Charmonium production at neutrino factories
نویسندگان
چکیده
At existing and planned neutrino factories (high energy and high intensity neutrino beam facilities) precision studies of QCD in neutrino-nucleon interactions are a realistic opportunity. We investigate charmonium production in fixed target neutrino experiments. We find that J/ψ production in neutrinonucleon collision is dominated by the color octet S1 NRQCD matrix element in a neutral current process, which is not accessible in photo or leptoproduction. Neutrino experiments at a future Muon Collider will acquire sufficient event rate to accurately measure color octet matrix element contributions. The currently running high energy neutrino experiments NOMAD and NuTeV could also observe several such events.

The use of neutrino beams from muon storage rings 1
I give a brief overview of the physics potential of short baseline experiments at neutrino factories, i.e. facilities providing high energy and high intensity neutrino beams, like the one planned to be built in connection with the proposed high energy muon storage ring. These facilities would offer a unique opportunity to perform new precision studies of QCD and electroweak interactions. New ty...
متن کاملExotic/charmonium Hadron Spectroscopy at Belle and Babar
A brief review of experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like hadron spectroscopy at B-factories is presented. A special focus is put on recent results of η c and η c (2S) study, X(3872) radiative decays, ωJ/ψ final state study and search for charmonium production in radiative Υ decays.
متن کاملNew Charmonium-like States at B-Factories
Several new states have been discovered in the last few years [2], most of them at B-factories. The B-factories provide a clean environment to search for and study these new particles either in B meson decays or in the production in ee reactions with initial state radiation. In this article the recent analyses of new states in B decays are presented. Both experiments, BaBar and Belle, together ...

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 کاملCharm and Charmonium Spectroscopy at the ee B-Factories
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of progress in the areas of charm and charmonium spectroscopy, in large part due to the very large data samples being accumulated at the ee B-Factories. In this presentation I will focus on results in three areas: the X/Y/Z charmonium-candidate states, the DsJ charmed-strange mesons, and newly-discovered charmed baryons. Note the absence of a sectio...
