1P1 charmonium production at the Tevatron

Abstract

The production of the ${}^1{P}_1$ charmonium state, $h_c$, at large-$p_T$ at the Tevatron is considered. The colour-octet contributions to this state are found to be dominant and give a reasonably large rate for the production of $h_c$. This should make it feasible to look for this resonance in the $J/\psi +\pi$ decay channel. This production rate is a prediction of NRQCD, and the observation of the $h_c$ at the Tevatron can, therefore, be used as a test of the colour-octet predictions of NRQCD.
