STAR實驗是位於美國布魯克海文國家實驗室(Brookhaven National Laboratory)，相對論性重離子對撞機(Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider)中，最主要的實驗之一。最近，STAR實驗安裝了新的渺子探測器 -- Muon Telescope Detector (MTD)。在2013年時，完成了約63%的安裝，並於2014年全部安裝完成。這是我們第一次能夠在STAR使用雙渺子衰變去研究Quarkonia的物理。

我們使用了三種方法在2013年收集的質心能量為500 GeV的質子質子對撞數據中研究了渺子辨別的分析。結果表示，三種方法都能夠在p_T > 3 GeV/c的範圍裡有高於80%的辨別效率。

另外，我們也應用了渺子辨別分析的結果研究J/psi粒子在相同的實驗數據中的生成截面(production cross section)。我們的結果跟使用雙電子衰變的分析結果，在p_T重疊的區域是非常吻合的，並且也非常符合CGC+NRQCD理論的預測。

The Solenoid Tracker at RHIC (STAR) is one of the major experiments in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 2013, a new detector – Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) is installed about 63% of the full system and completely installed in 2014. It provides an excellent opportunity to study heavy quarkonia physics using dimuon channel in the experiments.

We studied the muon identification using three different methods with proton-proton collision at sqrt(s) = 500 GeV data collected in 2013. The result shows that the muon identification efficiencies reaches about 80% with p_T > 3 GeV/c.

The measurement of the J/psi invariant cross section is also studied using dimuon decay channel with Likelihood Ratio method for muon identification. The results in dimuon channel are consistent with the results in dielectron channel in the overlap p_T region and have good agreement with the CGC+NRQCD prediction.
