Incoherent J/ψ production at large |t| identifies the onset of saturation at the LHC

We predict that the onset of gluon saturation can be uniquely identified using incoherent J/ψ production in Pb–Pb collisions at currently accessible energies of the LHC. The diffractive incoherent photo-production of a J/ψ vector meson off a hadron provides information on the partonic structure of t...
