Associated J/ψ + γ Photoproduction as a Probe of the Colour-Octet Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The associated production of a J/ψ and a photon in photon-hadron collisions is considered, and shown to be a good probe of the presence of colour-octet mediated channels in quarkonia production, as predicted by the factorization approach within NRQCD. Total and differential cross sections for photoproduction at fixed target experiments and at HERA are presented. Associated J/ψ+ γ production at hadron colliders is briefly discussed.

Higher-Order Effects on Inelastic J/ψ Photoproduction
Approximately taking into account the higher-order effects due to multiple-gluon initial-state radiation, we extract from the latest Tevatron data of prompt J/ψ hadroproduction the leading colour-octet matrix elements within the nonrelativistic-QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism. We find that the matrix elements which describe the formation of J/ψ mesons from colour-octet cc̄ pairs in the angul...

Photoproduction of J/ψ is considered including the color-octet contributions from the various partial wave states, 2S+1 L J = 1 S 0 , 3 S 1 and 3 P J. The production cross section depends on three new nonperturbative parameters defined in NRQCD, called the color-octet matrix elements. Using the color-octet matrix elements determined by fitting the J/ψ production at the Tevatron, we find that th...

متن کاملColor-Octet Contributions to J/ψ Photoproduction via Fragmentation at HERA
We study J/ψ photoproduction via fragmentation at next-to-leading order in the QCD-improved parton model, using the nonrelativistic factorization formalism proposed by Bodwin, Braaten, and Lepage. We consider direct and resolved photoproduction of prompt J/ψ mesons and χcJ mesons radiatively decaying to J/ψ+ γ, taking into account the formation of both color-singlet and color-octet cc̄ states. A...
متن کاملAssociate J / ψ + γ Production : A Clean Probe of Unpolarized and Polarized Gluon Densities
Color-octet contributions to the associate J/ψ+γ are found to be negligible, compared to the ordinary color-singlet contribution. Within the color-singlet model the J/ψ + γ production in the leading order is possible only through gluon-gluon fusion process. Therefore, the associate J/ψ+γ production remains to be useful as a clean channel to probe the unpolarized and polarized gluon distribution...
