Abstract: (Springer)
Associated production of bottomonia and open charm hadrons in pp collisions at s=7 \sqrt{s}=7 and 8 TeV is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb1^{−1} accumulated with the LHCb detector. The observation of five combinations, Y(1S)D0^{0}, Y(2S)D0^{0}, Y(1S)D+^{+}, Y(2S)D+^{+} and Y(1S)Ds+_{s}^{+} , is reported. Production crosssections are measured for Y(1S)D0^{0} and Y(1S)D+^{+} pairs in the forward region. The measured cross-sections and the differential distributions indicate the dominance of double parton scattering as the main production mechanism.
