摘要
We analyze the inclusive prompt production of psi', chi(c), J/psi and LHC mesons at the LHC using the k(T)-factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the off-shell production amplitudes for hard partonic subprocesses, nonrelativistic QCD formalism for the formation of bound states and transverse momentum dependent (or unintegrated) gluon densities in a proton derived from Catani-Ciafaloni-FioraniMarchesini equation. The nonperturbative color octet transitions are treated in terms of the multipole radiation theory. We extract the corresponding long-distance matrix elements from a combined fit to transverse momentum distributions measured at various LHC experiments. We make predictions for the polarization parameters lambda(theta), lambda(phi), lambda(theta phi) and the frame-independent parameter lambda* and compare them to the available psi' and J/psi, data. Finally, we present a universal set of parameters that provides a reasonable simultaneous description for the whole body of the LHC data (on the p(T) distributions, relative production rates and polarization observables) for the whole charmonium family.
