The J/psi decay angular distributions have been measured in inelastic photoproduction in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb(-1). The range in photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, W, was 50 < W < 180 GeV. The J/psi mesons were identified through their decay into muon pairs. The polar and azimuthal angles of the mu(+) were measured in the J/psi rest frame and compared to theoretical predictions at leading and next-to-leading order in QCD.

Abstract
The J/psi decay angular distributions have been measured in inelastic photoproduction in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb(-1). The range in photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, W, was 50 < W < 180 GeV. The J/psi mesons were identified through their decay into muon pairs. The polar and azimuthal angles of the mu(+) were measured in the J/psi rest frame and compared to theoretical predictions at leading and next-to-leading order in QCD.
