A technique to study the elastic and inelastic interaction of quarkonium with hadrons using femtoscopic correlations

Abstract

We present a method for the measurement of parameters of elastic and inelastic interactions of charmonium with hadrons. In this technique, we use femtoscopic analysis of charmonium-hadron correlations at low relative momentum and the Lednicky-Lyuboshitz analytical model to extract the interaction parameters. We argue that such a study is already feasible in the LHCb experiment at the LHC, and we discuss the prospects for studies in the STAR at RHIC and other experiments at the LHC.
