Wk. Tang et M. Vanttinen, COLOR OCTET J PSI PRODUCTION AT LOW P(PERPENDICULAR-TO)/, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 54(7), 1996, pp. 4349-4355
We study contributions from color-octet quarkonium formation mechanism
s to J/psi hadroproduction at low rho(perpendicular to). We include tr
ansitions of color-octet <c(c)over bar> states into ''direct'' J/psi a
nd into chi(1,2) which decay radiatively into a J/psi. The leading col
or-singlet mechanisms analyzed in earlier work and the leading color-o
ctet mechanisms discussed here are found to be insufficient to reprodu
ce the p(perpendicular to)-integrated J/psi production data.
