Description

The Lambda_b differential production cross section are measured as functions of their corresponding transverse momentum and rapidity in proton-proton collisions as centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Measurements are based on Lambda_b reconstructed decays in the J/psi meson and Lambda^0 baryon final state where the J/psi decays into an opposite charged muon pair and Lambda_0 decays into a proton and a pion meson. This work uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9/fb.
