Results on quarkonium production and polarization in $pp$ collisions with the CMS detector
Collaboration
CMS
Abstract content
Explaining the production dynamics of conventional quarkonium has been a challenge for nearly 20 years. The state-of-the-art theoretical framework, Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD), nowadays explains relatively well the observed production cross-sections, but it also predicts transverse polarization of the $q\bar{q}$ states at high tranverse momentum, which is not observed. This talk presents the CMS quarkonium production results, in $pp$ collisions, placing emphasis on the most recent measurements, which include the cross-sections and polarizations of all five S-wave states. We will also present new results on P-wave quarkonium production in the bottomonium family.
