TLDR
In this article, a study of the event shapes of different types of gamma gamma processes in the PYTHIA program was conducted, and it was concluded that (74 +/- 22)% of the observed J/psi events are due to resolved photons, most probably due to the gluon content of the photon.
Abstract
Inclusive J/psi production in photon-photon collisions has been observed at LEP II beam energies. A clear signal from the reaction gamma gamma -> J/psi+X is seen. The number of observed N(J/psi -> mu+mu-) events is 36 +/- 7 for an integrated luminosity of 617 pb^{-1}, yielding a cross-section of sigma(J/psi+X) = 45 +/- 9 (stat) +/- 17 (syst) pb. Based on a study of the event shapes of different types of gamma gamma processes in the PYTHIA program, we conclude that (74 +/- 22)% of the observed J/psi events are due to `resolved' photons, the dominant contribution of which is most probably due to the gluon content of the photon.

Heavy quarkonium: progress, puzzles, and opportunities

Nora Brambilla, +69 more
TL;DR: The early years of this period were chronicled in the Quarkonium Working Group (QWG) CERN Yellow Report (YR) in 2004, which presented a comprehensive review of the status of the field at that time and provided specific recommendations for further progress as mentioned in this paper.

QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

Nora Brambilla, +53 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment, are highlighted, highlighting how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

On the mechanisms of heavy-quarkonium hadroproduction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the various mechanisms potentially at work in hadroproduction of heavy quarkonia in the light of computations of higher-order QCD corrections both in the colour-singlet (CS) and colour-octet (CO) channels and the inclusion of the contribution arising from the s-channel cut in the CS channel.
