Description
We identify a new way of pinpointing the presence of saturation effects in the LHC data by looking at incoherent J/ψ production at large |t|. We use an energy-dependent hotspot model to show that saturation effects are manifested through a fall-off of the incoherent vector meson production cross section. This fall-off comes from the reduced variance of possible target configurations due to parton overlap at Mandelstam-t scales, where individual hotspots become important.
