Sumario:The prompt and non-prompt production cross-sections for ψ(2S) mesons are measured using 2.1 fb<SUP>−1</SUP> of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The measurement exploits the ψ(2S) → J/ψ (→ μ<sup>+</sup>μ¯)π<sup>+</sup> π¯ decay mode, and probes ψ(2S) mesons with transverse momenta in the range 10 ≤ p<sub>T</sub> < 100 GeV and rapidity |y| < 2.0. The results are compared to other measurements of ψ(2S) production at the LHC and to various theoretical models for prompt and non-prompt quarkonium production.
