Inclusive production of vector quarkonia at the LHC
Abstract
We discuss prompt production of mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC within NRQCD k-factorization approach using Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) and Kutak-Stasto (KS) unintegrated gluon distribution (UGDF). We include both direct color-singlet production as well as a feed-down from and . The corresponding matrix elements for , and include parameters of the nonrelativistic space wave functions of the quarkonia at , which are taken from potential models from the literature. We calculate the ratio of the corresponding cross sections for . We compare our results with ATLAS experimental data. Differential distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum of and are calculated and compared to experimental data of the ALICE and LHCb collaborations. We present results for three different values of energy 2.76 TeV, 7 TeV and 13 TeV.
