We study the process $\bar p p \rightarrow J/\psi + \gamma +X$ at the Tevatron energy ($\sqrt{s} = 1.8$~TeV). The perturbative QCD contributions to this process from the gluon-fusion and the fragmentation mechanisms are computed. For the…
We compute the contributions due to gluon and heavy-quark fragmentation to quarkonium production at large transverse momentum in $\bar p p$ and $p p$ collisions. For inclusive $J/\psi$ production, there is a large contribution from the $g…
The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and finite transverse momentum $Q_T$ is dominated by quark-gluon scattering in the region $Q_T > Q/2$. This feature provides a new independent method for constraining the gluon density with…
Protons consist of three valence quarks, two up-quarks and one down-quark, held together by gluons and a sea of quark-antiquark pairs. Collectively, quarks and gluons are referred to as partons. In a proton-proton collision, typically only…
