Abstract

The cross section ratio R = Br (Υ{hooked} → l l ) ṡ d σ (Υ{hooked}) / d y | / σ (J / ψ) has been measured with the HERA-B spectrometer in fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions at 920 GeV proton beam energy corresponding to a proton-nucleon c.m.s. energy of sqrt(s) = 41.6   GeV. The combined results for the decay channels Υ{hooked} → e e and Υ{hooked} → μ μ yield a ratio R = (9.0 ± 2.1) × 10 . The corresponding Υ{hooked} production cross section per nucleon at mid-rapidity (y = 0) has been determined to be Br (Υ{hooked} → l l ) ṡ d σ (Υ{hooked}) / d y | = 4.5 ± 1.1   pb / nucleon. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
