Abstract

The mid-rapidity (d σ / d y at y = 0) and total (σ ) production cross sections of Jψ mesons are measured in proton-nucleus interactions. Data collected by the HERA-B experiment in interactions of 920  GeV / c protons with carbon, titanium and tungsten targets are used for this analysis. The Jψ mesons are reconstructed by their decay into lepton pairs. The total production cross section obtained is σ = 663 ± 74 ± 46  nb / nucleon. In addition, our result is compared with previous measurements. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
