Description
We present the cross sections for both electromagnetic and diffractive dissociation of protons for semiexclusive production of J/ψ mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
Differential distributions in missing mass (MX), or single-particle variables related exclusively to the J/ψ meson are calculated for s√ = 7 TeV and 13 TeV.. We compare the distributions for purely electromagnetic and purely diffractive proton excitations/dissociation. We predict cross sections for electromagnetic and diffractive excitations of similar order of magnitude.
The talk is based on
