Description
The aim of this analysis is to study the process pp-> J/psi + photon + X, in order to understand the production mechanisms of this final state, and possibly to assess some information on the spin structure of the gluon distribution inside the proton. Analysing the subprocess g+g->J/psi + photon there is the prospect of seeing azimuthal modulations in the Collins-Soper frame, induced by the polarization of the gluons. The analysis is using the data collected during Run2 by the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
