On the mechanisms of heavy-quarkonium hadroproduction

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-07-28 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We discuss the various mechanisms potentially at work in hadroproduction of heavy quarkonia in the light of computations of higher-order QCD corrections both in the Colour-Singlet (CS) and Colour-Octet (CO) channels and the inclusion of the contribution arising from the s-channel cut in the CS channel. We also discuss new observables meant to better discriminate between these different mechanisms.
