920个GeV固定靶质子-核碰撞产生的J/psi轻子的角分布

Angular distributions of leptons from J/psi's produced in 920 GeV fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions

B Collaboration

摘要:

本文在Feynman-x区-0.34 <xF < 0.14和横动量达5.4GeV/c范围内,研究了sqrt{s}= 41.6GeV的p-C和p-W碰撞中J/psi衰变产生的轻子角分布。数据由DESY实验室HERA质子环的HERA-B实验收集。基于在e^+ e^-和mu^+ mu^-衰变通道中重建的2.3 x 10^5 J/psi的清晰选择,结果表明J/psi是由纵向极化产生的。在低p_T时效应最大。当p_T >1 GeV/c时,发现了对参考系的显著依赖性:极向各向异性在Collins-Soper参考系中更为明显,而在螺旋度参考系中几乎消失,相反,出现了显著的方位各向异性。

英文摘要:

A study of the angular distributions of leptons from decays of J/psi's produced in p-C and p-W collisions at sqrt{s}=41.6 GeV has been performed in the Feynman-x region -0.34 < x_F < 0.14 and for transverse momentum up to 5.4 GeV/c. The data were collected by the HERA-B experiment at the HERA proton ring of the DESY laboratory. The results, based on a clean selection of 2.3 x 10^5 J/psi's reconstructed in both the e^+ e^- and mu^+ mu^- decay channels, indicate that J/psi's are produced with longitudinal polarization. The magnitude of the effect is maximal at low p_T. For p_T >1 GeV/c a significant dependence on the reference frame is found: the polar anisotropy is more pronounced in the Collins-Soper frame and almost vanishes in the helicity frame, where, instead, a significant azimuthal anisotropy arises.
