Abstract

A slow J/ψJ/\psi bump exists in the inclusive BJ/ψ+XB\to J/\psi + X spectrum, while the softness of J/ψJ/\psi spectrum in Υ(1S)J/ψ+X\Upsilon(1S) \to J/\psi + X decay is in strong contrast with expectations from color octet mechanism. We propose {\it intrinsic} charm as the explanation:the former is due to BˉJ/ψDπ\bar B\to J/\psi D \pi,with three charm quarks in the final state; the latter is just a small fraction of Υ(1S)(ccˉ)slow+2\Upsilon(1S) \to (c\bar c)_{\rm slow} + 2"jet" events, where the slow moving ccˉc\bar c system evolves into D()D^{(*)} pairs. Experimental search for these phenomena at B Factories and the Tevatron is strongly urged, as the implications go beyond QCD.

4 pages, REVTEX, 10 eps figures included. Major revision with more discussions on the rescattering background, and a reappraisal of the Upsilon(1S) decay in the presence of intrinsic charm, leading to a change in Title
