Investigation into the event-activity dependence of $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ relative production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 7 TeV
JHEP 11 (2020) 001
Abstract: The ratios of the production cross sections between the excited $\Upsilon\text{(2S)}$ and $\Upsilon\text{(3S)}$ mesons and the $\Upsilon\text{(1S)}$ 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 $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ 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 $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ direction. The ratios are found to be multiplicity independent for jet-like events. The mean ${{p_{\mathrm{T}}}^{\mu\mu}} $ values for the $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ states as a function of particle multiplicity are also measured and found to grow more steeply as their mass increases.

Summary
The measurement of ratios of the $\Upsilon(\text{nS}) \to \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ yields in 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, are reported as a function of the number of charged particles produced with pseudorapidity ${|{\eta^{\text{track}}}|} < $ 2.4 and transverse momentum ${{p_{\mathrm{T}}}^{\text{track}}} > $ 0.4 GeV. A significant reduction of the $\Upsilon\text{(2S)}/\Upsilon\text{(1S)}$ and $\Upsilon\text{(3S)}/\Upsilon\text{(1S)}$ production ratios is observed with increasing multiplicity. This result confirms the observation made in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at lower centre-of-mass energy [7], with increased precision. The effect is present in different ranges of ${{p_{\mathrm{T}}}^{\mu\mu}} $, but decreases with increasing ${{p_{\mathrm{T}}}^{\mu\mu}} $. For ${{p_{\mathrm{T}}}^{\mu\mu}} > $ 7 GeV, different observables are studied in order to obtain a better description of the phenomenon in connection with the underlying event. No variation in the decrease of the ratios is found by changing the azimuthal angle separation of the charged particles with respect to the $\Upsilon$ momentum direction. The same applies when varying the number of tracks in a restricted cone around the Y momentum direction. However, the ratios are observed to be multiplicity independent for jet-like events. The presented results give for the first time a comprehensive review of the connection between $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ production and the underlying event, stressing the need for an improved theoretical description of quarkonium production in proton-proton collisions.
