从固定靶到对撞机能量的J/psi极化

J/psi polarization from fixed-target to collider energies

Pietro Faccioli, Carlos Lourenco, Joao Seixas, Hermine Woehri

摘要:

J/psi偏振的大小和“符号”的确定关键取决于数据分析中使用的参考系,并且对偏振现象的充分理解需要在两个“正交”系(例如柯林斯-索普和螺旋度系)中报告测量结果。此外,在某些坐标系中,方位各向异性可以与极坐标各向异性一样显著。E866、HERA-B和CDF报道的看似矛盾的J/psi极化结果可以一致地描述,假设最适合测量的轴是沿着碰撞部分子的相对运动的方向,并且直接产生的J/psi在低动量时是纵向极化的,在高动量时是横向极化的。我们作出了具体的预测,可以测试现有的CDF数据和大型强子对撞机的测量,这应该显示一个完整的横向极化的直接J/psi介子的pT > 25 GeV/c。

英文摘要:

The determination of the magnitude and "sign" of the J/psi polarization crucially depends on the reference frame used in the analysis of the data and a full understanding of the polarization phenomenon requires measurements reported in two "orthogonal" frames, such as the Collins-Soper and helicity frames. Moreover, the azimuthal anisotropy can be, in certain frames, as significant as the polar one. The seemingly contradictory J/psi polarization results reported by E866, HERA-B and CDF can be consistently described assuming that the most suitable axis for the measurement is along the direction of the relative motion of the colliding partons, and that directly produced J/psi's are longitudinally polarized at low momentum and transversely polarized at high momentum. We make specific predictions that can be tested on existing CDF data and by LHC measurements, which should show a full transverse polarization for direct J/psi mesons of pT > 25 GeV/c.
