Abstract:

We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Υ(1S) resonance into a final state consisting of a photon and two KS0 candidates. We find evidence for a signal for Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525); f2′(1525)→γKS0KS0, at a rate B(Υ(1S) →γf2′(1525))=(4.0±1.3±0.6)×10-5, consistent with previous observations of Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525) ; f2′(1525)→K+K-, and isospin. Combining this branching fraction with existing branching fraction measurements of Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525) and J/ψ→γf2′(1525), we obtain the ratio of branching fractions: B(Υ(1S) →γf2′(1525))/B(J/ψ→γf2′(1525))=0. 09±0.02, approximately consistent with expectations based on soft-collinear effective theory. © 2011 American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons has been measured as a function of the photon transverse energy ETγ in pp collisions at √s=7TeV using data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.9pb-1. Photons are required to have a pseudorapidity |ηγ|<1.45 and ETγ>21GeV, covering the kinematic region 0.006
