Scientific paper
Measurements of production cross sections and polarizations are essential inputs for a theoretical understanding of heavy vector meson production. In this article the CDF measurement of the Y(1S) polarization in the kinematic range |y|<0.6 and 2 < pT [GeV/c] < 40 using a data sample of 2.9/fb is described. Compared to the CDF Run I measurement, with which it agrees, it extends the covered pT range, allowing for a better comparison to predictions in the perturbative regime. The observed trend towards longitudinal polarization at high transverse momentum disagrees with predictions based on non-relativistic QCD.
