Abstract
The polarizations of prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV, using a dimuon data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1. The prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) polarization parameters λϑ, λφ, and λϑφ, as well as the frame-invariant quantity λ˜, are measured from the dimuon decay angular distributions in three different polarization frames. The J/ψ results are obtained in the transverse momentum range 14
