Breakdown of QCD Factorization for P-Wave Quarkonium Production at Low Transverse Momentum

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-19 v2

Abstract

Quarkonium production at low transverse momentum in hadron collisions can be used to extract Transverse-Momentum-Dependent(TMD) gluon distribution functions, if TMD factorization holds there. We show that TMD factorization for the case of P-wave quarkonium with JPC=0++,2++J^{PC}=0^{++}, 2^{++} holds at one-loop level, but is violated beyond one-loop level. TMD factorization for other P-wave quarkonium is also violated already at one-loop.
