Measurement of the relative prompt production rate of $\chi_{c2}$ and $\chi_{c1}$ in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV
Eur. Phys. J. C 72 (2012) 2251
Abstract: A measurement is presented of the relative prompt production rate of $\chi_{c2}$ and $\chi_{c1}$ with 4.6 inverse femtobarns of data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV. The two states are measured via their radiative decays $\chi_{c} \to J/\psi + \gamma$, with the photon converting into a dielectron pair for J/$\psi$ rapidity abs(y(J/$\psi$)) < 1.0 and photon transverse momentum pt($\gamma$) > 0.5 GeV. The measurement is given for six intervals of pt(J/$\psi$) between 7 and 25 GeV. The results are compared to theoretical predictions.
