abstract

The comparison of $J/\psi$ photoproduction data in the inelastic region with theoretical predictions based on the NRQCD approach has remained somewhat ambiguous and controversial, in particular at large values of the inelasticity variable $z$. We study the polar and azimuthal decay angular distribution of $J/\psi$ mesons as functions of $z$ and transverse momentum $p_t$. Future measurements of decay angular distributions at the HERA $ep$ collider will provide a new test of theoretical approaches to factorisation between perturbation theory and quarkonium bound-state dynamics and shed light on the colour-octet production fraction in various regions of $z$ and $p_t$.

    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 l...

  2. The role of the soft scale for $J/\psi$ production in the transverse momentum dependent framework

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives new TMD soft transition functions and shows they dominate J/psi production at small transverse momentum by a factor of 1/v over previously used shape functions.

  3. $\psi(2S)$ production in jets using NRQCD

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Applying NRQCD fragmenting jet functions and gluon-fragmentation-improved Pythia to psi(2S) in jets, the authors find that the LHCb data favor the Bodwin et al. LDME set and expose large tensions with other extractions.
