Abstract
The cross sections for inelastic photoproduction of J/ψ and ψ′ mesons have been measured in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb<sup>-1</sup> collected in the period 1996-2007. The ψ′ to J/ψ cross section ratio was measured in the range 0.55 &lt; z &lt; 0.9 and 60 &lt; W &lt; 190 GeV as a function of W, z and p<inf>T</inf>. Here W denotes the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, z is the fraction of the incident photon energy carried by the meson and p <inf>T</inf> is the transverse momentum of the meson with respect to the beam axis. The J/ψ cross sections were measured for 0.1 &lt; z &lt; 0.9, 60 &lt; W &lt; 240 GeV and p<inf>T</inf> > 1 GeV. Theoretical predictions within the non-relativistic QCD framework including NLO colour-singlet and colour-octet contributions were compared to the data, as were predictions based on the k <inf>T</inf>-factorisation approach. © 2013 SISSA.
