Implications of exclusive $J\mathrm{/}\psi$ photoproduction in a tamed collinear factorisation approach to NLO

We discuss exclusive $J\mathrm{/}\psi$ photoproduction, initially in conventional collinear factorisation at NLO and then subsequently in a refined approach with a programme of low $x$ resummation and implementation of a crucial low $Q_0$ subtraction included. We compare and contrast predictions in both frameworks and remark about the possibility to constrain and ultimately determine the low $x$ and low scale gluon PDF, emphasising the significance of this for future global PDF analyses.
