Abstract :
The B physics programme of the ATLAS experiment includes the study of the production cross sections, searches for rare B decays signatures which are sensitive to new physics at the TeV energy scale and measurements of CP violation effects in B-events, such as BS0→J /ψ φ and Bd0 →J /ψ KS0. The key to the detection of these B signals in ATLAS is to achieve a high trigger efficiency for low-pT di-muon events, keeping an acceptable trigger rate. ATLAS developed two approaches for triggering on di-muon events from a resonance such as J/ψ and Y. The first approach is to start from a di-muon signature at Level 1, whilst the second is based on a dedicated Level 2 algorithm. These trigger scheme has been studied using collision data at √s= 7 TeV. Results are shown and compared to Monte Carlo predictions.
