Perspectives on heavy-quarkonium production at the LHC

Abstract

We summarise the perspectives on heavy-quarkonium production at the LHC, both for proton-proton and heavy-ion runs, as emanating from the round table held at the HLPW 2008 Conference. The main topics are: present experimental and theoretical knowledge, experimental capabilities, open questions, recent theoretical advances and potentialities linked to some new observables.

Summary of the round table on quarkonium production held at the Joint Meeting Heidelberg-Liege-Paris-Wroclaw: Three Days of Strong Interactions and Astrophysics (HLPW08), Spa, Liege, Belgium, 6-8 March 2008. 30 pages, 12 figures, LaTeX, uses aip-6s.clo, aipproc.cls and aipxfm.sty (included)
