The analyses of large transverse momentum charmonium production at the Tevatron have shown that fragmentation of gluons is an important production mechanism. We study large-pT charmonium production in pp collisions at the LHC, and find that due to the copious gluon production at this energy, the gluon fragmentation contribution completely overwhelms the fusion contribution and the charm quark fragmentation contribution. Our analysis shows that for J/ψ production at the LHC, there is a significant event rate even for pT ~ 100 GeV. The measurement of the cross-section at such large values of pT will provide a very important test of the fragmentation mechanism.

Inclusive hadro-production in e+e- annihilation processes is examined to study the fragmentation process. A broken SU(3) model is used to determine the quark and gluon fragmentation functions of octet vector mesons, ρ and K*, in a simple way with an SU(3) breaking parameter λ. These are expressed in terms of just two light quark fragmentation functions, V(x, Q2) and γ(x, Q2) and the gluon fragmentation function Dg(x, Q2). These functions are parametrized at the low input scale of [Formula: see text], evolved through LO DGLAP evolution including charm and bottom flavor at appropriate thresholds, and fitted by comparison with data at the Z-pole. The model is extended with the introduction of a few additional parameters to include a study of singlet–octet mixing and hence ω and ϕ fragmentation. The model gives good fits to the available data for x ≳0.01, where x is the scaled energy of the hadron. The model is then applied successfully to ω, ϕ production in pp collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider, RHIC, these data form an important baseline for the study of Quark Gluon Plasma in heavy nucleus collisions at RHIC, and also in future at the LHC.
