Abstract

Quarkonium spectroscopy, decay and production has provided scientists with an interesting place to test their ideas on QCD ever since charmonium was discovered in 1974. Yet, the potential of perturbative QCD (PQCD) to treat production and decay has been fully exploited only recently in a development comparable to that of Heavy Quark Effective Theory for heavy-light mesons. About the same time, experiments measuring quarkonium production at large transverse momentum have confronted theorists with surprisingly large cross sections. These observations have led to the understanding that fragmentation and hadronization of color-octet quark-antiquark (Q{anti Q}) pairs are essential in the production process. Color-octet mechanisms were considered in quarkonium decays already a while ago. They were found to solve the problem of infrared divergences in P-wave decays in a systematic way. Taking them into account also in S-wave production, where they are not required by perturbative consistency in leading order of a nonrelativistic expansion, opens the promise of a quantitative description of quarkonium production. The author briefly reviews the nonrelativistic QCD picture of quarkonium production and its confrontation with experiment in various production processes.

Heavy Quarkonium Production at LHC through W Boson Decays

Journal Article Liao, Qi-Li ; /Chongqing U. ; Wu, Xing-Gang ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

The production of the heavy (c{bar c})-quarkonium, (c{bar b})-quarkonium, and (b{bar b})-quarkonium states [({bar Q}') quarkonium for short], via the W{sup +} semi-inclusive decays, has been systematically studied within the framework of the nonrelativistic QCD. In addition to the two color-singlet S-wave states, we also discuss the production of the four color-singlet P-wave states |(Q{bar Q}')({sup 1}P{sub 1}){sub 1}> and |(Q{bar Q}')({sup 3}P{sub J}){sub 1}> [with J = (0,1,2)] together with the two color-octet components |(Q{bar Q}')({sup 1}S{sub 0}){sub 8}> and |(Q{bar Q}')({sup 3}S{sub 1}){sub 8}>.

QCD space-time analysis of quarkonium formation and evolution in hadronic collisions

Journal Article Geiger, K - Physical Review, D

The production of heavy quarkonium as Q{bar Q} bound states in hadron-hadron collisions is considered within the framework of a space-time description, combining parton-cascade evolution with a coalescence model for bound-state formation. The {open_quotes}hard{close_quotes} production of the initial Q{bar Q}, directly or via gluon fragmentation and including both color-singlet and color-octet contributions, is calculated from the perturbative QCD cross sections. The subsequent development of the Q{bar Q} system is described within a space-time generalization of the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi parton-evolution formalism in position and momentum space. The actual formation of the bound states is accomplished through overlap of the Q{bar Q} pairmore »« less

Gluon fragmentation into [ital P]-wave heavy quarkonium

Journal Article Braaten, E ; Yuan, T C - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

The fragmentation functions for gluons to split into [ital P]-wave heavy quarkonium states are calculated to leading order in the QCD coupling constant. Long-distance effects are factored into two nonperturbative parameters: the derivative of the radial wave function at the origin and a second parameter related to the probability for a heavy-quark--antiquark pair that is produced in a color-octet [ital S]-wave state to form a color-singlet [ital P]-wave bound state. The fragmentation probabilities for a high transverse momentum gluon to split into the [ital P]-wave charmonium states [chi][sub [ital c]0], [chi][sub [ital c]1], and [chi][sub [ital c]2] are estimated tomore »« less

Gluon fragmentation into P wave heavy quarkonium

Journal Article Braaten, Eric ; Yuan, Tzu Chiang - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The fragmentation functions for gluons to split into P-wave heavy quarkonium states are calculated to leading order in the QCD coupling constant. Long-distance effects are factored into two nonperturbative parameters: the derivative of the radial wavefunction at the origin and a second parameter related to the probability for a heavy-quark-antiquark pair that is produced in a color-octet S-wave state to form a color-singlet P-wave bound state. The fragmentation probabilities for a high transverse momentum gluon to split into the P-wave charmonium states \chi_{c0}, \chi_{c1}, and \chi_{c2} are estimated to be 0.4 \times 10^{-4}, 1.8 \times 10^{-4}, and 2.4 \times 10^{-4},more »« less

Quarkonium Decay Matrix Elements from Quenched Lattice QCD

Journal Article Bodwin, G T ; Sinclair, D K ; Kim, S - Physical Review Letters

We calculate the long-distance matrix elements for the decays of the lowest-lying {ital S}- and {ital P}-wave states of charmonium and bottomonium in quenched lattice QCD, using a nonrelativistic formulation for the heavy quarks. (The short-distance coefficients are known from perturbation theory.) In particular, we present the first calculation from QCD first principles of the color-octet contribution to {ital P}-wave decay{emdash}a contribution that is absent in potential models. We also give the relations between the lattice matrix elements and their continuum counterparts through one-loop order in perturbation theory. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
