An overview will be given of recent experimental results on quarkonium production at the LHC, both inclusive and in association with other particles, such as W, Z bosons or another quarkonium. The challenges of making such measurements will be highlighted, and possible applications for extracting gluon TMDs will be discussed.
Quarkonium production has been advertised as a tool to probe the gluon TMDs. Among the eight gluon TMDs, gluon Sivers function has been receiving paramount of interest both theoretically and experimentally. We study the single-spin asymmetry (SSA) in proton-proton collision process in $J/\psi$ production by employing the generalized parton model (GPM), and compare SSA with PHENIX data. We...
We discuss resummation of large logarithms in heavy quarkonium production cross sections. Due to the nonrelativistic nature of heavy quarkonium states, nonperturbative matrix elements of heavy quarkonia can involve singular distributions. In such cases, standard methods of solving evolution equations can lead to nonconverging integrals or series. We discuss methods to overcome these...
