Investigating charmonium production at LHC with the p pbar final state    [PDF]

Sergey Barsuk, Jibo He, Emi Kou, Benoit Viaud

We propose to investigate various charmonium states using their common decay
channel to p pbar at LHC. Having the branching ratios for charmonium decaying
into the p pbar final state measured or calculated, we propose to measure the
charmonium production rate for both hadroproduction including soft-diffraction
and inclusive production from b-hadron decays. We discuss the theoretical
impacts in QCD of measuring different charmonium production rates and also the
experimental prospects at LHCb, in particular, those for yet unmeasured eta_c
and h_c.
