abstract

We present a perturbative QCD factorization formalism for the production of heavy quarkonia of large transverse momentum $p_T$ at collider energies, which includes both the leading power (LP) and next-to-leading power (NLP) contributions to the cross section in the $m_Q^2/p_T^2$ expansion for heavy quark mass $m_Q$. We estimate fragmentation functions in the non-relativistic QCD formalism, and reproduce the bulk of the large enhancement found in explicit NLO calculations in the color singlet model. Heavy quarkonia produced from NLP channels prefer longitudinal polarization.

    Factorizes NRQCD production matrix elements for S- and P-wave quarkonia into wavefunctions and universal chromo-electric/magnetic gluon correlators via hybrid vNRQCD/pNRQCD and Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation at leading velocity order.
