Probing Heavy Quarkonium Production Mechnism: polarization

Hua-Sheng Shao

The necessicity of the color-octet mechanism in describing heavy quarkonium production is a longstanding puzzle. Compared to the yields of heavy quarkonium, its polarizations shoul…

Automated next-to-leading order predictions for new physics at the LHC: the case of colored scalar pair production

Céline Degrande, Benjamin Fuks, Valentin Hirschi +2

We present for the first time the full automation of collider predictions matched with parton showers at the next-to-leading accuracy in QCD within non-trivial extensions of the St…

production at LHC and indications on the understanding of production

Hao Han, Yan-Qing Ma, Ce Meng +2

We present a complete evaluation for the prompt production at the LHC at next-to-leading order in in nonrelativistic QCD. By assuming heavy quark spin symmetry, the rec…

Yields and polarizations of prompt $\jpsi$ and $\psits$ production in hadronic collisions

H. S. Shao, H. Han, Y. Q. Ma +3

We give predictions of $\jpsi$ and $\psits$ yields and polarizations in prompt production at hadron colliders based on non-relativistic QCD factorization formula. We calculate shor…

J/psi-Pair Production at Large Momenta: Indications for Double-Parton Scatterings and Large alpha_s^5 Contributions

Jean-Philippe Lansberg, Hua-Sheng Shao

We demonstrate that the recent studies of J/psi-pair production by CMS at the LHC and by D0 at the Tevatron reveal the presence of different production mechanisms in different kine…

The automated computation of tree-level and next-to-leading order differential cross sections, and their matching to parton shower simulations

J. Alwall, R. Frederix, S. Frixione +7

We discuss the theoretical bases that underpin the automation of the computations of tree-level and next-to-leading order cross sections, of their matching to parton shower simulat…

Initial state radiation effects in inclusive production at B factories

Hua-Sheng Shao

Based on Monte Carlo techniques, we analyze the initial state radiation (ISR) effects in prompt $\jpsi$ inclusive production at B factories. ISR enhances cross section $σ(e^-e^+\to…

Polarizations of and in prompt production at the LHC

Hua-Sheng Shao, Yan-Qing Ma, Kai Wang +1

Prompt production at hadron colliders may provide a unique test for the color-octet mechanism in nonrelativistic QCD. We present an analysis for the polarization observables…
