Photoproduction of $\ddot{I}{ˆ}^{\prime }$ as a Test of Color-Octet Model

Abstract

We have calculated the cross section of $\ddot{I}{ˆ}^{\prime }$ photoproduction at small-$p_T$ regions in polarized ${\hat{I}}^{3}p$ collisions for testing the color-octet model, which is based on NRQCD factorization formalism. We show that the measurement of the two-spin asymmetry of this process might be effective to constrain the value of NRQCD matrix elements.
