J/Psi production, chi polarization and color fluctuations

  • The hard contributions to the heavy quarkonium-nucleon cross sections are calculated based on the QCD factorization theorem and the nonrelativistic quarkonium model. We evaluate the nonperturbative part of these cross sections which dominates at psNN 20 GeV at the Cern Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and becomes a correction at psNN 6 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). J/psi production at the CERN SPS is well described by hard QCD, when the larger absorption cross sections of the states predicted by QCD are taken into account. We predict an A-dependent polarization of the states. The expansion of small wave packets is discussed.
