Production of f0(980) meson at the LHC: Color evaporation versus color-singlet gluon-gluon fusion

The production of the f0(980) meson at high energies is not well understood. We investigate two different potential mechanisms for inclusive scalar meson production in the kt-factorization approach: color-singlet gluon-gluon fusion and color evaporation model. The γ⁎γ⁎→f0(980) form factor(s) can be...
