Stand-alone plots
The following plots are produced with simple selections, explained in the figure caption.
Di-muon invariant mass in the region of the ψ and Υ meson families - both muons in the barrel
Υ(1s,2s,3s)→μμ candidates; plots shows all oppositely charged di-muon pairs with invariant masses between 8 and 12 GeV, where both muons are detected in the barrel. Events firing the following triggers are used, with progressively more selective triggers applied as the instantaneous luminosity rises:
- a single muon at level 1 (L1) without further selection
- a single muon at level 1, confirmed at high-level trigger (HLT) with cuts of either 4 or 6 GeV applied;
- a single muon at L1, confirmed at HLT with cuts of either 4 or 6 GeV applied, and then a second muon found at HLT in the same region of interest (RoI) as the L1 muon. The two muons are required to be in the invariant mass range 0.5<Mμμ<12.0 GeV;
- a single muon at L1, confirmed at HLT with cuts of either 4 or 6 GeV applied, and then a second muon found at HLT anywhere in the detector. The two muons are required to be in the invariant mass range 0.5<Mμμ<12.0 GeV or in the range 8.0<Mμμ<12.0 GeV;
- a pair of muons at L1, both confirmed at HLT with cuts of (4,4) or (4,6) GeV applied. The two muons are required to be in the invariant mass range 0.5<Mμμ<12.0 GeV or in the range 8.0<Mμμ<12.0 GeV;
Additionally the pair of muons are required to have a minimum pT of (2.5, 4) GeV calculated by the offline reconstruction. At least one high-quality (“combined”) muon is required in each pair. The signal lineshape fits are Gaussian with a fourth-order Chebyshev polynomial to model the background. The separations of the three peaks are fixed using the PDG masses but the absolute position on the invariant mass scale is allowed to float in the fit. The plots corresponds to an integrated luminosity of around 41 pb-1.
