Abstract:
|
The inclusive b
¯b- and cc¯-dijet production cross-sections in the forward region
of pp collisions are measured using a data sample collected with the LHCb detector at a
centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.6 fb−1
. Differential cross-sections are measured as a function of the transverse
momentum and of the pseudorapidity of the leading jet, of the rapidity difference between
the jets, and of the dijet invariant mass. A fiducial region for the measurement is defined
by requiring that the two jets originating from the two b or c quarks are emitted with
transverse momentum greater than 20 GeV/c, pseudorapidity in the range 2.2 < η < 4.2,
and with a difference in the azimuthal angle between the two jets greater than 1.5. The
integrated b
¯b-dijet cross-section is measured to be 53.0±9.7 nb, and the total cc¯-dijet crosssection is measured to be 73 ± 16 nb. The ratio between cc¯- and b
¯b-dijet cross-sections is
also measured and found to be 1.37 ± 0.27. The results are in agreement with theoretical
predictions at next-to-leading order. |
