Quarkonium Production at STAR
نویسنده
چکیده
range 4 < pT < 12 GeV/c. The pT spectrum and nuclear modification factor for J/ψ with pT < 10 GeV/c is reported, along with results from Υ(1S+2S+3S) production in Au+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor for high-pT J/ψ (pT > 5 GeV/c) is found to be consistent with unity in peripheral collisions, while a significant suppression of low-pT J/ψ and Υ is observed in central collisions. The elliptic flow of J/ψ is reported for 20-60% central Au+Au

Progress on Quarkonium Studies in STAR
We review recent progress on the study of quarkonium production with the STAR detector. We discuss the results of a J/ψ → ee test trigger for p + p collisions during Run V at RHIC. For the Au+Au data from Run IV, we discuss the implementation of a test trigger for Υ → ee. We obtain an upper limit on Υ production from the test trigger data. The prospects for future runs with upgraded detectors a...
متن کاملQuarkonium Production at Z and in Υ(1s) Decay
The conventional color-singlet model was challenged by the recent data on quarkonium production. Discrepancies in production rates were observed at the Tevatron, at LEP, and in fixed-target experiments. The newly advocated color-octet mechanism provides a plausible solution to the anomalous quarkonium production observed at the Tevatron. The color-octet mechanism should also affect other quarko...
متن کاملQCD Factorization for heavy quarkonium production at collider energies
In this talk, I briefly review several models of the heavy quarkonium production at collider energies, and discuss the status of QCD factorization for these production models.
متن کاملFragmentation, NRQCD and Factorization in Heavy Quarkonium Production
We discuss factorization in heavy quarkonium production in high energy collisions using NRQCD. Infrared divergences at NNLO are not matched by conventional NRQCD matrix elements. However, we show that gauge invariance and factorization require that conventional NRQCD production matrix elements be modified to include Wilson lines or non-abelian gauge links. With this modification NRQCD factoriza...
متن کاملProduction of Heavy Quarkonium in High Energy Colliders
Recent data from the Tevatron has revealed that the production rate of prompt charmonium at large transverse momentum is orders of magnitude larger than the best theoretical predictions of a few years ago. These surprising results can be understood by taking into account two recent developments that have revolutionized the theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production. The first is the...
