Abstract

We study the production of a prompt J/psi meson in association with a prompt photon in ep deep-inelastic scattering within the factorisation formalism of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) and demonstrate that this process provides a clean probe of the colour-octet mechanism at DESY HERA. Our analysis is based on an updated set of non-perturbative NRQCD matrix elements obtained through a joint fit to data on charmonium inclusive hadroproduction from runs I and II at the Fermilab Tevatron.
