Quarkonium Production at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
More than 30 years after the discovery of the J/ψ, its production mechanism is still poorly understood. With the LHC data it will be possible to study quarkonia up to very high transverse momenta and with high statistics. In this note we discuss experimental aspects of J/ψ and Υ(1S) production at the LHC. In particular, we investigate the sensitivity of a general purpose LHC detector to observables, which are complementary to the cross section and polarisation measurement. These observables would be sensitive to the radiation produced in association with the quarkonium.

Suppression of Quarkonium Production in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC and LHC
A model for the production of quarkonium states in the midrapidity region at RHIC and LHC energy range is presented which explores well understood properties of QCD only. An increase of the quarkonium hadronisation time with the initial energy leads to a gradual change of the most important phenomena from fixed targetto collider-energies. We evaluate nuclear effects in the quarkonium production...
متن کاملQuarkonium Production Studies in CMS
When the LHC starts its operation, CMS will have a unique opportunity to study quarkonium production in pp collisions and later in PbPb collisions. Here we report on the methods and plans for measuring the differential pT J/ψ→ μ μ production cross section, using data to be collected in the first LHC run by the CMS detector. Furthermore we discuss the performance of the CMS detector for quarkoni...
متن کاملPerspectives for inclusive quarkonium production in photon-photon collisions at the LHC
In a few months the LHC will start operating and provide physicists with a tremendous amount of new experimental information on the fundamental particles and their interactions. In this context, much is expected from the LHC to elucidate the still ill-understood quarkonium production mechanism (see [1,2,3] for recent reviews). This is of particular importance in view of the possible suppression...
متن کاملQuarkonium Production at High-Energy Colliders
The theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production at high-energy pp̄ and ep colliders is reviewed. Predictions based on non-relativistic QCD factorisation are confronted with recent charmonium and bottomonium data from the Tevatron and HERA. Potential shortcomings of the present theoretical analyses are discussed, and the prospects for quarkonium physics at the upgraded Tevatron and HER...
متن کاملThe Systematics of Quarkonium Production at the LHC and Double Parton Fragmentation
In this paper we discuss the systematics of quarkonium production at the LHC. In particular, we focus on the necessity to sum logs of the form log(Q/p⊥) and log(p⊥/mQ). We show that the former contributions are power suppressed, while the latter, whose contribution in fragmentation is well known, also arise in the short distance (i.e., non-fragmentation) production mechanisms. Though these cont...
