Measurements of the production of P-wave charmonium states through radiative decays at the ATLAS experiment

The production cross sections of the χc1 and χc2 charmonium states are measured in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV using 4.5 fb−1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The χc states are reconstructed via the radiative decay χc → J/ψ(μ+μ−)γ, where the photons are reconstruc...
