Parallel Session B: TMD theory: quarkonium
- Laurent Favart (Université Libre de Bruxelles)
We present the discovery potential of pseudoscalar quarkonium production in hadronic collisions to access gluon TMD PDFs. In particular, we explore the phenomenology of the unpolarized and linearly polarized gluon TMD PDF in unpolarized collisions for different kinematic settings, and the potential of a fixed-target experiment at the LHC to access T-odd distributions such as the gluon Sivers TMD PDF.
We continue the investigation of the problem of negative NLO cross sections of heavy quarkonium production at high collision energies, started in [1]. The problem arises due to unphysical behaviour of the high partonic energy asymptotics of NLO partonic coefficient function in collinear factorisation, which can be cured via matching of the NLO calculation with Leading-Logarithmic resummation...
