We present measurements of the polarization of the $ J/psi $ produced in 800-GeV proton interactions with a copper target. Polarization of the $ J/psi $ is sensitive to the $ c bar{c} $ production and hadronization processes. A longitudinal polarization is observed at large $ x_{F} $, while at small $ x_{F} $ the state is produced essentially unpolarized or slightly transversely polarized. No significant variation of the polarization is observed versus $ p_{T} $.

We report on a polarization measurement of inclusive $J/psi$ mesons in the di-electron decay channel at mid-rapidity at 2 $<p_{T}<$ 6 GeV/$c$ in $p+p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV. Data were taken with the STAR detector at RHIC. The $J/psi$ polarization measurement should help to distinguish between different models of the $J/psi$ production mechanism since they predict different $p_{T}$ dependences of the $J/psi$ polarization. In this analysis, $J/psi$ polarization is studied in the helicity frame. The polarization parameter $lambda_{theta}$ measured at RHIC becomes smaller towards high $p_{T}$, indicating more longitudinal $J/psi$ polarization as $p_{T}$ increases. The result is compared with predictions of presently available models.
Yields for J/psi production in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt (s_NN)= 200 GeV have been measured by the PHENIX experiment over the rapidity range |y| < 2.2 at transverse momenta from 0 to beyond 5 GeV/c. The invariant yield is obtained as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality, and compared with results in p+p and Au+Au collisions at the same energy. The Cu+Cu data provide greatly improved precision over existing Au+Au data for J/psi production in collisions with small to intermediate numbers of participants, providing a key constraint that is needed for disentangling cold and hot nuclear matter effects.
We report on new measurements of inclusive J/$psi$ polarization at mid-rapidity in p+p collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The polarization parameters, $lambda_theta$, $lambda_phi$, and $lambda_{thetaphi}$, are measured as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) in both the Helicity and Collins-Soper (CS) reference frames within $p_T< 10$ GeV/$C$. Except for $lambda_theta$ in the CS frame at the highest measured $p_T$, all three polarization parameters are consistent with 0 in both reference frames without any strong $p_T$ dependence. Several model calculations are compared with data, and the one using the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory coupled with non-relativistic QCD gives the best overall description of the experimental results, even though other models cannot be ruled out due to experimental uncertainties.
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured the differential cross section, mean transverse momentum, mean transverse momentum squared of inclusive $J/psi$ and cross-section ratio of $psi(2S)$ to $J/psi$ at forward rapidity in pp collisions at sqrts = 510 GeV via the dimuon decay channel. Comparison is made to inclusive $J/psi$ cross sections measured at sqrts = 200 GeV and 2.76--13 TeV. The result is also compared to leading-order nonrelativistic QCD calculations coupled to a color-glass-condensate description of the low-$x$ gluons in the proton at low transverse momentum ($p_T$) and to next-to-leading order nonrelativistic QCD calculations for the rest of the $p_T$ range. These calculations overestimate the data at low $p_T$. While consistent with the data within uncertainties above $approx3$ GeV/$c$, the calculations are systematically below the data. The total cross section times the branching ratio is BR $dsigma^{J/psi}_{pp}/dy (1.2<|y|<2.2, 0<p_T<10~mbox{GeV/$c$}) =$ 54.3 $pm$ 0.5 (stat) $pm$ 5.5 (syst) nb.
An amplitude analysis of flavour-untagged $B_s^0 to J/psi p bar{p}$ decays is performed using a sample of $797pm31$ decays reconstructed with the LHCb detector. The data, collected in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9 $text{fb}^{-1}$. Evidence for a new structure in the $J/psi p$ and $J/psi bar{p}$ systems with a mass of $4337 ^{+7}_{-4} ^{+2}_{-2}~text{MeV}$ and a width of $29 ^{+26}_{-12} ^{+14}_{-14}~text{MeV}$ is found, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, with a significance in the range of 3.1 to 3.7 $sigma$, depending on the assigned $J^P$ hypothesis.
