Quarkonium production at the LHC: A data-driven analysis of remarkably simple experimental patterns

The LHC quarkonium production data reveal a startling observation: the J/ψ, ψ(2S), χc1, χc2 and ϒ(nS) pT-differential cross sections in the central rapidity region are compatible with one universal momentum scaling pattern. Considering also the absence of strong polarizations of directly and indirec...
