P. Ernstrom et L. Lonnblad, GENERATING HEAVY QUARKONIA IN A PERTURBATIVE QCD CASCADE, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 75(1), 1997, pp. 51-56
We present an implementation of heavy quarkonium production within a p
erturbative QCD cascade based on the Color Dipole Cascade model. We co
nsider the processes most relevant in the context of the psi' surplus
at the Tevatron; g --> psi' and c --> psi' in the color-singlet model
and g --> psi' through the color-octet mechanism. Our implementation i
s, however, easily extendible to other quarkonia and other production
mechanisms. Where comparison is possible we find good agreement with a
nalytical calculations. We present some suggestions for measurements a
t the Tevatron that would be sensitive to the shape of the fragmentati
on functions. Our calculations indicate that such measurements could b
e used to test the color-octet mechanism solution to the psi' surplus
at the Tevatron.
