Abstract
A measurement is presented of the ϕ×BR(ϕ→K+K−) production cross section at √s=7 TeV using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 383 μb−1, collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Selection of ϕ (1020) mesons is based on the identification of charged kaons by their energy loss in the pixel detector. The differential cross section is measured as a function of the transverse momentum, pT,ϕ, and rapidity, yϕ, of the ϕ (1020) meson in the fiducial region 500 <pT,ϕ<1200 MeV, |yϕ|<0.8, kaon pT, K>230 MeV and kaon momentum pK<800 MeV. The integrated ϕ(1020)-meson production cross section in this fiducial range is measured to be σϕ×BR(ϕ→K+K−) = 570 ± 8 (stat) ± 66 (syst) ± 20 (lumi) μb.
