Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 166 pages, 37 black & white illustrations, 37 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHM; PHQ; PHS; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 444.
This thesis discusses in detail the measurement of the polarizations of all S-wave vector quarkonium states in LHC proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector. Heavy quarkonium states constitute an ideal laboratory to study non-perturbative effects of quantum chromodynamics and to understand how quarks bind into hadrons.
The experimental results are interpreted through an original phenomenological approach, which leads to a coherent picture of quarkonium production cross sections and polarizations within a simple model, dominated by one single color-octet production mechanism. These findings provide new insights into the dynamics of heavy quarkonium production at the LHC, an important step towards a ... Read more
