The CMS phase space coverage

CMS + TOTEM: full φ and almost full η acceptance at the LHC charged tracks and muons: |η| < 2.5 electrons and photons: |η| < 3 jets, energy flow: |η| < 6.7 (plus η > 8.3 for neutrals, with the ZDC)

Quarkonium production at LHC energies

• The LHC will provide pp and Pb-Pb collisions at high energies and luminosities

• Early times will be with pp collisions at 10 TeV (or maybe less) with instantaneous luminosities between 1030 and 1031 cm-2s-1 (or maybe less)

• Depending on the machine performance, at some moment the energy will be increased to 14 TeV and the luminosity to 1034 cm-2s-1

• The Pb-Pb runs will occur at 5.5 TeV per NN collision, with 1027 cm-2s-1 Pb-Pb instantaneous luminosity

• Quarkonium states will be produced with very high rates

J/ detection and dimuon mass resolution in CMS

• CMS is ideally suited to measure quarkonium in the dimuon decay channel:• large rapidity coverage (||<2.5)• excellent dimuon mass resolution

• The good dimuon mass resolution is due to the good muon momentum resolution, which results from the matching between the tracks in the muon chambers and in the silicon tracker

• Because of the increasing material thickness traversed by the muons, the dimuon mass resolution changes with pseudo-rapidity, from ~15 MeV at ~0 to ~40 MeV at ~2.2

•The observed J/ yield results from:• direct production• decays from ’ and c states• decays from B hadrons

•CMS will measure the inclusive, prompt and non-prompt (B decays)production cross sections

•In 1 or 2 days at 1031 cm-2s-1

(1 pb-1 of integrated luminosity),CMS will collect ~ 25 000 J/ events

•The J/ yield is extracted by fitting the dimuon mass distribution, separating the signal peak from the underlying background continuum

CMS has a very good acceptance for dimuons in the Upsilon mass region

The dimuon mass resolution allows usto separate the three Upsilon states:~ 54 MeV within the barrel and~ 86 MeV when including the endcaps

• The material between the silicon tracker and the muon chambers (ECAL, HCAL, magnet’s iron) prevents hadrons from giving a muon tag but impose a minimum muon momentum of 3.5–4.0 GeV/c. This is no problem for the Upsilons, given their high mass, but sets a relatively high threshold on the pT of the detected J/’s.

• The low pT J/ acceptance is better at forward rapidities.• The dimuon mass resolution is 35 MeV, in the full region.

• CMS High Level Trigger: 12 000 CPUs of 1.8 GHz ~ 50 Tflops !• Executes “offline-like” algorithms

• pp design luminosity L1 trigger rate: 100 kHz• Pb-Pb collision rate: 3 kHz (peak = 8 kHz) pp L1 trigger rate Pb-Pb collision rate run HLT codes on all Pb-Pb events

• Pb-Pb event size: ~2.5 MB (up to ~9 MB)• Data storage bandwidth: 225 MB/s 10–100 Pb-Pb events / second• HLT reduction factor: 3000 Hz → 100 Hz• Average HLT time budget per event: ~4 s

• Using the HLT, the event samples of hard processes are statistically enhanced by considerable factors

production in Ultra-Peripheral Pb-Pb Collisions

• CMS will also measure Upsilon photo-production, occurring when the Pb nuclei fly through each other

• This will allow us to study the gluon distribution function in the Pb nucleus

• Around 500 events are expected after 0.5 nb-1, adding the ee and decay channels using neutron tagging in the ZDCs

•J/ and polarization, and c → J/ studies require larger samples

LHC proton beam in CMS, on September 10

CMS recorded several splash events when the proton beam was steered onto the collimators; halo muons were observed once beam started passing through CMS

Detectors flooded by few hundred thousand muons resulting from 109 protons (one bunch) simultaneous hitting a collimator
