Title: Production and polarization of prompt ϒ ( n S ) in the improved color evaporation model using the k T -factorization approach

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D.

We calculate the polarization of prompt $$\Upsilon$$($$nS$) production in the improved color evaporation model at leading order employing the $$k_T$$-factorization approach. Here, we present the polarization parameter λ$$_{\vartheta}$$ of prompt $$\Upsilon$$($$nS$) as a function of transverse momentum in $$p$$ + $$p$$ and $$p$$ + $$\bar{p}$$ collisions to compare with data in the helicity, Collins-Soper and Gottfried-Jackson frames. We also present calculations of the bottomonium production cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. This is the first $$p_T$$ -dependent calculation of bottomonium production and polarization in the improved color evaporation model. We find agreement with both bottomonium cross sections and polarization measurements.
