Exclusive vector meson photoproduction at the LHC and a future circular collider : A closer look on the final state

Da Silveira, G. Gil ; Gonçalves, V. P. LU and Jaime, M. M. (2017) In Physical Review D 95(3).
Abstract

Over the past years, the LHC experiments have reported experimental evidence for processes associated to photon-photon and photon-hadron interactions, showing their potential to investigate the production of low- and high-mass systems in exclusive events. In the particular case of the photoproduction of vector mesons, the experimental study of this final state is expected to shed light on the description of the QCD dynamics at small values of the Bjorken-x variable. In this paper, we extend previous studies for the exclusive J/Ψ and photoproduction in pp collisions based on the nonlinear QCD dynamics by performing a detailed study of the final-state distributions that can be measured experimentally at the LHC and at a future circular...

Over the past years, the LHC experiments have reported experimental evidence for processes associated to photon-photon and photon-hadron interactions, showing their potential to investigate the production of low- and high-mass systems in exclusive events. In the particular case of the photoproduction of vector mesons, the experimental study of this final state is expected to shed light on the description of the QCD dynamics at small values of the Bjorken-x variable. In this paper, we extend previous studies for the exclusive J/Ψ and photoproduction in pp collisions based on the nonlinear QCD dynamics by performing a detailed study of the final-state distributions that can be measured experimentally at the LHC and at a future circular collider. Predictions for the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the vector mesons and of final-state dimuons are presented for pp collisions at s=7, 13, and 100 TeV.
