Abstract

The cross section ratio R_{J / ψ} = Br (Υ{hooked} → l⁺ l^-) ṡ d σ (Υ{hooked}) / d y |_{y = 0} / 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_{J / ψ} = (9.0 ± 2.1) × 10^-6. 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 |_{y = 0} = 4.5 ± 1.1 pb / nucleon.
