Quarkonium production in coherent hadron-hadron interactions at the CERN
LHC
The photoproduction of quarkonium in coherent hadron-hadron ($pp/pA/AA$) interactions for LHC energies is an important tool to investigate the QCD dynamics at high energies. In this paper we estimate the integrated cross section and rapidity distribution for $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$ production using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) formalism. We predict large rates, implying that the experimental identification could be feasible at the LHC. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
