Single Polarisation Asymmetries for Quarkonia in Non-relativistic QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We find that single spin asymmetries in NRQCD are non-vanishing in general. They are proportional to the imaginary parts of some nonperturbative matrix elements. With statistics of about 10 identified J/ψ’s, or 10 identified χ2, it is possible to measure these imaginary parts even if they are an order of magnitude smaller than the real parts. Such statistics are quite reasonable at polarised HERA N and other future experiments. E-mail: [email protected]

χ 1 and Polarisation Asymmetries for Quarkonia at High Orders in Non - relativistic QCD
We study doubly polarised asymmetries of ¯ cc and ¯ bb mesons in hadro-and photo-production at low transverse momentum in non-relativistic QCD to high orders in the relative velocity of the pair, v. We give the complete set of expressions required for the asymmetries up to order v 9. The asymmetries in the production of η c,b states are a stable measure of the polarised gluon densities. The asy...
متن کاملA Modern Introduction to Quarkonium Theory
Recent advances in lattice and continuum QCD have given us new insights into quarkonium physics. These set of lectures are intend for the uninitiated. We first give a physical picture of quarkonium and describe the hybrids states established in lattice QCD. Then we give an unorthodox presentation of Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) including a novel method for the application of spin-symmetries. Fi...
متن کاملExotic Quarkonia from Lattice QCD
We present non-perturbative results for the spectrum of heavy quarkonia. Using an anisotropic formulation of Lattice QCD we achieved an unprecedented control over statistical and systematic errors. We also study relativistic corrections to the leading order predictions for heavy hybrids and conventional bound states. † CP-PACS Collaboration: A. Ali Khan, S. Aoki, R. Burkhalter, S. Ejiri, M.

متن کاملNon-relativistic Effective Theory for Quarkonium Production in Hadron Collisions
I review recent progress in understanding inclusive quarkonium production in hadron collisions. The rst part focuses on non-relativistic QCD as an e ective theory. I discuss its di erences from and similarities with e ective theories describing bound states of a single heavy quark, as far as matching calculations beyond tree-level and power counting are concerned. The second part summarizes pre...
متن کاملA Theoretical Review of Heavy Quarkonium Inclusive Decays
Heavy quarkonia (charmonium, bottomonium, ...) provide an ideal set of observables to probe properties of low-energy QCD in a controlled way. The reason is the following. Heavy quarkonia are non-relativistic bound states and, therefore, characterized by a set of energy scales hierarchically ordered: m, mv, mv, ... where m is the heavy-quark mass and v ≪ 1 the relative heavy-quark velocity. For ...
