Abstract: (Springer)
Charmonium production cross-section in proton–proton collisions is measured at the centre-of-mass energy s=13TeV\sqrt{s}=13\,\textrm{TeV} using decays to ppˉp\bar{p} final state. The study is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2fb12.2\,\textrm{fb}^{-1} collected in 2018 with the  LHCb \text{ LHCb } detector. The production cross-section of the ηc\eta _c meson is measured in a rapidity range of 2.0<y<4.02.0< y < 4.0 and in a transverse momentum range of 5.0<pT<20.0GeV ⁣/ ⁣c5.0< p_{\textrm{T}} < 20.0\,\textrm{GeV}\!/\!{ c}, which is extended compared with previous  LHCb \text{ LHCb } analyses. The differential cross-section is measured in bins of pTp_\mathrm{{T}} and, for the first time, of y. Upper limits, at 90% and 95% confidence levels, on the ηc(2S)\eta _c(2S) and hc(1P)h_c(1P) prompt production cross-sections are determined for the first time.
