Color-Octet J/psi Production at Low P(T)

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/813213· OSTI ID:813213

We study contributions from color-octet quarkonium formation mechanisms to J/{psi} hadroproduction at low p{sub {perpendicular}}. We include transitions of color-octet c{bar c} states into ''direct'' J/{psi} and into {chi}{sub 1,2} which decay radiatively into a J/{psi}. Together with earlier work, this calculation constitutes a complete analysis of p{sub {perpendicular}}-integrated J/{psi} production at leading twist. We find that the leading-twist contribution is not sufficient to reproduce the observed production rates and polarization of the J/{psi} and {chi}{sub 1,2}. Hence there must exist other important quarkonium production mechanisms at low p{sub {perpendicular}}.
