Measurement of Quarkonium Polarization to Probe QCD at the LHC
Valentin Knünz
Abstract:The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is ideally suited to study quarkonium production in the experimentally very clean dimuon decay channel, up to considerably higher values of transverse momentum than accessible in previous experiments. The scope of this thesis is to describe in detail the measurements of the polarizations of the Υ(nS) bottomonium states and (in less detail) of the ψ(nS) charmonium states, based on a dimuon data sample collected with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at a cente… Show more
