Heavy flavour production in the forward acceptance at the LHC

Talk 2) Quarks and gluons in hadrons, the hadron spectrum

Speaker

TBA (LHCb)

Description

Its forward acceptance puts the LHCb in a unique position at the LHC to measure QCD phenomena at large rapidities and low transverse momenta, where theoretical models often fail to describe the data accurately. We present studies of the production and polarisation of the J/ψ, ψ(2S) and χc charmonium states as well as those of ϒ and χb bottomonia.
