Upsilonium Polarization as a Touchstone in Understanding the Parton Dynamics in QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-09-23 v1

Abstract

In the framework of the kTk_T-factorization approach, the production of Upsilon mesons at the Fermilab Tevatron is considered, and the comparisions of calculated pTp_T-distributions and spin alignment parameter α\alpha with the D0 experimental data are shown. We argue that measuring the double cross section and the polarization of upsilonium states can serve as a crucial test discriminating two competing theoretical approaches to parton dynamics in QCD.
