Quarkonium bound-state problem in momentum space revisited

چکیده
A semi-spectral Chebyshev method for solving numerically singular integral equations is presented and applied in the quarkonium bound-state problem in momentum space. The integrals containing both, logarithmic and Cauchy singular kernels, can be evaluated without subtractions by dedicated automatic quadratures. By introducing a Chebyshev mesh and using the Nystrom algorithm the singular integral equation is converted into an algebraic eigenvalue problem that can be solved by standard methods. The proposed scheme is very simple to use, is easy in programming and highly accurate.

Inclusive Heavy-quarkonium Production in Hadronic Collisions∗
We discuss the theory of inclusive production of heavy quarkonium, the comparison between theory and experiment, and the expected nuclear effects in cold nuclear targets. We also present predictions, based on Nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), for quarkonium production cross sections in the LHC energy range. We find that nuclear effects in the production cross sections are largely independent of the ...
متن کاملHeavy Quarkonium Production and Propagation in Nuclei
We describe a precursor in heavy quarkonium production in terms of a coherent admixture of states of different color, spin, and angular momentum quantum numbers, and obtain the production amplitudes for different quarkonium bound states by projecting out this precursor state onto these bound states. The precursor is absorbed in its passage through a nucleus in a pA reaction, and the total cross...
متن کاملThe heavy quark potential in pNRQCD
In a recent series of papers [1,2] a detailed study of a suitable Effective Field Theory for heavy quark bound states, called potential NRQCD (pNRQCD) [3], has been started. Since several issues have been treated in that context, we address the reader to the quoted literature for a complete overview of the achieved results. Here we only mention the 1-loop matching [4] and the static energies of...
متن کاملPossible solution of the quarkonium polarization problem
Since first observed, quarkonium states remain a subject of intense studies on both theoretical and experimental sides. Quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions serves as a complex probe of the hadron structure (parton model), perturbative QCD, and the formation mechanism of heavy-quark bound states. The latter seems to be the most tricky ingredient in the theory. Several theore...
متن کاملQuarkonium Production at the Z Pole
The direct production rate of J/ψ via the color-octet mechanism is calculated at the Z resonance. The color-octet production process Z → J/ψqq̄ is shown to have a substantial branching ratio as well as a distinctive energy spectrum, which can be used as a powerful tool to distinguish from the color-singlet direct production of the J/ψ. Despite charmonium and bottomonium have been discovered some...
