Color-evaporation-model calculation of e^+ e^- -> J/psi+cc-bar+X at root-s=10.6 GeV

Abstract

Measurements by the Belle Collaboration of the cross section for inclusive J/psi production in e^+e^- annihilation have been a serious challenge to current heavy-quarkonium theory. Especially, the measured cross sections for exclusive J/psi+eta_c and inclusive J/psi+cc-bar+X differ from nonrelativistic QCD predictions by an order of magnitude. In order to check if other available alternative theory can resolve such a large discrepancy, we calculate the cross section for inclusive J/psi+cc-bar+X based on the color-evaporation model. As a phenomenological model, the color-evaporation model is still employed to predict cross sections for inclusive quarkonium production in various processes. Our results show that the color-evaporation-model prediction is even smaller than the nonrelativistic QCD prediction by an order of magnitude. The resultant color-evaporation-model prediction for J/psi+cc-bar+X fraction in the inclusive J/psi production cross section is 0.049, while the empirical value measured by the Belle Collaboration is 0.82.
