Double gluon fragmentation to $J/\psi$ pairs at the Tevatron
Abstract
It has been proposed that the large cross sections for prompt , , and production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider can be explained by a dominant color-octet term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into quarkonium. We show that this mechanism makes testable predictions for double-quarkonium , , , and production, as well as for production, using color-octet matrix elements previously determined from charmonium production data. The signal would already be measurable at the Tevatron, while the and signals would be on the edge of present detectability.
