Prompt J/psi Polarization at the Tevatron
arXiv:hep-ph/0005254 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X01007273
Abstract
The polarization of prompt J/psi at the Tevatron is calculated within the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework. The contribution from radiative decays of P-wave charmonium states decreases, but does not eliminate, the transverse polarization at large transverse momentum. The prediction agrees with measurements from the CDF collaboration at intermediate values of p_T, but disagrees at the large values of p_T measured.
