We estimate the cross section for gamma p -> Upsilon p by two independent methods. First, by studying the corrections to the naive leading-order QCD formula and, second, by using parton-hadron duality. The estimates are in good agreement…

The angular distributions of Upsilon(1S) to mu+ mu- decays are analyzed using a sample of Upsilon(1S) mesons in 2.9 fb^{-1} of data collected at sqrt{s} = 1.96TeV. The results of the one-dimensional angular analysis suggest that Upsilon(1S)…
