The gluon-gluon fusion process gg -> J/psi + c cbar is computed at NLO QCD, with large corrections, nearly unpolarized J/psi, and improved agreement with LHC data, while a normalization gap of about an order of magnitude persists.

abstract
Inelastic photoproduction of $J/\psi$ particles at high energies is one of the processes to determine the gluon distribution in the nucleon. We have calculated the QCD radiative corrections to the color-singlet model of this reaction. They are large at moderate photon energies, but decrease with increasing energies. The cross section and the $J/\psi$ energy spectrum are compared with the available fixed-target photoproduction data and predictions are given for the HERA energy range.
