Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho obteve-se, com o experimento STAR, medidas de produção de J/ψ e ϒ em rapidez central (η=0), em colisões p+p com √s = 200 GeV no RHIC. A medida de ϒ foi a primeira medida de bottomonium em rapidez central no RHIC. Essas medidas servem como linha de base para a investigação experimental sistemática da supressão de heavy-quarkonium, tida como uma evidência observacional do Plasma de Quarks e Glúons (QGP). Para a realização dessas medidas foi desenvolvido um sistema específico de gatilho de eventos para heavy-quarkonium, envolvendo, em sua configuração, os subsistemas do calorímetro eletromagnético (BEMC) e do cilindro de gatilho central (CTB, apenas para J/ψ). Os resultados obtidos foram a seção de choque de produção de J/ψ, BRee×σJ/ψincl = 122(23)estat(27)sist. (nb), e de ϒ, BRee×dσϒ/dy|y=0 = 114 (29)estat(24)sist. (pb), além do espectro em momento transversal de J/ψ, cujo momento quadrático médio observado foi ‹ pT2›=3,43(68) (GeV/c)2. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com previões teóricas de 3 modelos, o de singleto de cor (CSM), QCD não-relativística (NRQCD) e de evaporação de cor (CEM), além de diversos outros dados experimentais. Com excessão do CSM, todos os modelos concordam razoavelmente bem com os dados experimentais.

Abstract in English
This work presents mid-rapidity (η=0) J/ψ and ϒ measurements for p+p collisions at √s = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at RHIC. ϒ results correspond to the first mid-rapidity bottomonium measurement at RHIC. These measurements can be used as the baseline of the systematic experimental investigation on heavy-quarkonium suppression, believed to be one important observational evidence of the existence of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). In order to acquire the data for these analyses, it was necessary to develop a new heavy-quarkonium trigger system, based on the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter (BEMC) and the Central Trigger Barrel (CTB, J/ψ only) detectors. The inclusive J/ψ cross section at mid-rapidity is BRee×σJ/ψincl = 122(23)estat(27)sist. (nb) and for the ϒ, BRee×dσϒ/dy|y=0 = 114 (29)estat(24)sist.(pb). In the case of the J/ψ measurement, we acquired enough statistics to obtain a transverse momentum spectrum and the mean squared transverse momentum is ‹ pT2›=3,43(68) (GeV/c)2. These results were compared to theoretical predictions of 3 different models, the Color Singlet Model (CSM), the Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and the Color Evaporation Model (CEM), as well as to other experimental data. Except for the CSM, all the predictions agree reasonably well with the data.
