Title Measurement of Quarkonium Polarization to Probe QCD at the LHC Author(s) Kn??nz, Valentin Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XVII, 166 p. 74 illus., 37 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note 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 ISBN,Price 9783319499352 Keyword(s) 1.
