Abstract

We investigate the O(αs){\cal O}(\alpha_s) corrections to e+eJ/ψ(ψ)+χcJe^+e^-\to J/\psi(\psi')+\chi_{cJ} (J=0,1,2J=0,1,2) in the NRQCD factorization approach. These next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections are calculated at the level of helicity amplitude. We have made a detailed analysis for both polarized and unpolarized cross sections, and compared our predictions with the measurements at the BB factories. We also derive the asymptotic expressions for each of the NLO helicity amplitudes, and confirm the earlier speculation that at NLO in αs\alpha_s, the double logarithm of type ln2(s/mc2)\ln^2 (s/m_c^2) appearing in the NRQCD short-distance coefficient is always associated with the helicity-suppressed channels.
