$\mathbf{\sqrt{s}=7}$ TeV pp碰撞中快度D介子产生的测量

Measurement of D-meson production at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{s}=7}$ TeV

ALICE Collaboration

摘要:

利用大型强子对撞机(LHC)上的ALICE探测器,在质心能量为$\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV的质子-质子碰撞中,测量了瞬发粲介子${\rm D^0}$、${\rm D^+}$、${\rm D^{*+}}$和${\rm D_s^+}$的产生截面. D介子是由它们的衰变${\rm D}^0 \to {\rm K}^-π^+$、${\rm D}^+\to {\rm K}^-π^+π^+$、${\rm D}^{*+} \to {\rm D}^0 π^+$、${\rm D_s^{+}\to ϕπ^+\to K^-K^+π^+}$和它们的电荷共轭物重建的。相对于以前的测量在同一快度区域,横向动量($p_{\rm T}$)的覆盖范围扩大,不确定性减少了约2倍。同样提高了估计的总$\rm c\overline c$生产横截面的精度。测量的$p_{\rm T}$微分截面与三个微扰QCD计算的结果进行了比较。

英文摘要:

The production cross sections of the prompt charmed mesons ${\rm D^0}$, ${\rm D^+}$, ${\rm D^{*+}}$ and ${\rm D_s^+}$ were measured at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). D mesons were reconstructed from their decays ${\rm D}^0 \to {\rm K}^-π^+$, ${\rm D}^+\to {\rm K}^-π^+π^+$, ${\rm D}^{*+} \to {\rm D}^0 π^+$, ${\rm D_s^{+}\to ϕπ^+\to K^-K^+π^+}$, and their charge conjugates. With respect to previous measurements in the same rapidity region, the coverage in transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) is extended and the uncertainties are reduced by a factor of about two. The accuracy on the estimated total $\rm c\overline c$ production cross section is likewise improved. The measured $p_{\rm T}$-differential cross sections are compared with the results of three perturbative QCD calculations.
