Abstract

We analyze the exclusive charmonium J/ψ+ηcJ/\psi+\eta_c pair production in e+ee^+e^- annihilation using the nonfactorized perturbative QCD and the light-front quark model(LFQM) that goes beyond the peaking approximation. We effectively include all orders of higher twist terms in the leading order of QCD coupling constant and compare our nonfactorized analysis with the usual factorized analysis in the calculation of the cross section. We also calculate the quark distribution amplitudes, the Gegenbauer moments, and the decay constants for J/ψJ/\psi and ηc\eta_c mesons using our LFQM. Our nonfactorized result enhances the NRQCD result by a factor of 343\sim4 at s=10.6\sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV.
