We calculate the polarization of prompt ϒ(nS) production in the improved color evaporation model at leading order employing the kT-factorization approach. We present the polarization parameter λϑ of prompt ϒ(nS) as a function of transverse momentum in p+p and p+p¯ collisions to compare with data in the helicity, Collins-Soper and Gottfried-Jackson frames. We also present calculations of the bottomonium production cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. This is the first pT-dependent calculation of bottomonium production and polarization in the improved color evaporation model. We find agreement with both bottomonium cross sections and polarization measurements.
