Title: Production and polarization of prompt J / ψ in the improved color evaporation model using the k T -factorization approach

Abstract

We calculate the polarization of prompt $$J/{\psi}$$ production in the improved color evaporation model at leading order employing the $${k}_{T}$$-factorization approach. In this paper, we present the polarization parameter $${{\lambda}}_{{\vartheta}}$$ of prompt $$J/{\psi}$$ as a function of transverse momentum in $p+p$ and $p+A$ collisions to compare with data in the helicity, Collins-Soper and Gottfried-Jackson frames. We also present calculations of the charmonium production cross sections as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum. This is the first $${p}_{T}$$-dependent calculation of charmonium polarization in the improved color evaporation model. We find agreement with both charmonium cross sections and polarization measurements.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: The orientation of polarization axis (z axis) in the helicity frame is indicated by the dashed arrow. The proton arrows indicate the incoming beam directions. The polarization axis is defined to be the direction of the produced ($\mathcal{Q}$) travels in the center-of-mass frame of the colliding beams. Ifmore » the quarks in the $Q\bar{Q̄}$ pair with total angular momentum $J$ = 1, they can either have the same angular momentum along the $z$ axis, $J_{z}$, or opposite resulting in $J_{z}$ = 0 (longitudinal) or $J_{z}$ = 1 (transverse), respectively.« less
