Heavy quarkonium fragmentation functions from a heavy quark pair. I. $S$ wave

Abstract

A QCD factorization formalism was recently proposed for evaluating heavy quarkonium production at large $p_T$ at collider energies. With systematically calculated short-distance partonic hard parts and evolution kernels of fragmentation functions (FFs), the predictive power of this factorization approach relies on our knowledge of a large number of universal FFs at an input factorization scale ${\mu }_0\gtrsim 2m_Q$ with heavy quark mass $m_Q$. With the large heavy quark mass, the relative motion of the heavy quark pair inside a heavy quarkonium is effectively non-relativistic. We evaluate these universal input FFs using non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, and express the large number of FFs in terms of a few universal NRQCD long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) with perturbatively calculated coefficients. We derive complete contributions to the single-parton FFs at both $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s)$ and $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s^2)$, and the heavy quark pair FFs at $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s)$. We present detailed derivation for all contributions involving LDMEs of $S$-wave NRQCD $Q\bar{Q}$-states ($P$-wave contributions in a companion paper). Our results bridge the gap between the QCD factorization formalism and its phenomenological applications.
