Polarization of Υ(nS) at the Tevatron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The polarization of inclusive Υ(nS) at the Fermilab Tevatron is calculated within the nonrelativistic QCD factorization framework. We use a recent determination of the NRQCD matrix elements from fitting the CDF data on bottomonium production from Run IB of the Tevatron. The result for the polarization of Υ(1S) integrated over the transverse momentum bin 8 < pT < 20 GeV is consistent with a recent measurement by the CDF Collaboration. The transverse polarization of Υ(1S) is predicted to increase steadily for pT greater than about 10 GeV. The Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) are predicted to have significantly larger transverse polarizations than Υ(1S). PACS numbers: 13.85.t, 13.85.Ni, 14.40.Gx

NRQCD Analysis of Bottomonium Production at the Tevatron
Recent data from the CDF collaboration on the production of spin-triplet bottomonium states at the Tevatron pp̄ collider are analyzed within the NRQCD factorization formalism. The color-singlet matrix elements are determined from electromagnetic decays and from potential models. The color-octet matrix elements are determined by fitting the CDF data on the cross sections for Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3...
متن کاملBeauty and Charm Production Cross Section Measurements at the Tevatron
Heavy quark production probes QCD at the interface of the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes. Studying the production of heavy quarks is an important test of models in both regimes. In this article, recent results on beauty and charm production from the CDF and DØ experiments at the Tevatron are reported. These include measurements of correlated bb̄ production, the ψ(2S) production cross ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Polarization of the Υ ( 1 S ) and Υ ( 2 S )
We present a study of the polarization of the Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) using a sample of 1.3 fb −1 of data collected by the D0 experiment in 20022006 during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. The polarization parameter α = (σ T − 2σ T)/(σ T + 2σ T) where σ T and σ L are the transverse and longitudinal polarized components of the cross section is measured as a function of transverse momentum (p T) for the ...
متن کاملAssociated Production of Υ and Weak Gauge Bosons at the Tevatron
We calculate the rate of production ofW+Υ and Z0+Υ at the Tevatron. We find the cross sections at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV to be roughly 450 pb for W+Υ and 150 pb for Z0+Υ. The dominant production mechanism involves the binding of a color-octet bb̄ pair into a P-wave bottomonium state which subsequently decays into Υ. The purely leptonic decay modes of Υ, W, and Z0 provide signatures w...
متن کامل0 Results from Bottomonia Production at the Tevatron and Prospects for the LHC ∗
We extend our previous analysis on inclusive heavy quarkonia hadroproduction to the whole Υ(nS) (n=1,2,3) resonance family. We use a Monte Carlo framework with the colour-octet mechanism implemented in the PYTHIA event generator. We include in our study higher order QCD effects such as initial-state emission of gluons and Altarelli-Parisi evolution of final-state gluons. We extract some NRQCD c...
