φElectro-production in Pomeron Exchange Model

Based on the Pomeron exchange model, elastic production of φ meson in electron-proton interaction is investigated with both linear and non-linear Pomeron trajectories. The numerical calculations of the differential cross section for e＋p→e＇ ＋p＋ φ are performed. The theoretical predictions show that the dependence of the differential cross section on virtual photon virtuality, Q^2, is of moderation, the change of the energy scale parameter so causes moderate effect on the differential cross section, and the linear trajectory is a good approximation to non-linearity of the Pomeron trajectory, in particular, at small momentum transfer region ｜t｜≤ 0.2 GeV^2.

Diquark Model for J/ψ Baryonic Decays

The baryonic decays of J/ provide a new way to study the internal structure of baryons. We apply a simple diquark model to the calculation of the decay cross-sections for the reactions J/ , N^*(1440), ^*N^*, and ⁰⁰. The results are different from those given by the ordinary constituent quark model. Hence these reactions may provide a new check of two different pictures for the baryons.     

J/ψ production in PHENIX

Heavy quarkonia production is expected to be sensitive to the formation of a quark gluon plasma (QGP). The PHENIX experiment has measured J/ψ production at  =200 GeV in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions, as well as in reference p+p and d+Au runs. J/ψ’s were measured both at mid (|y|<0.35) and forward (1.2<|y|<2.2) rapidity. In this letter, we present the A+A preliminary results and compare them to normal cold nuclear matter expectations derived from PHENIX d+Au and p+p measurements as well as to theoretical models including various effects (color screening, recombination, sequential melting...).     

J/ψ Dissociation in Hot and Dense Matter

The energy spectra of heavy quark bound states are analyzed using the error-function-type potential and the one-gluon-exchange Coulomb-type force. The Debye screening mass at finite temperature and density is studied in the thermofield dynamics approach. The critical temperature and cridcal energy density for J/ψ dissociation in hot and dense matter are obtained.     

Tuning and Validation of the Lundcharm Model with J/ψ Decays

Using J/ψ decays collected with the BES Ⅲ detector, Lundcharm model parameters are optimized with J/ψlight hadron decays. The dependence of the response function on model parameters is approximated up to the quadratic term, and the model parameters are optimized by simultaneously fitting J/ψ inclusive charged track distributions and event shapes. The Monte Carlo simulations show that optimal parameters yield satisfactory MC distributions as compared to both the J/ψ and ψ（2S） data distributions. These optimal values are suggested for the Lundcharm model to produce J/ψ and ψ（2S） decays to light hadrons.     

Nuclear effects in J/ψ suppression

We compute the effect on the J/ψ production in nucleus-nucleus coollisions of the absorption of the J/ψ inside the colliding nuclei. Using a value of the absorptive J/ψ-nucleon cross section which reproduces the A-dependence of the J/ψ cross section in hadron-nucleus collisions, we obtain much less suppression than that measured by the NA38 Collaboration. The effect due to a strongly absorbed (A^0.7) component is also discussed. In order to explain the NA38 results one needs a very large contribution (50%) of the latter component.     

Φπ production in\bar pp annihilation from S and P states and in J/ψ decaysannihilation from S and P states and in J/ψ decays

Recent experiments at LEAR have found surprisingly large branching ratios for reactions $\bar NN \to \phi \pi $ from S-wave initial states while noφπ production is observed from P states of the $\bar pp$ system. Also, noφπ is seen in radiative J/ψ decays even though the rate forωπ is substantial. We calculate theφπ production rates for these three cases viaKK* intermediate states and $K\bar K$ rescattering using the dispersion relation technique; we find that the largeφπ rate in $\bar pp$ annihilations from S states can be reproduced with a reasonable cut-off for the dispersion integral; for J/ψ decays the calculatedφπ rate is compatible with the observed upper limit. We would, however, expectφπ to be seen from $\bar pp$ P-states, in contrast to experimental findings. Yet the branching ratio for $\bar pp \to K*\bar K$ via isospinI = 1 of $\bar pp$ ,¹ P ₁ state is not known; and therefore no definite conclusion can be drawn. We also compare the Dalitz plots we obtain for directφ production and forφ production via rescattering. Clear differences between the two theoretical distributions are observed; yet very high precision data would be required to establish the origin — direct production or rescattering — of theφ mesons. This observation supports the use of the isobar model in data analyses.     

J/ψ production and absorption in high energy proton-nucleus collisions

Measured J/ψ production cross sections for 200 and 450 GeV/c protons incident on a variety of nuclear targets are analyzed within a Glauber framework which takes into account energy loss of the beam proton, the time delay of particle production due to quantum coherence, and absorption of the J/ψ on nucleons. The best representation is obtained for a coherence time of 0.5 fm/c, previously determined by Drell–Yan production in proton-nucleus collisions, and an absorption cross section of 3.6 mb, which is consistent with the value deduced from photoproduction of the J/ψ on nuclear targets.     

J/ψ and γ production in high energy electron-proton collisions

Differential cross sections for electroproduction of J/ψ and γ are predicted for HERA and LHC energies.     

Double Pomeron Exchange and J/ψ,γ Production Processes in High Energy p＋p(p)Collisions

The double diffractive J/ψ, hard production processes is discussed. Assuming that Pomeron has parton distributions and dominated by gluons with behavior as 1/x when x is small, the energy dependance of the cross section, for above processes is calculated and compared with both the cross section of single diffractive hard scattering and of Drell-Yan processes . It is shown that the is similar with and increases as (lnS)2 at superhigh energies. It is emphasized that this character may provide a new method for detecting physical particles at energy ranges of SSC.     

Non-QGP mechanisms for J/ψ suppression in h-A and A-A processes

The data of charmonium/bottonium suppressions in p-A collisions are analyzed by considering the shadowing effect of the gluon structure function at small x, the absorption in the target nuclei and the energy degradation of the produced $c\bar c$ pairs. The A-andx ₂-dependences of the suppression in p-A collisions are well described based on above physical considerations. The J/ψ suppression data in A-A collisions are also analyzed based on these mechanisms.     

J/ψ Dissociation in QGP via Multi-gluon Absorption

We propose that the suppression of J/ψ production in relativistic heavy ion collisions may be explained by that J/ψ dissociates via absorbing multi-gluons in the environment of quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) where abundance of gluons is expected.     

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.     

Determination of the number of J/ψ events with inclusive J/ψ decays

A measurement of the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESⅢ detector in 2009 and 2012 is performed using inclusive decays of the J/ψ. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2009 is recalculated to be(223.7±1.4)×10~6, which is in good agreement with the previous measurement, but with significantly improved precision due to improvements in the BESⅢ software. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2012 is determined to be(1086.9±6.0)×10~6. In total, the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESⅢ detector is measured to be(1310.6±7.0)×106, where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.     

Pseudoscalar mixing in J/ψ and ψ（2S）decay

Based on the branching fractions of J/ψ（ψ（2S））→ VP from different collaborations, pseudoscalar mixing is extensively discussed with a well established phenomenological model. The mixing angle is determined to be -14° by fitting to the new world average if only quark content is considered. After taking into account the gluonic content in η and η＇ simultaneously, the investigation shows that η favors only consisting of light quarks, while the gluonic content of η＇ is Z2η＇, = 0.30±0.24.
