A Crucial Test for Color-Octet Production Mechanism in Z^0 Decays

arXiv:hep-ph/9609284 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.55.4001

Abstract

The direct production rates of -wave charmonia in the decays of is evaluated. The color-octet production processes are shown to have distinctively large branching ratios, the same order of magnitude as that of prodution, as compared with other -wave charmonium production mechanisms. This may suggest a crucial channel to test the color-octet mechanism as well as to observe the -wave charmonium states in decays. In addition, a signal for the charmonium as strong as or with large transverse momentum at the Tevatron should also be observed.
