If one stuck to a comparison at Born level, one would conclude that J/psi+eta(c) production would surpass that of J/psi+J/psi at large P_T. This is nonetheless not the case since J/psi-pair production, as for single J/psi, receives leading-P_T contributions at higher orders in alpha_s. We also present the first evaluation of these leading-P_T next-to-leading order contributions. These are indeed significant for increasing P_T and are of essential relevance for comparison with forthcoming data. We also compute kinematic correlations relevant for double-parton-scattering studies. Finally, we evaluate the polarisation of a J/psi accompanied either by a eta(c) or a J/psi and another light parton. These results may be of great help to understand the polarisation of quarkonia produced at high energies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-09-26T20:51:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.85.Ni", "12.38.Bx", "14.40.Pq" ], "keywords": [ "production", "corrections", "born level", "born cross section", "kinematic correlations relevant" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Sep", "volume": 111, "number": 12, "pages": 122001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1246144, "adsabs": "2013PhRvL.111l2001L" } } }
