چکیده
We calculate the cross sections for the direct hadroproduction of J/ψ and Υ associated with a heavy-quark pair of the same flavour at leading order in α S and v in NRQCD. These processes provide an interesting signature that could be studied at the Tevatron and the LHC and also constitute a gauge-invariant subset of the NLO corrections to the inclusive hadroproduction of J/ψ and Υ. We find that the fragmentation approximation commonly used to evaluate the contribution of these processes to the inclusive quarkonium production sizeably underestimates the exact calculation in the kinematical region accessible at the Tevatron. Both J/ψ and Υ are predicted to be unpolarised, independently of their transverse momentum.

Exclusive vector meson photoproduction, pp → ppV and pp → ppV occurs with significant rates at hadron colliders. The reaction can be used to study the gluon distribution of protons. Vector mesons may be produced with either proton as a target; because of interference between the two production channels, the pT spectra of vector mesons produced in pp and pp collisions are quite different.

The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass Q and finite transverse momentum QT is described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton pair production is dominated by quark-gluon scattering in the region QT > Q/2. This feature leads to sensitivity to the gluon density in kinematical regimes acc...
