The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

This paper reports the first measurement of the production cross sections of the three bottomonium states, Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), and Upsilon(3S), in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV. The cross sections are measured differentially in transverse momentum from 20 to 200 GeV in two rapidity intervals, extending the reach of previous measurements by a factor of two. These data are meant to constrain non-relativistic QCD, particularly the long-distance matrix elements that parameterize how a heavy quark-antiquark pair becomes a meson. The measurement matters because it provides new constraints at an energy and momentum range not previously explored, and the numerical results are made available for global fits.

Core claim

The central result is the pT-differential cross section times branching fraction for each Upsilon state, extracted from fits to the dimuon invariant mass spectrum in 19 pT bins and two rapidity intervals. The measurement covers pT from 20 to 200 GeV, with the excited-to-ground-state ratios leveling off for pT above about 55 GeV. The cross sections include feed-down from heavier bottomonia and are quoted assuming unpolarized production, with tables provided to rescale to other polarization scenarios. Numerical values are given in an appendix and a data record.

What carries the argument

The analysis chain combines three elements: signal yields from an extended maximum likelihood fit of the dimuon mass spectrum using a double Crystal Ball shape for each resonance plus a polynomial background; an acceptance correction computed from simulated events, assuming unpolarized production; and a detection efficiency built from single-muon efficiencies measured from data with a tag-and-probe technique, multiplied by a correction for the hardware trigger inefficiency when the two muons are so close in angle and momentum that they may be misidentified as one track.

Load-bearing premise

The central values rest on the assumption that the trigger efficiency for muon pairs that are close in angle and momentum is accurately described by the detector simulation; if the simulation mis-models this inefficiency, the low-pT cross sections could be biased by more than the quoted uncertainty.

What would settle it

Compare the measured dimuon trigger efficiency as a function of the angular separation of the two muons, obtained from events recorded with single-muon triggers, against the efficiency predicted by the simulation. If the ratio differs from unity beyond the assigned uncertainty, the baseline cross sections, particularly near pT = 20 GeV, would need to be shifted.

Watch this falsifier — get emailed when new claim-graph text bears on it.

If this is right

  • The new measurements extend the pT reach of quarkonium cross sections to 200 GeV, roughly doubling the range previously explored.
  • The plateau in the Upsilon(2S)/Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(3S)/Upsilon(1S) ratios at high pT gives a new observable that global NRQCD fits must reproduce.
  • The near-identical cross sections in the two rapidity intervals indicate that production is fairly flat across midrapidity.
  • The polarization conversion tables allow the results to be adapted to any future polarization measurement without redoing the analysis.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If the high-pT plateau persists beyond 200 GeV, it would suggest that the three Upsilon states share a common short-distance production mechanism, with binding dynamics almost independent of the radial excitation.
  • The low-pT bins are the most sensitive to the simulation-based correction for the trigger inefficiency; a dedicated data-driven check using well-separated dimuons could either validate or bound the systematic uncertainty.
  • Because the cross sections are inclusive of feed-down, comparisons with theory will need to subtract feed-down from heavier states; a prompt-only extraction would be a natural follow-up.

Referee Report

1 major / 5 minor

Summary. This paper reports the first measurement of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) differential production cross sections times the dimuon branching fraction in pp collisions at √s=13.6 TeV, using 37.4 fb⁻¹ of CMS data collected in 2022. The cross sections are measured as a function of pT from 20 to 200 GeV in two rapidity intervals, |y|<0.6 and 0.6<|y|<1.2. Signal yields are extracted from extended maximum likelihood fits to the dimuon invariant mass spectrum; muon efficiencies are measured with tag-and-probe, acceptances are obtained from GEANT4-based simulation with data-driven reweighting checks, and a dedicated correction accounts for L1 trigger inefficiency for close muon pairs. Numerical results are provided in Appendix A and in HEPData. The measurement extends the pT reach of the previous CMS 13 TeV measurement from 100 to 200 GeV and includes feed-down contributions from heavier bottomonia.

Significance. If the result holds, it provides a valuable new reference dataset for NRQCD global fits at a new collision energy and extends the high-pT reach of bottomonium production measurements. The analysis is careful and standard: the fit model is validated with alternative parametrizations, the tag-and-probe efficiencies are data-driven, the acceptance is checked by reweighting simulated spectra to the measured ones, and the systematic uncertainties are broken down by source. The availability of the numerical values in tables and HEPData is a clear strength that facilitates phenomenological reuse.

major comments (1)
  1. [Section 5] The systematic uncertainty on the L1 dimuon trigger inefficiency for close muon pairs is a load-bearing component, reaching about 9% at intermediate pT. The text states that this uncertainty reflects 'potential residual differences' between detector and simulation, but it does not explain how the quoted 1%–9% values are derived from the studies described. The rejection of low-efficiency events is a useful sensitivity check, but it does not validate the MC efficiency itself; the baseline and rejected results can agree while both share a common bias from an inaccurate correction. Please provide a more quantitative description of the uncertainty estimation, and discuss whether a data-driven closure test using single-muon-triggered events could be used to anchor this correction.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Section 3/6] The text says the cross sections include feed-down from heavier bottomonia, but does not clarify whether non-prompt production from b-hadron decays is also included. Since the analysis does not use displacement requirements, the measurement is presumably inclusive; please state this explicitly.
  2. [Figure 3] The systematic uncertainties in Tables A.1–A.3 are described as fully correlated, yet the ratios in Fig. 3 treat all uncertainties as uncorrelated. Please justify this conservative choice or account for the correlations between the 13.6 TeV and earlier CMS measurements where appropriate.
  3. [Appendix A] The text says the polarization scaling factors in Table A.4 can be interpolated to other polarization scenarios, but the interpolation formula is not given. Specify how the factors scale as a function of λθ (e.g., linear interpolation).
  4. [Section 4] The fixed double-Crystal-Ball shape parameters are said to be validated with data integrated over pT. It would be helpful to show a few fit pull distributions or goodness-of-fit indicators, especially in the highest-pT bins where yields are small.
  5. [Section 5] Minor typographical issues: 'still provide a reasonably good description the data' should read 'description of the data'; the notation for the two rapidity ranges in the L1 uncertainty sentence is ambiguous and should be clarified.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: the cross sections are extracted from data via Eq. (1); the NRQCD curves are explicitly illustrative and no theoretical parameter is fitted to produce the reported numbers.

full rationale

The paper is a cross-section measurement, not a derivation of a predicted quantity. Eq. (1) defines Bd²σ/dydpT as N/(L Δy ΔpT) × 1/ε × 1/A. N is obtained from a fit to the measured dimuon mass spectrum, ε is measured from data with tag-and-probe, and A is from a GEANT4 simulation. None of these inputs is defined in terms of the reported cross section. The only simulation-dependent correction, the L1 dimuon trigger inefficiency for close muon pairs, is neither fitted to the final data nor presented as a prediction: Sec. 5 assigns an uncertainty for "potential residual differences" between detector and MC, and the robustness check that rejects the affected events changes the sample and is not used to define the central values. The NRQCD curves in Fig. 2 are explicitly "shown for illustration" and described as depending on LDME values, feed-down fractions, and polarization scenarios chosen in Ref. [59], so no circularity arises from them. The numerous CMS self-citations document the tag-and-probe technique and previous measurements; they are methodological references, not load-bearing justifications of the measured result. The reported numbers are benchmark data and are self-contained against the data sample; no central claim is forced by definition or by self-citation.

The production cross sections of the $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S), and $\Upsilon$(3S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV, using a data sample collected in 2022 by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 37.4 fb$^{-1}$. The measurement is performed in the $\mu^+\mu^-$ decay channels, differentially as a function of transverse momentum in the 20$-$200 GeV range, in the $\lvert y \rvert$ $\lt$ 0.6 and 0.6 $\lt$ $\lvert y \rvert$ $\lt$ 1.2 rapidity intervals.
