Searches for Prompt Heavy Quarkonia
نویسنده
چکیده
We have searched for prompt heavy quarkonia and Bc mesons in 3 × 106 hadronic Z0 decays recorded with the DELPHI detector at LEP. No signal was observed in any of these modes. We achieved the highest sensitivities for gluon fragmentation into J/ψ and for semileptonic B c decays, yielding branching ratio upper limits of B(Z 0 → J/ψggX) < 4.1×10−4 and B(Z0 → B c X)·B(B ± c → J/ψl νl) < 5.0×10 −5 @ 90% CL, respectively. We found the first evidence for radially excited B mesons, by observing a signal in the B(∗)π+π− final state at Q = m(B(∗)π+π−)−m(B(∗))− 2m(π) = 301 ± 4± 10 MeV.

Spin Symmetry Predictions for Heavy Quarkonia Alignment
We investigate the implications of spin symmetry for heavy quarkonia production and decay. We first compare spin symmetry predictions for charmonia and bottomonia radiative transitions with data and find they agree quite well. We next use spin symmetry along with nonrelativistic QCD power counting to determine the leading order alignment of P and D-wave orthoquarkonia that are produced through ...
متن کاملHard Photoproduction at HERA
In view of possible photoproduction studies in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, we briefly review the present theoretical understanding of photons and hard photoproduction processes at HERA, discussing the production of jets, light and heavy hadrons, quarkonia, and prompt photons. We address in particular the extraction of the strong coupling constant from photon structure funct...
متن کاملObservation and measurements of the production of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ mesons in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at √ s = 8TeV with the ATLAS detector
A key observable for understanding the quarkonium production mechanism is the associated production of a vector boson with heavy quarkonia. ATLAS Collaboration in LHC observed the associated production of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ mesons with Z boson with 5σ and 9σ signifance respectively. In this poster the measurement of the production rate of Z + J/ψ over inclusive Z is discussed. Additional...

Studying the production or decay processes of heavy quarkonia (the bound state of heavy quark-antiquark) is a powerful tool to test our understanding of strong interaction dynamics and QCD theory. Fragmentation is the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum. The fragmentation refers to the production process of a parton with high transverse momentum whic...
متن کاملColor-octet quarkonia production. II.
We calculate the lowest order hadronic cross sections for producing colored heavy quark-antiquark pairs in L = S = 0 and L = S = 1 configurations. Such QQ[S (8) 0 ] and QQ[P (8) J ] states hadronize into ψQ quarkonia at the same order in the NRQCD velocity expansion as previously considered QQ[S (8) 1 ] pairs. Their contributions to prompt Psi and Upsilon production at the Tevatron bring the sh...
