Abstract

Using the nonrelativistic QCD(NRQCD) factorization formalism, we calculate the color-singlet cross sections for exclusive production processes e++eJ/ψ+ηc{e^++e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_c}~ and ~e++eJ/ψ+χcJe^++e^-\to J/\psi + \chi_{cJ}~(J=0,1,2)(J=0,1,2) at the center-of-mass energy s\sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV. The cross sections are estimated to be 5.5fb, 6.7fb, 1.1fb, and 1.6fb for ηc,χc0,χc1\eta_c, \chi_{c0}, \chi_{c1} and χc2\chi_{c2}, respectively. The calculated J/ψ+ηcJ/\psi+\eta_c production rate is smaller than the recent Belle data by about an order of magnitude, which might indicate the failure of perturbative QCD calculation to explain the double-charmonium production data. The complete O\cal{O}(αs2)(\alpha^2_{s}) color-singlet cross section for e++eχc0+ccˉ{e^++e^-\to \chi_{c0}+ c\bar {c}} is calculated. In addition, we also evaluate the ratio of exclusive to inclusive production cross sections. The ratio of J/ψηcJ/\psi\eta_c production to J/ψccˉJ/\psi c\bar{c} production could be consistent with the experimental data.
