Abstract:The production of a quarkonium -pair in exclusive and diffractive processes in pp collisions at the LHC and FCC energies is investigated. We consider the J/ΨJ/Ψ and ΥΥ production in these processes and present predictions for the transverse momentum and rapidity distributions considering the kinematical ranges expected to be covered by central and forward detectors. Results for the cross sections are also presented. Our results indicate that the double J/Ψ production is dominated by the exclusive process, whil… Show more
“…A selection of recent results on forward and central quarkonium production in (ultra-peripheral) hadron and lepton-hadron collisions can be found in Refs. [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131]. Combining the information coming from single-forward emissions of quarkonia with the one encoded in single-forward detections of light vector mesons [132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141] and in the forward Drell-Yan di-lepton reaction [142][143][144] will permits us to perform an extensive scan of the intersection kinematic range between TMD and high-energy dynamics.…”
We investigate the inclusive hadroproduction of a heavy quarkonium (J/ψ or Υ), in association with a light-flavored jet, as a testing ground for the semi-hard regime of QCD. Our theoretical setup is the hybrid high-energy and collinear factorization, where the standard collinear approach is supplemented by the t-channel resummation of leading and next-to-leading energy logarithms à la BFKL. We present predictions for rapidity and azimuthal-angle differential distributions, hunting for stabilizing effects of the high-energy series under higher-order corrections. Our reaction represents an additional channel to test the production mechanisms of quarkonia at high energies and large transverse momenta and to possibly shed light on the transition region from heavy-quark pair production to single-parton fragmentation of J/ψ and Υ states.

“…Some recent results on forward and central quarkonium production in (ultra-peripheral) hadron and lepton-hadron scatterings can be found in Refs. [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142].

In this review, we discuss and extend the study of the inclusive production of vector quarkonia, J/ψ and Υ, emitted with large transverse momenta and rapidities at the LHC. We adopt the novel ZCW19+ determination of fragmentation functions to depict the quarkonium production mechanism at the next-to-leading level of perturbative QCD. This approach is based on the nonrelativistic QCD formalism well adapted to describe the formation of a quarkonium state from the collinear fragmentation of a gluon or a constituent heavy quark at the lowest energy scale. We rely upon the NLL/NLO+ hybrid high-energy and collinear factorization for differential cross-sections, where the collinear formalism is enhanced by the BFKL resummation of next-to-leading energy logarithms arising in the t-channel. We employ the method to analyze the behavior of the rapidity distributions for double-inclusive vector quarkonium and inclusive vector quarkonium plus jet emissions. We discover that the natural stability of the high-energy series, previously seen in observables sensitive to the emission of hadrons with heavy flavor detected in the rapidity acceptance of LHC barrel calorimeters, becomes even more manifest when these particles are tagged in forward regions covered by endcaps. Our findings present the important message that vector quarkonia at the LHC via hybrid factorization offer a unique chance to perform precision studies of high-energy QCD, as well as an intriguing opportunity to shed light on the quarkonium production puzzle.
“…For instance, Gonçalves presented a systematical analysis of exclusive production of vector mesons in hadronic collisions in Refs. [33][34][35][36][37], where the predictions for transverse momentum and rapidity distributions considering different phenomenological models were estimated. Machado et al studied the inclusive and exclusive J/ψ, ψ(2S), and Υ photoproductions in the proton-nucleus and nucleusnucleus collisions at LHC within the color dipole formalism [38][39][40][41].…”
The inelastic charmonium (J/ψ, ψ(2S), ηc, hc and χcJ ) and bottomonium (Υ(nS), η b , h b , and χ bJ ) photoproductions in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies are studied, where the fragmentation processes are included. Based on the factorization formalism of non-relativistic QCD, an exact treatment is developed, which can weight the contribution from different channels and recovers the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation (WWA) near the region Q 2 ∼ 0. The relevant kinematical relations are also achieved. We present a comprehensive analysis for the properties of WWA in heavy-ion collisions, and discuss the contribution of inelastic photoproduction processes to the heavy quarkonium production. The Q 2 -, y-, √ s-, and pT -dependent cross sections, and the total cross sections are estimated. It is shown that the inelastic photoproduction and fragmentation processes can provide the evident modification to the heavy quarkonium production in p-p and P b-P b collisions at LHC energies, where the ultra-incoherent photon emission plays a very important role. Moreover, the WWA is only effective in very restricted domains, and the exact treatment can naturally avoid double counting and WWA errors.
