1. Introduction

Despiteconsiderableeffortsover thelast decades,hadron for-mation, which is part of the nonperturbative sector of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), remains poorly understood within the standardmodelofparticlephysics.Heavy-quarkoniumproduction isanexcellentprobeofhadronformation.Inthepastyears, signif-icantprogress hasbeenmade inthetheory sector [1],especially inthe frameworkofnonrelativisticQCD(NRQCD) [2].This frame-workfactorizesintodistinct processestheshort-distance creation ofaheavyquark–antiquarkpair,ineitheracolor-singletora color-octetconfiguration,andthelong-distanceformationofthe quarko-niumbound-state.Thefirstprocessispresentlycalculatedto next-to-leadingorder inperturbative QCD [3]. Thebound-state forma-tion is described by transition probabilities, called long-distance matrixelements (LDMEs),which areassumedto beconstant (in-dependentofquarkoniumtransversemomentumandrapidity)and universal(independentofthecollisionsystemandenergy).Inthe Fock-stateexpansion oftheheavy-quarkonium state,only asmall number of color-singlet and color-octet terms contribute in the limitofsmallrelativequark velocityv. Thecolor-octetLDMEsare

noteasilycalculableandthedominantonesare,therefore,treated as free parameters andadjusted to agree with the experimental data[4–6].

The ratio of P-wave quarkonia production cross sections is a reliabletestofpredictionsbecausemanytheoretical,aswellas ex-perimental, uncertainties cancelout.Prompt χc measurements in

hadroncollisionswerenotpossibleuntiltheadventofprecise ver-texdetectorsthatallowedtheseparationofpromptlyproduced χc

fromthosecomingfromthedecayofBmesons[7].Thisabilityis important,asNRQCDpredictionsarevalidonlyforpromptly pro-duced χc. In the case of bottomonium, measurements are more

difficult owing to the reduced productioncross sections and the smallseparationinmass(19.4 MeV)betweenthe χb1(1P)andthe

χb2(1P)(forreadabilitythe1P isdroppedhereafter).The

produc-tionratioof χc2 and χc1 isdiscussedinrecenttheoretical papers [3,8],butthedebateontheimportanceofcolor-octetcontributions remainsopen.Inthebottomoniumsector,theNRQCDvelocity ex-pansionis more rigorouslyvalidgiven thesmaller relative quark velocity.Therefore,themeasurementofthe χb2to χb1production

crosssectionratioshouldgivefurtherinsightintothemechanism thatgovernsquarkonium production[8].AttheLHC,the charmo-nium χc2/χc1productioncrosssectionratiowas measuredbythe

LHCb [9], CMS[10], andATLAS [11] experiments,usingdata col-lected in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV. More recently, the LHCb http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2015.02.048

detecting their radiative decays χb1,2→ ϒ(1S) +γ,which isthe

dominantdecaymode,withthe ϒ(1S)decayinginto twomuons. An accurate measurement of thephoton energy(typically inthe range0.5–2 GeV)is obtainedfromthereconstruction ofthe mo-mentumoftheelectron–positronpairoriginatingfromthephoton conversioninthebeampipeorintheinnerlayersoftheCMS sil-icon tracker.

trig-gerrequirements atlow pT,and theamount ofavailable data at

high pT.

2. CMSdetectorandeventsamples

The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconduct-ing solenoidof6 m internaldiameter, providinga magneticfield of 3.8 T. Withinthe superconducting solenoid volume are a sili-conpixelandstriptracker,aleadtungstatecrystalelectromagnetic calorimeter,andabrass/scintillatorhadroncalorimeter.Muonsare measuredinthepseudorapidityrange|ημ| <2.4 ingas-ionization detectors embedded in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid. The first level ofthe CMS trigger system, composed of customhardware processors,usesinformationfromthe calorime-tersandmuondetectorstoselectthemostinterestingevents.The high-level triggerprocessorfarm furtherdecreases theeventrate beforedatastorage.AmoredetaileddescriptionoftheCMS detec-tor,together witha definitionofthecoordinatesystemused and therelevantkinematicvariables,canbefoundinRef.[14].

The analysisisbased on the√s=8 TeV pp datasample col-lected by CMS in 2012 at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integratedluminosity of20.7 fb−1.Theeventshavebeenselected at the triggerlevel by requiring opposite-sign muon pairs of in-variant mass in the range 8.5–11.5 GeV, dimuon pT larger than

6.9 GeV,adistanceofclosestapproachofeachmuontracktothe beamaxisoflessthan5 mm,anda χ2 _{probabilityfromthe}

de-scriptionoftheCMSdetector,includingrealistictriggeremulations andreconstruction algorithms identical to those used to process thecollecteddata.Since thephotonconversionprobability multi-pliedby the reconstructionefficiency islessthan 1% forphotons ofenergybelow1 GeV,alargenumberofeventsisneeded.To re-duceCPUusage,the χb mesonsweregeneratedalone,withoutany

“underlyingevent”.Thissimplificationshouldhavenoinfluenceon theresultsoftheanalysisbecauseanypossibleeffectof accompa-nyingparticleson thetrackreconstruction efficienciesisidentical forthetwo χb states,canceling intheratio.Both χb sampleswere

produced using the pythia event generator [16], withthe χb pT

distributionsparameterizedonthebasisofthe ϒ(2S)pT spectrum

measured byCMS[17].The χb mesonsweregeneratedinthe

ra-pidityrange|y| <2.0 andforcedtodecayinto ϒ(1S) +γ,withthe

ϒ(1S)mesonsdecayingtodimuons.Onlysimulatedeventswhere a photon conversion occurredwere further processedand recon-structed.

3. Eventreconstructionandselection

TheCMSmuonreconstructionprocedure[18]identifiesmuons by requiring that tracks reconstructed in the silicon tracker be matched withat leastone muon segmentin anymuon detector. Toensure an accurate pT measurement andto suppressthe

con-tributionfromdecays-in-flightofpionsandkaons,thenumberof silicontrackerlayerswithatleastonehitmustbelargerthanfive, withtwo ofthem inthesiliconpixel layers,andthe track-fit χ2

eventcontainingapairofopposite-signmuonsiskeptinthe anal-ysissampleifthedimuoninvariantmassmμμ isbetween8.5and 11 GeV, its absolute rapidity is lessthan 1.5, andthe χ2

prob-ability of the dimuon kinematic fit (with the two muon tracks constrainedtoacommonvertex)islargerthan1%.Toselect ϒ(1S)

candidates, mμμ isrequiredto be within 3σ of the ϒ(1S)mass, wherethedimuonmassresolution σ isparameterizedasa func-tion ofthe ϒ(1S)rapidity,andis obtainedbyfittingthe dimuon mass distribution in narrow dimuon rapidity bins. This parame-terization accountsfor thesignificant rapidity dependenceof the dimuonmassresolution,fromaround65 MeV at y=0 toaround 120 MeVat|y|=1.5.

The low-energy photons produced in the χb radiative decays

An algorithm optimized forthe re-construction oflow-pT displacedtrackshasbeenused,relying on

aniterativetrackingprocedure[19].

The trackpairs usedto reconstructtheconvertedphotons are required to fulfill the following selection criteria: the two tracks mustbeofoppositecharge;onemusthaveatleastfourhitsinthe silicon trackerlayersandthe other atleastthree hits;the inner-most hitsof thetwo tracks must be lessthan 5 cm apart along thebeamdirection;bothtracks musthaveareducedtrack-fit χ2

under the assumption that the intrinsic width of the χb states,

modeled bydouble-sidedCB functionswithshapeparameters fit-ted to the simulated distributions in each pT bin of the ϒ(1S).

The total χb1 yield, the Nχb2/Nχb1 ratio, and the total number

of background events Nbkg are free parameters when fitting the

data.The underlying continuum background,composed predom-inantly of events where the ϒ(1S) and photon are unrelated, ismodeled by a probability distribution function proportional to

Toevaluatetheuncertaintyinthe Nχb2/Nχb1 ratiostemmingfrom

theimperfectparameterizationoftheMCsignalshape,causedby thefinitenumberofsimulatedevents,alargenumberof pseudo-experiments are generated, randomly drawing sets of shape pa-rametersusingthecovariancematricesofthefitstothesimulated distributions.Theyarethen usedtofitthemeasured mass distri-butions, andthe resulting Nχb2/Nχb1 distribution is fittedwitha

Gaussianfunction,thestandarddeviationofwhichistakenasthe systematicuncertaintycorrespondingtothe“signalparameters”.

To account for possible discrepancies between the simulated andmeasuredeventsregarding,inparticular,theenergyscale cal-ibration and the measurement resolution, alternative data-fitting schemes are used, leaving some of the signal shape parameters free in the fit to the measured mass distributions. A Chebyshev polynomial function is also used asan alternative model forthe shape ofthemass distributionof thebackground.The maximum variationinthe Nχb2/Nχb1 ratiowiththesedifferentfitting

strate-gies is taken as the “signal and background modeling” system-aticuncertainty.Thefittingprocedureisfound tobeunbiased,as judgedusingpseudo-experimentswhereacertain Nχb2/Nχb1 value

a signal termdescribing the χb0 state. The possible influence of

7.Summary

Theproduction crosssection ratio σ(χb2(1P))/σ(χb1(1P))has

beenmeasured in pp collisionsby detecting theradiative decays toaϒ(1S)andaphoton,withthe ϒ(1S)decayingtotwomuons. Events are selected where the ϒ(1S) and photon are emitted in the phase-spaceregion defined by |yϒ_{| <1.5 and |η}γ_{| <1.0,in}

four bins of ϒ(1S) pT, spanning the range 7–40 GeV. The

mea-surement has been performed using a data sample collected by

theCMSexperimentin2012,at√s=8 TeV, correspondingtoan integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1. The cross section ratio aver-agedoverthe ϒ(1S) pTrangeismeasuredtobe0.85±0.07(stat+
