Production of J / {psi} Mesons from {sub x{sub c} Meson decays in {ovr p}p collisions at {radical}{ovr s} = 1.8 TeV.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
We have measured the fraction of J/{psi} mesons originating from X{sub c} meson decays in p{ovr p} collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV. The fraction, for P{sub T}{sup J/{psi}}>4.0 GeV/c and |{eta}{sup J/{psi}}| < 0.6, not including contributions from b flavored hadrons, is 29.7%{+-}1.7%(stat){+-}5.7%(syst). We have determined the cross sections for J/{psi} mesons originating from X{sub c} decays and for directly produced J/{psi} mesons. We have found that direct J/{psi} production is in excess of the prediction of the color singlet model by the same factor found for direct {psi}(2S) production.
