Coherent $J/\psi$ yield measured using an unbinned 2D ($m_{ee},p_{T}$ ) likelihood fit. The model constructed to fit the data is a sum of several  probability density functions (pdf). The main contributions to the fit can be grouped as: background (combinatorial+correlated), hadronic and photoproduced $J/\psi$ components. Photoproduced $J/\psi$ components are obtained from STARLIGHT + HIJING simulations.
