ηc′ hadroproduction at next-to-leading order and its relevance to ψ′ production

We proceed to the first phenomenological study of ηc′ prompt hadroproduction at next-to-leading order in αs. Based on heavy-quark-spin symmetry, which is systematically used in quarkonium-production phenomenology, we demonstrate that prompt ηc′ can be studied at the LHC with the existing data. We em...
