Abstract
The low x behavior of the gluon density xg(x,μ2) at scale μ2=2.4 GeV2 is determined using exclusive J/ψ production data from HERA and LHCb within the framework of collinear factorization at next-to-leading order (NLO). It is shown that in the interval 3×10-6<x<10-3 the gluon distribution function grows as xg(x,μ2)x-λ with λ=0.135±0.006. The impact this experimental data will have for the global parton distribution function (PDF) analyses in this low x domain is quantified. No indication in favour of parton density saturation is observed.
