Abstract: Pair production of $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ mesons is observed at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV by the CMS experiment in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb$^{-1}$. Both $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ candidates are fully reconstructed via their decays to $\mu^{+}\mu^{- } $. The fiducial acceptance region is defined by an absolute $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ rapidity smaller than 2.0. The fiducial cross section for the production of $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ pairs, assuming that both mesons decay isotropically, is measured to be 68.8 $\pm$ 12.7 (stat) $\pm$ 7.4 (syst) $\pm$ 2.8 ($\mathcal{B}$) pb, where the third uncertainty comes from the uncertainty in the branching fraction of $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ decays to $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$. Assuming instead that the $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ mesons are produced with different polarizations leads to variations in the measured cross section in the range from $-38$% to $+36$%. | ||

Summary |
The first observation of $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ pair production has been performed with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV from a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb$^{-1}$. A signal yield of 38$\pm$7 $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ events is measured with a significance exceeding five standard deviations. Using the measured muon kinematic properties in the data, an event-based acceptance and efficiency-correction method is applied, minimizing the model dependence of the cross section measurement. The fiducial cross section of $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ pair production measured within the single-$\Upsilon$ acceptance $|y^{\Upsilon}|<2.0$ is found to be $\sigma_{\mathrm{fid}} =$ 68.8 $\pm$ 12.7 (stat) $\pm$ 7.4 (syst) $\pm$ 2.8 ($\mathcal{B}$) pb, where the $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ decay into muons is assumed to be isotropic. Assuming instead that the $\Upsilon(\mathrm{1S})$ mesons are produced with different polarizations leads to variations in the measured cross section in the range from $-$38% to $+$36%. An effective cross section is also estimated using our result that is in agreement with the values from heavy-quarkonium measurements, but is smaller than that from multijet studies. |
