相关论文: Probing the gluon TMDs with quarkonia
Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distribution correlators can be parametrized in terms of TMD parton distribution functions (PDFs), or TMDs for short. We provide an overview of the leading-twist quark and gluon TMDs, both in momentum…
Prospects for quarkonium-production studies accessible during the upcoming high-luminosity phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021 are reviewed. Current experimental and theoretical open issues in the field are…
We briefly review several models of heavy quarkonium production in hadronic collisions, and discuss the status of QCD factorization for these production models.
Quarkonium has long been proposed as one of the golden probes to identify the phase transition from confined hadronic matter to the deconfined quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions. Since then, we have achieved a better understanding,…
I briefly review some recent results on soft-gluon resummation and present applications to heavy-quark and jet production in hadron collisions.
We study the transverse-momentum spectrum of quarkonium production from single light-parton fragmentation mechanism. In the case of semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, we observe that there are two possible initiating processes,…
In this paper hadroproduction of charmonium states in polarized pp collisions is discussed. A thermal picture for the gluonic cloud of comovers is given making contact between the formalism and the measured unpolarized cross sections. The…
Exclusive quarkonium photo- and electro-production off the nucleon is studied in the framework of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). The short distance part of the process is treated at leading order in perturbative Quantum…
Inclusive and exclusive production of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons via gluon-gluon fusion is considered. A new experimental test is proposed, which can probe the polarization state of the gluons in exclusive production processes and check…
The theoretical status of squark and gluino production at present and future hadron colliders is reviewed. I shall concentrate on the evaluation of SUSY-QCD corrections to the production cross sections and their phenomenological…
We investigate the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) quark and gluon distribution functions in the modified chiral quark model ($\chi QM$). Calculations of the TMD quark and gluon densities, using the modified $\chi QM$ are done for the…
The goal of this section is to assess the possibility that quarkonium production rates may be enhanced in nucleus-nucleus interactions at the LHC relative to that predicted by extrapolation of processes thought to be dominant at lower…
We review the theoretical status of squark and gluino hadroproduction and provide numerical predictions for all squark and gluino pair-production processes at the Tevatron and at the LHC, with a particular emphasis on proton-proton…
We calculate polarization asymmetries in photoproduction of high transverse momentum mesons, focusing on charged pions, considering the direct, fragmentation, and resolved photon processes. The results at very high meson momentum measure…
As a stringent test of the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach for inclusive heavy-quarkonium production in high-energy hadron collision, the polarized heavy-quarkonium production at the Tevatron is discussed. The polarization of…
Being the "mother distributions" of all types of two-parton correlation functions, generalized transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (GTMDs) have attracted a lot of attention over the last years. We argue that exclusive double…
In this paper we propose an approach which demonstrates the dependence of quarkoni production on the multiplicity of the accompanying hadrons. Our approach is based on the three gluons fusion mechanism, without assuming the multiplicity…
Signatures of dominant and central production of glueballs (binary gluonic mesons) in heavy ion and hadromic collisions are discussed. Search strategies are proposed.
We argue that the study of heavy quarkonia, in particular that of $\Upsilon$, produced back-to-back with an isolated photon in $pp$ collisions at the LHC is the best --and currently unique-- way to access the distribution of both the…
The polarization of quarkonium states produced in hadron collisions exhibits strong non-perturbative effects - for example, at small transverse momentum $p_t$ charmonia appear unpolarized, in sharp contradiction to the predictions of…
