Exclusive production of quarkonia pairs in collinear factorization framework

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the exclusive photoproduction of heavy quarkonia pairs in the collinear factorization framework. We evaluate the amplitude of the process for $J/\psi -{\eta }_c$ quarkonia pair in the leading order of the strong coupling ${\alpha }_s,$ and express it in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of gluons in the proton. We made numerical estimates in the kinematics of the Electron Ion Collider, and found that in the photoproduction regime, when the virtuality of the photon is much smaller than the quarkonia mass, the cross-section of the process is sufficiently large for experimental studies. We demonstrate that the study of this channel can complement existing studies of gluon GPDs from other channels.
