Abstract
We study J/psi photoproduction via the fusion and fragmentation mechanisms at the HERA Collider within the frameworks of the collinear parton model and the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics approach using the factorization formalism of non-relativistic QCD at leading order in the strong-coupling constant alpha_s and the relative velocity v of the bound quarks. It is shown that the fusion production mechanism dominates over the fragmentation production mechanism at the all relevant J/psi transverse momenta. The J/psi meson p_T-spectra in the fragmentation and fusion production at the asymptotically large p_T have equal slopes in the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics approach, oppocite the collinear parton model.
