Charmonium production at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
The analyses of large transverse momentum charmonium production at the Tevatron have shown that fragmentation of gluons is an important production mechanism. We study large-pT charmonium production in pp collisions at the LHC, and find that due to the copious gluon production at this energy, the gluon fragmentation contribution completely overwhelms the fusion contribution and the charm quark fragmentation contribution. Our analysis shows that for J/ψ production at the LHC, there is a significant event rate even for pT ∼ 100 GeV. The measurement of the cross-section at such large values of pT will provide a very important test of the fragmentation mechanism.

Secondary Charmonium Production in Heavy Ion Collisions at LHC Energy
We consider the production of charmonium by DD̄ annihilation during the mixed and hadronic phase of a Pb-Pb collision at LHC energy. The calculations for secondary J/ψ and ψ production are performed within a kinetic model taking into account the spacetime evolution of a longitudinally and transversely expanding medium. It is shown that the yield of secondary J/ψ mesons depends strongly on the J/...
متن کاملCharmonium dynamics in dA and AA at RHIC and LHC
We discuss features of charmonium suppression at √ s = 200 GeV within the framework of the Glauber-Gribov theory and the comovers interaction model. The latter approach has been extended by allowing for secondary charmonium production due to recombination of cc̄ pairs in the medium, estimated from pp data at the same bombarding energy. Centrality and rapidity dependence of the nuclear modificati...
متن کاملCharmonium and bottomonium production in heavy-ion collisions
We review the present status in the theoretical and phenomenological understanding of charmonium and bottomonium production in heavy-ion collisions. Starting from an introductory historical perspective, recapitulating the basic notion of “anomalous quarkonium suppression” in heavy-ion collisions, we develop ingredients and concepts aimed at a comprehensive approach to utilize heavy quarkonia as...
متن کاملProduction of a forward J/ψ and a backward jet at the LHC
We study the production at the LHC of a forward J/ψ meson and a backward jet with a large rapidity separation using the BFKL formalism. We give predictions for both the Non Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) approach to charmonium production and the Color Evaporation Model. In NRQCD, we find that the S 1 part of the onium wavefunction is completely dominating the process, which makes the presented study ...
متن کاملCharmonium Production at Tevatron, Hera and Lhc *
Charmonia hadro-and photo-production are analyzed in the framework of the color-octet model taking into account higher-order effects induced by initial-state radiation of gluons. We argue that color-octet matrix elements obtained from Tevatron data might be reconciled with those extracted from HERA data on inelastic J/ψ photoproduction. Finally we estimate cross sections for events with muons f...
