J/ψElectromagnetic Production at e^+e^- colliders

arXiv:hep-ph/9706443 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.57.4035

Abstract

Within the framework of QED we investigate the inclusive J/ψproduction at colliders. It is expected to be as a further test to the charmonium production mechanisms and QED. We find that at the energies of CESR, BEPC, and TRISTAN (e.g. 4.0 GeV \leq \sqrt s \leq 60 GeV), the contributions of the concerned electromagnetic processes to the inclusive production are great, even dominant, thus they greatly affect the observation of the color-octet production signature at colliders. The production of ψ', being similar to that of J/ψ's, is roughly estimated, and its influence on the observation of the color-octet J/ψproduction signature in e^+e^- collision is also discussed.
