Higher Orders in the Colour-Octet Model of J/\psi Production

Abstract

We study the hadro- and photo-production of cˉc\bar cc and bˉb\bar bb mesons at low transverse momentum to high orders in the relative velocity of the pair, v, in non-relativistic QCD. We evaluate cross sections to order v^7 for ηc\eta_c, sufficient for studies of photo-production in the almost-elastic region. For all other charmonium states we find the cross section to order v^9, sufficient for studies of the ratio of χc1\chi_{c1} and χc2\chi_{c2} production rates. We find recurrence formulae for generating terms at even higher orders, should they be needed.
