We study the exclusive decay of $J/Psi$ into a lepton pair combined with light hadrons in the kinematic region, specified by that the total energy of the light hadrons is much smaller than $m_c$, the mass of the $c$-quark. In this region, the nonperturbaive effect related to $J/Psi$ and that related to the light hadrons can be separated, the former is represented by a NRQCD matrix element, while the later is represented by a matrix element of a correlator of electric chromofields. The results are obtained in a axial gauge by assumming that contributions from two-gluon emmssion are dominant. But we can show that these results can be obtained without the assumption in arbitrary gauges. A discussion of the results are presented.
We present new calculations of the differential decay rates for $Hto ell^+ell^- gamma$ with $ell=e$ or $mu$ in the Standard Model. The branching fractions and forward-backward asymmetries, defined in terms of the flight direction of the photon relative to the lepton momenta, depend on the cuts on energies and invariant masses of the final state particles. For typical choices of these cuts we find the branching ratios $B(Hto e bar e gamma)=5.8cdot 10^{-5}$ and $B(Hto mu bar mu gamma)=6.4cdot 10^{-5}$ and the forward-backward asymmetries $mathcal{A}^{(e)}_{text{FB}}=0.343$ and $mathcal{A}^{(mu)}_{text{FB}}=0.255$. We provide compact analytic expressions for the differential decay rates for the use in experimental analyses.
The cross section for e^+e^- to eta J/psi between sqrt{s}=3.8 GeV/c^2 and 5.3 GeV/c^2 is measured via initial state radiation using 980 fb^{-1} of data on and around the Upsilon(nS)(n=1,2,3,4,5) resonances collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Two resonant structures at the psi(4040) and psi(4160) are observed in the eta J/psi invariant mass distribution. Fitting the mass spectrum with the coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions, one obtains BR(psi(4040)toeta J/psi)cdotGamma_{ee}^{psi(4040)} = (4.8pm0.9pm1.4) eV and BR(psi(4160)toeta J/psi)cdotGamma_{ee}^{psi(4160)} = (4.0pm0.8pm1.4) eV for one solution and BR(psi(4040)toeta J/psi)cdotGamma_{ee}^{psi(4040)} = (11.2pm1.3pm1.9) eV and BR(psi(4160)toeta J/psi)cdotGamma_{ee}^{psi(4160)} = (13.8pm1.3pm2.0) eV for the other solution, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic. This is the first measurement of this hadronic transition mode of these two states, and the partial widths to eta J/psi are found to be about 1 MeV. There is no evidence for the Y(4260), Y(4360), psi(4415), or Y(4660) in the eta J/psi final state, and upper limits of their production rates in e^+e^- annihilation are determined.
The abundant production of lepton pairs via $J/Psi$ creation at COMPASS, $pi ^pm , p^uparrow to J/Psi , X to ell^+ ell^- X$, allows a measurement of the transverse Single Spin Asymmetry generated by the Sivers effect. The crucial issue of the sign change of the Sivers function in lepton pair production, with respect to Semi Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering processes, can be solved. Predictions for the expected magnitude of the Single Spin Asymmetry, which turns out to be large, are given.
The process $H to J/psi + gamma$, where $H$ is the Higgs particle, provides a way to probe the size and the sign of the Higgs-charm coupling. In order to improve the theoretical control of the decay rate, we compute order $v^4$ corrections to the decay rate based on the nonrelativistic QCD factorization formalism. The perturbative calculation is carried out by using automated computer codes. We also resum logarithms of the ratio of the masses of the Higgs boson and the $J/psi$ to all orders in the strong coupling constant $alpha_s$ to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. In our numerical result for the decay rate, we improve the theoretical uncertainty, while our central value is in agreement with previous studies within errors. We also present numerical results for $H to Upsilon(nS) + gamma$ for $n=1,2$, and 3, which turn out to be extremely sensitive to the Higgs bottom coupling.
We calculate the leading-order perturbative contribution to $gamma p to M_{V} p$, with $M_V$ being a $Phi$ or $J/Psi$ meson, in the kinematic region of large energy and scattering angle.
