Results

Figure 14 shows the J/&psi&mu mass distrubutions for the the backgrounds, and the observed events. We observe a clear a signal above background, which is summarized in Table 6. In the 4.0-6.0 GeV/c2 mass region we see 60.0 ± 12.6 events above background. This corresponds to a significance of 5.2&sigma .

We estimate the relative cross-section times branching ration using the following formula:

We calculate &epsilonrel, NBc and NB for the two cases: pT(B)>4.0 GeV/c and pT(B)>6.0 GeV/c. The results of the calculations for these two cases can be seen in Table 7.
