A consistent πͺ(v2) NRQCD description of decays and high-PT prompt production of charmonia
Abstract
We present a global determination of the six long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) within non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) appearing in the production of prompt J/Ο up to πͺ(v2) using high-PT LHC data for direct and feed-down contributions from Οc and Ο(2S). Using a leading-power fragmentation framework at NLO+NLL, we fit $Ο(2S)/J/Ο$ yield ratios from ATLAS and CMS and Ο(2S) CMS polarization data at βs = 13 TeV, injecting one decay width per charmonium. The fit LDMEs provide excellent predictions of the CMS and ATLAS cross-section data up to PT=360 GeV for the J/Ο, as well as the J/Ο polarization data from CMS. The obtained excellent agreement with production and decay data demonstrates that πͺ(v2) NRQCD is sufficient to describe J/Ο, Ο(2S), and Οc hadroproduction at large PT.
