Photoproduction of quarkonium in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions.

چکیده
We discuss the photoproduction of Upsilon and J/psi at high energy pp, pp, and heavy ion colliders. We predict large rates in pp interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron and in pp and heavy ion interactions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The J/psi is also produced copiously at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These reactions can be used to study the gluon distribution in protons and heavy nuclei. We also show that the different CP symmetries of the initial states lead to large differences in the transverse momentum spectra of mesons produced in pp vs pp collisions.

Heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in the LHC era: from proton–proton to heavy-ion collisions
This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure at high energy to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Emphasis is given to the lessons learnt from LHC Run 1 results, which are reviewed in a global p...

In these proceedings we present a brief overview of recent open heavy flavor and quarkonium production theory in proton-proton (pp), proton/deuteron-nucleus (pA, dA) and nucleus-nucleus collisions.
متن کاملPhotoproduction of heavy vector meson at the LHC
Proton-proton and ultra-peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will allow two-photon and photon-nucleon interactions to be studied at energies higher than at any existing accelerator. A photon from the electromagnetic field of one of the projectiles may interact with the other projectile in a variety of ways. For a recent review of so-called ultra-peripheral co...
متن کاملViolation of k⊥ factorization in quark production from the Color Glass Condensate
We examine the violation of the k ⊥ factorization approximation for quark production in high energy proton-nucleus collisions. We comment on its implications for the open charm and quarkonium production in collider experiments.
متن کاملDrell - Yan and J / ψ production in high energy proton - nucleus and nucleus - nucleus collisions ∗
The distributions of outgoing protons and charged hadrons in high energy protonnucleus collisions are described rather well by a linear extrapolation from proton-proton collisions. This linear extrapolation is applied to precisely measured Drell-Yan cross sections for 800 GeV protons incident on a variety of nuclear targets. The deviation from linear scaling in the atomic number A can be accoun...
