Abstract

The production of J/psi mesons is studied with the LHCb detector using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s)=2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 71 nb^-1. The differential cross-section for inclusive J/psi production is measured as a function of its transverse momentum pT. The cross-section in the fiducial region 0<pT<12 GeV/c and rapidity 2.0<y<4.5 is measured to be 5.6 +/- 0.1(stat) +/- 0.4 (syst) mub, with the assumption of unpolarised J/psi production. The fraction of J/psi production from b-hadron decays is measured to be (7.1 +/- 0.6 (stat) +/- 0.7 (syst)) .

Acceptance (orange circles), reconstruction (upward-facing red triangles), trigger (downward-facing green triangles) and total (blue squares) $ { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu}$ efficiency, as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ . The efficiencies are evaluated from a Monte Carlo simulation in which the $ { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu}$ is produced unpolarised.
