Probing Pion Valence Quark Distribution with Beam-charge Asymmetry of Pion-induced $J/\ddot{I}ˆ$ Production

Wen-Chen Chang, Marco Meyer-Conde, Jen-Chieh Peng +2

We consider the beam-charge asymmetry of the $J/\ddot{I}ˆ$ production cross sections in $\ddot{I}{€}^{-}$- versus $\ddot{I}{€}^{+}$-induced reactions on proton or nuclear targets. We show that the $J/\ddot{I}ˆ$ produ…
