Description

The production of quarkonium is an important testing ground for QCD calculations. The fraction of J/\psi mesons produced from B-hadron decays was measured by the ATLAS experiment and the prompt and non-prompt differential J/\psi production cross-sections determined. The cross-section values extracted from data are compared to predictions from next-to-leading order QCD calculations. Results for heavier quarkonia will also be shown.
