Description
The polarizations of the ϒ (1 S) , ϒ (2 S) , and ϒ (3 S) mesons are measured as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at √{ s} = 7 TeV. The measurements are performed with a dimuon data sample collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1. The results are extracted from the dimuon decay angular distributions, in two ranges of ϒ (nS) transverse momentum (10-15 and 15-35 GeV), and in the rapidity interval | y | < 1.2. The results do not show significant changes from low- to high-multiplicity pp collisions, although large uncertainties preclude definite statements in the ϒ (2 S) and ϒ (3 S) cases.
