$\Upsilon$ Polarization at HERA-$B$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The production of Υ\Upsilon mesons in fixed target pNpN collisions is considered. It is shown that Non-Relativistic QCD predicts Υ\Upsilon states to be produced with sizeable transverse polarization. The possibility of a measurement of the Υ\Upsilon polarization at the HERA-BB experiment is discussed.
