Abstract

The vector meson production in coherent hadron-hadron interactions at LHC energies is studied assuming that the color singlet tt-channel exchange carries large momentum transfer. We consider the non-forward solution of the BFKL equation at high energy and large momentum transfer and estimate the rapidity distribution and total cross section for the process h1h2h1J/ΨXh_1 h_2 \to h_1 J/\Psi X, where hih_i can be a proton or a nucleus. We predict large rates, which implies that the experimental identification can be feasible at the LHC.
