Abstract
The associated production of a J/psi and a photon in photon-hadron col lisions is considered and shown to be a good probe of the presence of color-octet-mediated channels in quarkonia production, as predicted by the factorization approach within NRQCD. Total and differential cross sections for photoproduction at fixed target experiments and at DESY HERA are presented. Associated J/psi + gamma production st hadron coll iders is briefly discussed.
