Perturbative QCD for J/ψ inclusive production via initial state radiation in e~+e~- collisions

The process e+e-→J/ψ+X with the center-of-mass(CM)energy in the range from 3.7 to 10.6 GeV is calculated up to the next-to-leading order(NLO)in quantum chromodynamics(QCD).At 10.6 GeV,the result is consistent with the experimental result from Belle.However,the predictions are much smaller than the background in the measurements at BESIII in the low CM energy range from 3.7 to 4.6 GeV.This indicates that the convergence of the QCD perturbative expansion becomes worse as the CM energy is closer to the inclusive J/ψ production threshold.For a further study of the QCD mechanism of J/ψ production in e~+e~-collisions with different CM energies,the initial state radiation effect of e~+e~-→J/ψ +gg and e~+e~-→J/ψ+cc are calculated in QCD NLO.The results are plotted and the number of events for different CM energy bins are provided for SuperKEKB.This provides a method to precisely test the validity of perturbative predictions for J/ψ production in future measurements.     

Inclusive Cross Section Production of J/ψ in LEP

Cross section production is one of the observable quantities in the hadronic systems. Inclusive cross section production J/ψ may be calculated through the use of the fragmentation c → J/ψ. In this paper we calculate the inclusive cross section production J/ψ about the pole of Z~0 in the e~+e~- annihilation, through the lowest order regim of perturbative of QCD ananlyticaly. The obtained results arrive an excellent agreement with the exprimental data to produce the inclusive cross section production c → J/ψ.     

Measurement of e~+e~-→D■ cross sections at the ψ(3770) resonance

We report new measurements of the cross sections for the production of DD final states at theψ(3770)resonance.Our data sample consists of an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb~(-1)of e~+e~-annihilation data produced by the BEPCⅡ collider and collected and analyzed with the BESⅢ detector.We exclusively reconstruct three D~0and six D~+hadronic decay modes and use the ratio of the yield of fully reconstructed DD events("double tags")to the yield of all reconstructed D or D mesons("single tags")to determine the number of D~0 D~0and D~+D~-events,benefiting from the cancellation of many systematic uncertainties.Combining these yields with an independent determination of the integrated luminosity of the data sample,we find the cross sections to beσ(e~+e~-→D~0D~0)=(3.615±0.010±0.038)nb andσ(e~+e~-→D~+D~-)=(2.830±0.011±0.026)nb,where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic,respectively.     

Study of the rare decay J/ψ→e~+e~-φ

We study the decay process of J/ψ→e~+e~-φ where the relatively clean electromagnetic(EM) transitions appear at leading order at tree level while the hadronic contributions only emerge via hadronic loop transitions. We include the low-lying scalar f_0(980) and pseudoscalar η/η as the dominant contributions in the evaluation of the hadronic loop contributions. It is found that the hadronic effects are negligible compared with the EM contributions.The decay width of J/ψ→e~+e~-φ is determined to be about 2.12 × 10~(-6) ke V if there is no other leading mechanism contributing. This result will be tested by the BESIII experiment with a large J/ψ data sample.     

J/ψ-J/ψ scattering cross sections of quadratic and Cornell potentials

We study the scattering of J/ψ - J/ψ mesons using quadratic and Cornell potentials in our tetraquark(cccc)system.The system’s wavefunction in the restricted gluonic basis,which is written by utilizing the adiabatic approximation and Hamiltonian,is used via a quark potential model.The resonating group technique is used to obtain the integral equations,which are solved to obtain the unknown inter-cluster dependence of the total wavefunction of our tetraquark system.T-Matrix elements are calculated from the solutions,and eventually,the scattering cross sections are obtained using the two potentials.We compare these cross sections and find that the magnitudes of scattering cross sections of quadratic potential are higher than the Cornell potential.     

A discussion on vacuum polarization correction to the cross-section of e~+e~-→γ~*/ψ →μ~+μ~-

Vacuum polarization is a part of the initial-state radiative correction for the cross-section of e~+e~- annihilation processes. In the energy region in the vicinity of narrow resonances J/ψ and ψ(3686), the vacuum polarization contribution from the resonant component has a significant effect on the line-shape of the lepton pair production cross-section. This paper discusses some basic concepts and describes an analytical calculation of the cross-section of e~+e~-→γ*/ψ→μ+μ-considering the single and double vacuum polarization effect of the virtual photon propagator. Moreover, it presents some numerical comparisons with the traditional treatments.     

Observation of e~+e~-→D_s~+■~((*)0)K~- and study of the P-wave D_s mesons

Studies of e~+e~→D_s~+■~((*)0)K~-and the P-wave charmed-strange mesons are performed based on an e~+e~-collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb~(-1) collected with the BESIII detector at s~(1/2)=4.600 GeV. The processes of e~+e~-→D_s~+■~(*0)K~- and D_s~+■~0K~- are observed for the first time and are found to be dominated by the modes D_s~+D_(s1)(2536)~-and D_s~+D_(s2)~*(2573)~-, respectively. The Born cross sections are measured to be σ~B(e~+e~-→D_s~+■~(*0)K~-) =(10.1±2.3±0.8) pb and σ~B(e~+e~-→D_s~+■~0K~-) =(19.4±2.3± 1.6) pb, and the products of Born cross section and the decay branching fraction are measured to be σ~B(e~+e~-→D_s~+D_(s1)(2536)~-+c.c.)·B(D_(s1)(2536)~-→■~(*0)K~-)=(7.5±1.8±0.7) pb and σ~B(e~+e~-→D_s~+D_(s2)~*(2573)~-+ c.c.)·B(D_(s2)~*(2573)~-→■~0 K~-)=(19.7 ± 2.9 ±2.0) pb. For the D_(s1)(2536)~-and D_(s2)~*(2573)~-mesons, the masses and widths are measured to be M(D_(s1)(2536)~-)=(2537.7±0.5 ±3.1) MeV/c2, Γ(D_(s1)(2536)~-) =(1.7 ±1.2 ±0.6)MeV, and M(D_(s2)~*(2573)~-)=(2570.7±2.0 ±1.7) MeV/c~2, Γ(D_(s2)~*(2573)~-)=(17.2 ±3.6 ±1.1) MeV. The spin-parity of the D_(s2)~*(2573)~-meson is determined to be J~p= 2~+. In addition, the processes e~+e~-→D_s~+■~((*)0)K~-are searched for using the data samples taken at four(two) center-of-mass energies between 4.416(4.527) and 4.575 GeV, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the cross sections are determined.     

Search for ψ(4S) → ηJ/ψ in B~±→ ηJ/ψK~± and e~+e~-→ ηJ/ψ processes

We search for the ψ(4S) state in the B~±→ηJ/ψK~± and e~+e~-→ηJ/ψ processes based on the Belle measurements with the assumed mass M =(4230±8) MeV/c~2 and width Γ =(38±12) MeV. No significant signal is observed in the ηJ/ψ mass spectra. The 90% confidence level upper limit on the product branching fraction B(B~±→ψ(4S)K~±)B(ψ(4S)→ηJ/ψ) 6.8×10~(-6) is obtained in the B~±→ηJ/ψK~± decays. By assuming the partial width of ψ(4S)→e~+e~-to be 0.63 ke V, a branching fraction limitB(ψ(4S)→ηJ/ψ) 1.3% is obtained at the 90%confidence level in e~+e~-→ηJ/ψ, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction.     

Charmonium dissociation in collisions with φ mesons in hadronic matter

The φ-charmonium dissociation reactions in hadronic matter are studied.Unpolarised cross sections forφJ/ψ→D_s~-D_s~+,φJ/ψ→D_s~(*-)D_s~+ or D_s~-D_s~(*+),φJ/ψ→D_s~(*-)D_s~(*+),φψ'→D_s~-D_s~+,φψ'→D_s~(*-)D_s~+ or D_s~-D_s~(*+),φψ'→D_s~(*-)D_s~(*+),φχ_c→D_s~-D_s~+,φχ_c→D_s~(*-)D_s~+ or D_s~-D_s~(*+) and φχ_c→D_s~(*-)D_s~(*+) are calculated in the Born approximation,in the quark-interchange mechanism and with a temperature-dependent quark potential.The potential leads to remarkable temperature dependence of the cross sections.With the cross sections and the φ distribution function we calculate the dissociation rates of the charmonia in interactions with the φ meson in hadronic matter.The dependence of the rates on temperature and charmonium momentum is relevant to the influence of φ mesons on charmonium suppression.     

Higgs and Bottom Quarks Associated Production at High Energy Colliders in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity

In the littlest Higgs Model with T-parity,we discuss the Higgs production in association with bottom quarks at the LHC and future electron-positron collider.We calculate the cross sections of production channels pp→bb H,bb→H and bg→b H at 14 Te V LHC and the cross sections of production channel e~+e~-→bb H in(un)polarized beams at the lowest order.In order to investigate the observability,we display some typical final state distributions in the Higgs to diphoton channel.     

Diffractive Scattering Factorization from J/ψ and γ Associated Production in HERA ep Collisions

Using three sets of Pomeron structure functions, the cross sections of J/ψ and γ associated productionvia resolved photon and proton diffractive scatting in ep collision are investigated. It is found that the cross sectionscalculated with various gluon distribution functions of Pomeron are different. The discrepancy is about 1.8 times fordifferential cross sections and 1.7 times for total cross sections. The experimental studies of the process could give valuableinsight in the diffractive production mechanism and test the color-octet mechanism for heavy quarkonium production ina new environment.     

Exclusive production of B_c mesons in e~+e~- colliders

Within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach,we calculate the time-like B_(c )B_c(B_c~*)form factors F(Q~2)and A_2(Q~2).We include relativistic corrections and QCD corrections,either of which can give about20%correction to the leading-order contribution,but there are cancellation effects between them.We calculate the cross sections of the e~+e~-→B_c~-B_c~+(B_c~(*+))processes.The cross sections are enhanced at the Z pole to beσ~(P P)(Q=m _Z)～1.3×10~(-5)pb andσ~(P V)(Q=m _Z)～2.5×10~(-5)pb,which are still too small to be detected by proposed e~+e~-colliders such as the Circular Electron Positron Collider.

Luminosity measurements for the R scan experiment at BESIII

By analyzing the large-angle Bhabha scattering events e~+e~-→(γ)e~+e~-and diphoton events e~+e~-→(γ)γγ for the data sets collected at center-of-mass(c.m.) energies between 2.2324 and 4.5900 Ge V(131 energy points in total) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer(BESIII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider(BEPCII), the integrated luminosities have been measured at the different c.m. energies, individually. The results are important inputs for the R value and J/ψ resonance parameter measurements.     

Application of SNi PER framework to BESⅢ physics analysis

A fast physics analysis framework has been developed based on SNi PER to process the increasingly large data sample collected by BESⅢ.In this framework,a reconstructed event data model with Smart Ref is designed to improve the speed of Input/Output operations,and necessary physics analysis tools are migrated from BOSS to SNi PER.A real physics analysis e~+e~-→π~+π~-J/ψ is used to test the new framework,and achieves a factor of10.3 improvement in Input/Output speed compared to BOSS.Further tests show that the improvement is mainly attributed to the new reconstructed event data model and the lazy-loading functionality provided by Smart Ref.     

Determination of J/ψ Event Number via J/ψ → μ^＋μ^- and J/ψ → e^＋e^- at BESⅢ

The decays of J/ψ → μ^＋μ^- and J/ψ → e^＋e^- are studied by Monte-Carlo simulation, based on the Beijing Spectrometer （BES）Ⅲ offtine software system. The methods of determination of the J/ψ event number via J/ψ → μ^＋μ^- and J/ψ → e^＋e^- are presented, respectively. These methods can be used to determine the J/ψ event number for the coming BESⅢ J/ψ data sample.     

Feasibility study of a J/ψ cross section measurement with early CMS data

We report the methods and plans for measuring the differential cross section of J/ψ→μ^＋μ^- production, using data to be collected in the first LHC run by the CMS detector. Making use of the large B-hadron lifetime, we show how to separate the promptly produced J/ψ’s from those coming from B-hadron decays. Since the J/ψ production cross section is expected to be large, the analysis should be viable with relatively small data sets, that will become available early in the startup of the LHC. We also address effects of a non-perfect detector alignment, as well as systematic uncertainties. About 70 thousand J/ψ decays are reconstructed from Monte Carlo data, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3 pb^-1 in 14 TeV collisions, in the range of pT^J/ ψbetween 5 and 40 GeV/c. The precision of the result is limited by systematic uncertainties, and is at the 15% level.     

Production of Λ-hypernuclei in A(p,K~ )ΛB reactions

The production of Λ-hypernuclei in the A(p,K )ΛB reaction is investigated in the framework of the distorted wave impulse approximation(DWIA). The total cross sections and differential cross sections for various nuclear targets are calculated with an elementary process pN→NKΛ where the additional contributions from the N*(1535) resonance and the final state interaction between p and Λ are included. The dependence of the production cross sections of Λ-hypernuclei on the phenomenological nuclear density and the nucleon number in the target, as well as the distortion effect of the incident proton and outgoing kaon, are also explored. It is shown that the distortion effect tends to decrease the cross sections by a factor of about 3—10. The production cross sections are sensitive to the adopted nuclear density.
