Abstract

Based on the non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism, the polarization parameters λθϕ\lambda_{\theta\phi} and λϕ\lambda_{\phi} of J/ψJ/\psi hadroproduction are analyzed in helicity frame and calculated at QCD next-to-leading order for the first time. For prompt J/ψJ/\psi production, we take into account the feeddown contributions from χcJ\chi_{cJ} and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) decays. The theoretical predictions for the polarization parameters λθϕ\lambda_{\theta\phi} and λϕ\lambda_{\phi} of J/ψJ/\psi are presented. With the theoretical results we have done the fit to the experimental measurements on yield and polarization for J/ψJ/\psi hadroproduction simultaneously, and found that the results are coincide with the experimental measurements at the LHC quite well.
