The exclusive J/psi process at the LHC tamed to probe the low x gluon
read the original abstract
The perturbative QCD expansion for $J/\psi$ photoproduction appears to be unstable: the NLO correction is large (and of opposite sign) to the LO contribution. Moreover, the predictions are very sensitive to the choice of factorization and renormalization scales. Here we show that perturbative stability is greatly improved by imposing a $`Q_0$ cut' on the NLO coefficient functions; a cut which is required to avoid double counting. $Q_0$ is the input scale used in the parton DGLAP evolution. This result opens the possibility of high precision exclusive $J/\psi$ data in the forward direction at the LHC being able to determine the low $x$ gluon distribution at low scales.

Relativistic corrections and high-energy resummation for exclusive heavy quarkonium photoproduction
The O(v²) correction to the high-energy-resummed coefficient function for exclusive heavy-quarkonium photoproduction is derived and shown to be small but useful for stabilizing μ_F dependence.
