A Phenomenological Analysis of Gluon Mass Effects in Inclusive Radiative Decays of the $J/\psi$ and $Υ

Abstract

The shapes of the inclusive photon spectra in the processes $\Jp \to γX$ and $\Up \to γX$ have been analysed using all available experimental data. Relativistic, higher order QCD and gluon mass corrections were taken into account in the fitted functions. Only on including the gluon mass corrections, were consistent and acceptable fits obtained. Values of $0.721_{-0.068}^{+0.016}$ GeV and $1.18_{-0.29}^{+0.09}$ GeV were found for the effective gluon masses (corresponding to Born level diagrams) for the $\Jp$ and $\Up$ respectively. The width ratios $Γ(V \to {\rm hadrons})/Γ(V \to γ+ {\rm hadrons}) V=\Jp, \Up$ were used to determine ${\alpha }_s(1.5\mathrm{GeV})$ and ${\alpha }_s(4.9\mathrm{GeV})$. Values consistent with the current world average ${\alpha }_s$ were obtained only when gluon mass correction factors, calculated using the fitted values of the effective gluon mass, were applied. A gluon mass $\simeq 1$ GeV, as suggested with these results, is consistent with previous analytical theoretical calculations and independent phenomenological estimates, as well as with a recent, more accurate, lattice calculation of the gluon propagator in the infra-red region.
