Charmonium + Light Hadron Cross Sections

چکیده
In this contribution we summarize experimental information and theoretical results for the dissociation cross sections of charmonium by light hadrons. Theoretical predictions for these RHIC-related processes differ by orders of magnitude over the physically relevant energy range. The results found by the author and collaborators using a constituent interchange model, which predicts cross sections in the mb region near threshold, are discussed in more detail.

We suggest the ratio of the ψ′′(3770)/ψ′(3686) production cross sections as an unambiguous probe of the dominance of hard, pointlike physics in charmonium production. If hard physics dominates the charmonium production the ratio : σ(ψ ) σ(ψ) ≈ Γ(ψ→ll) Γ(ψ′→l+l−) ≈ 0.1 is independent of the process. We argue that since the dominant DD̄ decay mode of the ψ′′-meson can be detected with a high effic...
متن کاملCharmonium and open charm production in nuclear collisions at SPS/FAIR energies and the possible influence of a hot hadronic medium
We provide predictions for charmonium and open charm production in nuclear collisions at SPS/FAIR energies within the framework of the statistical hadronization model. The increasing importance at lower energies of Λc production is demonstrated and provides a challenge for future experiments. We also demonstrate that, because of the large charm quark mass and the different timescales for charm ...
متن کاملOpen charm and charmonium production at relativistic energies
We calculate open charm and charmonium production in Au + Au reactions at √ s = 200 GeV within the hadron-string dynamics (HSD) transport approach employing open charm cross sections from pN and πN reactions that are fitted to results from PYTHIA and scaled in magnitude to the available experimental data. Charmonium dissociation with nucleons and formed mesons to open charm (D + D̄ pairs) is inc...

Elastic virtual photoproduction cross sections γ∗p→ J/ψ(ψ′) p and total charmoniumnucleon cross sections for J/ψ, ψ′ and χ states are calculated in a parameter free way with the light-cone dipole formalism and the same input: factorization in impact parameters, light-cone wave functions for the γ∗ and the charmonia, and the universal phenomenological dipole cross section which is fitted to othe...
