Abstract

We investigate the O(αsv2){\mathcal O}(\alpha_s v^2) correction to the e+eJ/ψ+ηce^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_c process in the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization approach. Within some reasonable choices of the relative order-v2v^2 NRQCD matrix elements, we find that including this new ingredient of correction only mildly enhances the existing NRQCD predictions. We have also deduced the asymptotic expressions for the O(αsv2){\mathcal O}(\alpha_s v^2) short-distance coefficients, and reconfirm the early speculation that at next-to-leading order in αs\alpha_s, the double logarithm of type ln2(s/mc2)\ln^2 (s/m_c^2) appearing in various NRQCD short-distance coefficients is always associated with the helicity-suppressed channels.
