Analysis of the contribution of the quantum anomaly energy to the proton mass

Abstract

Inspired by the recent Hall C and GlueX measurements of $J/\psi$ photoproduction, a systematic analysis of the contribution of quantum anomalous energy (QAE) to the proton mass is carried out under the framework of the vector meson dominance model. The results show that the effective Pomeron model and the parametrized two gluon exchange model can explain the cross section of $J/\psi$ photoproduction well. Based on the predicted cross section values given by the two models, the distribution of the QAE contribution with the energy is extracted for the first time. Finally, the average value of the QAE contribution is estimated to be (3.50$\pm$0.70)$\%$, which suggests that the QAE contribution to the proton mass is small. Accordingly, we compared this result with those of other groups and explored the causes for the differences.
