Abstract: (Springer)
We study the prompt production of the and mesons at high energies. Unlike production, mesons cannot be created at LO via the fusion of two on-mass-shell gluons, that is, are not allowed. However, the available experimental data show that the cross sections for and are comparable. We therefore investigate four other production mechanisms: namely, (i) the standard NLO process , (ii) via gluon virtuality, (iii) via gluon reggeisation and, finally, (iv) the possibility to form by the fusion of three gluons, where one extra gluon comes from another parton cascade, as in the Double Parton Scattering processes.Note:
