## Abstract

The polarization of the Y(1S), Y(2S) and Y(3S) mesons, produced in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV, is measured using data samples collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 and 2 fb$^{−1}$, respectively. The measurements are performed in three polarization frames, using Y → μμ decays in the kinematic region of the transverse momentum p$_{T}^{Υ}$
