Charm Production in $\bar pA$-Collisions at the Charmonium Threshhold

Abstract

We discuss the production of charmonium states in antiproton-nucleus collisions at the ψ\psi' threshold. It is explained that measurements in pˉA\bar p A collisions will allow to get new information about the strengths of the inelastic J/ψNJ/\psi N and ψN\psi'N interaction, on the production of Λc\Lambda_c and Dˉ\bar{D} in charmonium-nucleon interactions and for the first time about the nondiagonal transitions ψNJ/ψN\psi' N\to J/\psi N. The inelastic J/ψJ/\psi-nucleon cross section is extracted from the comparison of hadron-nucleus collisions with hadron-nucleon collisions. Predictions for the ratio of J/ψJ/\psi to ψ\psi' yields in antiproton-nucleus scatterings close to the threshold of ψ\psi' production for different nuclear targets are presented.
