论文摘要
在$ \ sqrt {s} = 510 $ gev的$ p $+$ p $ collisisions中的底部夸克 - 安quark($ b \ bar {b} $)生产中的横截面是用相对论重的离子碰撞底座测量的。结果基于高质量的产量,类似的muon对,在Phenix Muon Arm接受度中测量($ 1.2 <| y | <2.2 $)。 $ b \ bar {b} $信号是通过利用中性$ b $ meson振荡的唯一属性来从类似二元组中提取的。我们报告了$dσ_{b \ bar {b} \rightArrowμ^\pmμ^\ pm}/dy = 0.16 \ pm 0.01〜(\ mbox {stat})\ pm 0.02〜(\ mbox {syst}} \ pm 0.02〜(for unge for) $ p_t $ ranges $ 1.2 <| y | <2.2 $和$ p_t> 1 $ gev/$ c $,dimuon质量为5--10 GEV/$ C^2 $。 $ b \ bar {b} $生产的此能量的推断总横截面为$ 13.1 \ pm 0.6〜(\ mbox {stat})\ pm 1.5〜(\ mbox {syst}} {syst})\ pm 2.7〜(\ mbox {global} {global})〜μ $ b。将总横截面与扰动量子染色体动力学计算进行比较,并且在不确定性中是一致的。将MUON对之间的方位角开头与使用{\ sc PS PS Pythia 6}生成的分布进行了比较,从$ b \ bar {b} $衰减及其$ p_t $分布进行了比较,其中包括临时订购过程。 {\ sc pythia}计算的方位相关性和对$ p_t $分布的描述不是很好,但在不确定性中仍然是一致的。风味创造和风味激发子处理比Gluon分裂相倾向。
The cross section of bottom quark-antiquark ($b\bar{b}$) production in $p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=510$ GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The results are based on the yield of high mass, like-sign muon pairs measured within the PHENIX muon arm acceptance ($1.2<|y|<2.2$). The $b\bar{b}$ signal is extracted from like-sign dimuons by utilizing the unique properties of neutral $B$ meson oscillation. We report a differential cross section of $dσ_{b\bar{b}\rightarrow μ^\pmμ^\pm}/dy = 0.16 \pm 0.01~(\mbox{stat}) \pm 0.02~(\mbox{syst}) \pm 0.02~(\mbox{global})$ nb for like-sign muons in the rapidity and $p_T$ ranges $1.2<|y|<2.2$ and $p_T>1$ GeV/$c$, and dimuon mass of 5--10 GeV/$c^2$. The extrapolated total cross section at this energy for $b\bar{b}$ production is $13.1 \pm 0.6~(\mbox{stat}) \pm 1.5~(\mbox{syst}) \pm 2.7~(\mbox{global})~μ$b. The total cross section is compared to a perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculation and is consistent within uncertainties. The azimuthal opening angle between muon pairs from $b\bar{b}$ decays and their $p_T$ distributions are compared to distributions generated using {\sc ps pythia 6}, which includes next-to-leading order processes. The azimuthal correlations and pair $p_T$ distribution are not very well described by {\sc pythia} calculations, but are still consistent within uncertainties. Flavor creation and flavor excitation subprocesses are favored over gluon splitting.
