Probing TMDs in heavy quarkonium production in $pp$ collision

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-10-19 v1

Abstract

We present a recent calculation of J/ψJ/\psi and Υ\Upsilon production in unpolarized pppp collision and show that this can be used to probe the unpolarized gluon as well as the linearly polarized gluon transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs). We use the color evaporation model for the heavy quarkonium production and use a generalized factorized form of the cross section. We compare the results with experimental data.
