{"product_id":"9783319499345","title":"Measurement of Quarkonium Polarization to Probe QCD at the LHC","description":"This thesis discusses in detail the measurement of the polarizations of all S-wave vector quarkonium states in LHC proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector. Heavy quarkonium states constitute an ideal laboratory to study non-perturbative effects of quantum chromodynamics and to understand how quarks bind into hadrons.The experimental results are interpreted through an original phenomenological approach, which leads to a coherent picture of quarkonium production cross sections and polarizations within a simple model, dominated by one single color-octet production mechanism. These findings provide new insights into the dynamics of heavy quarkonium production at the LHC, an important step towards a satisfactory understanding of hadron formation within the standard model of particle physics.","brand":"Valentin Knünz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595895914814,"sku":"9783319499345","price":1931.07,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783319499345.jpg?v=1707707884","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783319499345","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
