16 Quarkonium measurement in ALICE Quarkonium in ALICE can be measured in two ways: in the central barrel in the e + e - channel ( y <0.9) in the forward spectrometer in the + - channel (2.5<y<4) 3 sources of J/ 1) Direct production 2) Feed down from heavier cc states Prompt J/ radiative decay c J/ in the central barrel 3) J/ from b-hadron decay can be identified d in the central barrel, good impact parameter resolution ( r < 60 m for p T >1 GeV/c) forward detection more difficult 3-muon events B cross section from single- Semileptonic decays of B pairs Preliminary ALICE results refer to inclusive J/ production 16

17 J/ + - : s=7 TeV sample Data sample: Integrated luminosity = 13.6 nb -1, corresponding to data collected between May and July 2010 (~ 10-15% of the 2010 total t statistics) ti ti Trigger: muon in the forward spectrometer, in coincidence with minimum bias interaction trigger Run Selection: Runs selected according to quality checks on the stability of the muon spectrometer tracking and trigger performances Event Selection: at least one vertex reconstructed in the silicon pixel detector at least one muon reconstructed in the tracking and trigger chambers satisfying the trigger algorithm cut on the track position at the end of the front absorber (2 0 < abs <9 0 ) rapidity window: 2.5<y<4 transverse momentum window 0<p T <8 GeV/c (statistics) 17

18 J/ + - : signal extraction The number of J/ is extracted from a fit to the invariant mass spectrum, using Crystal Ball shape for the signal (J/ and ) Sum of ftwo exponentials for the background The available J/ statistics, used for the cross section determination is N J/ = 1909 ± 78 J/ S/B (2.9<M<3.3) ~ 2.4 With a suitable p T cut (smaller background), also the (2S) signal is visible, but with a much lower statistical significance 18

19 J/ + - : acceptance efficiency Inputs: realistic y and p T J/ distributions detector status and efficiency p T CDF extrapolation y CEM calculation Study of differential distributions: 1D acceptance correction Main source of uncertainty: unknown J/ψ polarization Good coverage down to p T =0!

22 Differential cross section: d J/ /dp T (2.5<y<4) (ICHEP 2010) (stat errors only) Very ygood agreement with the LHCb result in the same rapidity range Other sources of point to point systematic errors (signal extraction, acceptance input) vary between 3 and 10% (not yet fully evaluated) 22
