Quarkonium production at ATLAS

The production of quarkonium is an important testing ground for QCD calculations. The J/ψ and Υ production cross-sections are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7~TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Differential cross-sections are presented as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. The fraction of J/ψ produced in B-hadron decays is also measured and the differential cross-sections of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ production determined separately. Measurements of the fiducial production cross-section of the Υ(1S) and observation of the χ_{c,bJ} states are also discussed.

Production of charm and charmonium with the ATLAS detector at 7 TeV

We report on the observation of the charm mesons D^\ast \pm, D^\pm and D_s ^\pm with 1.4 nb^-1 of data, and of the J/psi-->mu+mu- resonance with 78 nb-1 of data from the ATLAS detector in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The resultant signals support the high performance of the ATLAS detector as predicted from simulation and prospects for future measurements in the charm and charmonium sector.
