abstract

We analyze the first measurement of $\eta_c$ production, performed by the LHCb Collaboration, in the nonrelativistic-QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong-coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the relative velocity $v$ of the bound quarks including the feeddown from $h_c$ mesons. Converting the long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) extracted by various groups from $J/\psi$ yield and polarization data to the $\eta_c$ case using heavy-quark spin symmetry, we find that the resulting NLO NRQCD predictions greatly overshoot the LHCb data, while the color-singlet model provides an excellent description.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    First NNLO QCD short-distance coefficients for the ³S₁⁽⁸⁾ gluon fragmentation function are obtained numerically to high precision, with analytic endpoint logarithms reconstructed for threshold resummation.

  3. How well does nonrelativistic QCD factorization work at next-to-leading order?

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single set of NRQCD color-octet matrix elements fitted to LHC J/psi and eta_c data predicts a wide range of quarkonium observables, including Upsilon(3S) production and low-momentum photoproduction, with residual fa...

  4. Double heavy quarkonia production with color-octet channels at Z factory and at the CEPC/FCC-ee

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Color-octet channels are predicted to dominate many double heavy quarkonium production processes at future Z factories, with relativistic corrections suppressing charmonium rates by roughly a factor of two.
