Inclusive J/psi production in Upsilon decay via color-octet mechanisms

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-24 v3

Abstract

Calculations for inclusive J/psi production in Upsilon decay through the color-octet mechanisms b\bar b[^3S_1, 1] -> c \bar c[^{2s+1}L_J, 8] + g are presented. It is shown that these O(alpha^5_sv^4_c) contributions compete with other color-octet mechanisms considered in the literature. A critical numerical analysis of the color-octet contributions to Upsilon -> J/psi + X shows that further work in this channel, both theoretical and experimental, is necessary in order to clearly understand the significance of the color-octet component of the c \bar c component inside the J/psi system.
