Projections of the fit result for a selected bin in $p_{\rm T}$ and $y$ for (a) the $ J/\psi$ invariant dimuon mass and (b) $t_z$. For the former, the total fitted function is shown (blue solid line) together with the signal distribution (red dotted line). In the $t_z$ projection the total fitted function is shown together with the $ J/\psi \mathrm{from} b $ component, the prompt signal, the background and the tail component due to the association of a $ J/\psi$ candidate with a wrong PV.

Invariant mass distribution of the selected $\varUpsilon\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ candidates in the range $ p_{\rm T} <15 {\mathrm{ Ge V /}c} $ and $2.0<y<4.5$. The three peaks correspond to the $\varUpsilon(1S)$, $\varUpsilon(2S)$ and $\varUpsilon(3S)$ meson signals (from left to right). The superimposed curve and the signal yields (dotted) are the result of the fit described in the text.

Differential production cross-section for (a) prompt $ J/\psi$ mesons and (b) $ J/\psi \mathrm{from} b $ as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ in bins of $y$. It is assumed that prompt $ J/\psi$ mesons are produced unpolarised. The errors are the quadratic sums of the statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Comparison of the differential cross-section for the production of prompt $ J/\psi$ meson (under the assumption of zero polarisation) as a function of $ p_{\rm T} $ with direct production in an NLO NRQCD model [47,48] (orange diagonal shading), an NNLO* CSM [10] (solid yellow) and an NLO CSM [7] (blue vertical shading). The points show the measurements reported in this analysis.

Differential production cross-section for $ J/\psi \mathrm{from} b $ (a) as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ in the fiducial range $2.0<y<4.5$, and (b) as a function of $y$ in the fiducial range $ p_{\rm T} <14 {\mathrm{ Ge V /}c} $. The FONLL prediction [46,50] is shown in yellow. The points show the measurements reported in this analysis.

Predictions based on the FONLL formalism [46,50] for the production cross-section for $ J/\psi \mathrm{from} b $ in the fiducial range $0< p_{\rm T} <14 {\mathrm{ Ge V /}c} $ and $2.0<y<4.5$ (yellow band). The uncertainty includes contributions from the renormalisation scale, quark masses and the choice of PDF set. The black dotted line shows the central value of the prediction. The points show the LHCb measurements at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ [14], 7 [12], and 8$ \mathrm{ Te V} $.
