abstract
We perform a complete study on the $J/\psi$ pair hadroproduction at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the nonrelativstic-QCD (NRQCD) framework with the pair of $c\bar{c}$ either in ${}^{3}S_1^{[1]}$ or ${}^{1}S_0^{[8]}$ fock state. It is found that the ${}^{1}S_0^{[8]}$ channel contribution at NLO is essential. Our results indicate that for the CMS, the NRQCD predictions can not describe the experimental data at all, and the total cross section predicted by NRQCD is smaller than the experimental data by an order of magnitude. So new mechanisms are needed to understand the CMS data for $J/\psi$ pair production.

Probing Heavy-Quark Spin Symmetry in Double $J/\psi$ Hadroproduction
A complete O(alpha_s^5) NRQCD calculation for prompt J/psi pair hadroproduction finds LHC data fix one combination of color-octet LDMEs, yielding a set that tests heavy-quark spin symmetry via eta_c data.
