons in proton-proton collisions is observed by CMS at $\sqrt s = $ 8 TeV at LHC in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb$^{-1}$. The statistical significance is well in excess of 5 standard deviations. Both $\Upsilon$ candidates are fully reconstructed via their decays into $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$. The acceptance region is defined by the individual $\Upsilon$ rapidity, $y(\Upsilon)$, and transverse momentum, $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\Upsilon)$: $|y(\Upsilon)| <$ 2.0 and $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\Upsilon)<$ 50 GeV. The total cross section for the production of $\Upsilon(1S)$ pairs assuming that both $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons decay isotropically, is measured to be 68.8 $\pm$ 12.7 (stat) $\pm$ 7.4 (syst) $\pm$ 2.8 (BR) pb, where the third uncertainty results from the uncertainty in the $\Upsilon(1S) \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ branching fraction. Different assumptions about the $\Upsilon(1S)$ polarization imply modifications to the cross section ranging from -38% to 36%. | ||

Summary |
The $\Upsilon(1S)$ meson pair production where both $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons originate from the common vertex is observed with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt s=$ 8 TeV at the LHC from a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb$^{-1}$. A signal yield of 38 $\pm$ 7 $\Upsilon(1S)\Upsilon(1S)$ events is measured with the local significance, including systematics, that exceeds five standard deviations. Using the measured muon kinematics in the data, an event-based acceptance and efficiency correction method is applied, minimizing the model dependence of the cross section measurement. The total cross section of $\Upsilon(1S)$ pair production measured within the single $\Upsilon$ acceptance, $|y(\Upsilon)|<$ 2.0 and $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\Upsilon)<$ 50 GeV, is found to be $\sigma_{\mathrm{T}} = $ 68.8 $\pm$ 12.7 (stat) $\pm$ 7.4 (syst) $\pm$ 2.8 (BR) pb, where the $\Upsilon(1S)$ decay into muons is assumed to be isotropic. Different assumptions about the $\Upsilon(1S)$ polarization imply modifications to the cross section ranging from -38% to 36%. |
