Abstract The $$\Upsilon (3S)$$Υ(3S) production and polarization at high energies is studied in the framework of $$k_T$$kT-factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for bound states formation and off-shell production amplitudes for hard partonic subprocesses. The transverse momentum dependent (TMD, or unintegrated) gluon densities in a proton were derived from the Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation as well as from the Kimber–Martin–Ryskin (KMR) prescription. Treating the non-perturbative color octet transitions in terms of the multipole radiation theory and taking into account feed-down contributions from radiative $$\chi _b(3P)$$χb(3P) decays, we extract the corresponding non-perturbative matrix elements for $$\Upsilon (3S)$$Υ(3S) and $$\chi _b(3P)$$χb(3P) mesons from a combined fit to $$\Upsilon (3S)$$Υ(3S) transverse momenta distributions measured by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the LHC energies $$\sqrt{s} = 7$$s=7 and 13 TeV and central rapidities. Then we apply the extracted values to describe the CDF and LHCb data on $$\Upsilon (3S)$$Υ(3S) production and to investigate the polarization parameters $$\lambda _\theta $$λθ, $$\lambda _\phi $$λϕ and $$\lambda _{\theta \phi }$$λθϕ, which determine the $$\Upsilon (3S)$$Υ(3S) spin density matrix. Our predictions have a good agreement with the currently available data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

AbstractThe $$\Upsilon (1S)$$ Υ ( 1 S ) meson production and polarization at high energies is studied in the framework of the $$k_T$$ k T -factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for a bound states formation and off-shell production amplitudes for hard partonic subprocesses. The direct production mechanism, feed-down contributions from radiative $$\chi _b(mP)$$ χ b ( m P ) decays and contributions from $$\Upsilon (3S)$$ Υ ( 3 S ) and $$\Upsilon (2S)$$ Υ ( 2 S ) decays are taken into account. The transverse momentum dependent (TMD) gluon densities in a proton were derived from the Ciafaloni–Catani–Fiorani–Marchesini evolution equation and the Kimber-Martin–Ryskin prescription. Treating the non-perturbative color octet transitions in terms of multipole radiation theory, we extract the corresponding non-perturbative matrix elements for $$\Upsilon (1S)$$ Υ ( 1 S ) and $$\chi _b(1P)$$ χ b ( 1 P ) mesons from a combined fit to transverse momenta distributions measured at various LHC experiments. Then we apply the extracted values to investigate the polarization parameters $$\lambda _\theta $$ λ θ , $$\lambda _\phi $$ λ ϕ and $$\lambda _{\theta \phi }$$ λ θ ϕ , which determine the $$\Upsilon (1S)$$ Υ ( 1 S ) spin density matrix. Our predictions have a reasonably good agreement with the currently available Tevatron and LHC data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

The State special primary acceleration measurement standard for gravimetry (GET 190-2019), its composition, principle of operation and basic metrological characteristics are presented. This standard is on the upper level of reference for free-fall acceleration measurements. Its accuracy and reliability were improved as a result of optimisation of the adjustment procedures for measurement systems and its integration within the upgraded systems, units and modern hardware components. A special attention was given to adjusting the corrections applied to measurement results with respect to procedural, physical and technical limitations. The used investigation methods made it possibled to confirm the measurement range of GET 190-2019 and to determine the contributions of main sources of errors and the total value of these errors. The measurement characteristics and GET 90-2019 were confirmed by the results obtained from measurements of the absolute value of the free fall acceleration at the gravimetrical site “Lomonosov-1” and by their collation with the data of different dates obtained from measurements by high-precision foreign and domestic gravimeters. Topicality of such measurements ensues from the requirements to handle the applied problems that need data on parameters of the Earth gravitational field, to be adequately faced. Geophysics and navigation are the main fields of application for high-precision measurements in this field.
