Central exclusive χc,b production at high energy colliders and gluon saturation approach

The central exclusive production of χc and χb at the LHC, RHIC and Tevatron energies is analyzed, using the recent unintegrated parton distribution (UGDs) functions available in the package TMDlib. Comparison with data is performed, which tests the underlying assumptions basing the theoretical appro...
