在RHIC pp碰撞中QCD对J/psi极化的修正

QCD corrections to J/psi polarisation in pp collisions at RHIC

J. P. Lansberg

摘要:

利用QCD色单重态模型(CSM)对200 GeV的RHIC质子-质子碰撞产生的J/psi极化进行了研究,包括胶子和轻夸克融合产生的次领先级部分子矩阵元和粲夸克引发过程产生的领先级贡献.要做到这一点,我们还评估了相应的截面差异P_T同意定性与PHENIX的测量在中心和前进的地区,在低P_T -例如低于2 GeV -,同时强调需要初始状态辐射(ISR)remmation。在P_T中期,我们还比较了PHENIX和STAR的测量值,它们具有相同的评估值,并补充了优势α S ^5贡献(NNLO*)。我们发现与数据有合理的一致性。关于极化,如以前的研究所示,在更大的sqrt(s)和P_T,从胶子和轻夸克融合的螺旋度框架中的极化图案是在NLO急剧修改,并被证明是越来越纵向。粲胶子融合的产量被发现是轻微的横向极化。结合这两个贡献与数据驱动的范围内的极化J/psi从chi_c,我们最终提供了一个评价的极化的提示J/psi产量这是在一个很好的协议与实验数据从PHENIX的中心和前向区域。

英文摘要:

We update the study of the polarisation of J/psi produced in proton-proton collisions at RHIC at sqrt(s)=200 GeV using the QCD-based Colour-Singlet Model (CSM), including next-to-leading order partonic matrix elements from gluon and light quark fusion and leading-order contributions from charm-quark initiated processes. To do so, we also evaluate the corresponding cross section differential in P_T which agrees qualitatively with the measurements of PHENIX in the central and forward regions at low P_T -- for instance below 2 GeV --, while emphasising the need for Initial State Radiation (ISR) resummation. At mid P_T, we also compare the measurements from PHENIX and STAR with the same evaluation complemented with the dominant alphaS^5 contributions (NNLO*). We find a reasonable agreement with the data. Regarding the polarisation, as shown for previous studies at larger sqrt(s) and P_T, the polarisation pattern from gluon and light quark fusion in the helicity frame is drastically modified at NLO and is shown to be increasingly longitudinal. The yield from charm-gluon fusion is found to be slightly transversally polarised. Combining both these contributions with a data-driven range for the polarisation of J/psi from chi_c, we eventually provide an evaluation of the polarisation of the prompt J/psi yield which is in a good agreement with the experimental data from PHENIX both in the central and forward regions.
