Abstract

To understand the direct J/ψ+XnonccˉJ/\psi+X_{\mathrm{non-c\bar{c}}} production mechanism in e+ee^{+}e^{-} annihilation, in this work, we propose to measure the inclusive J/ψJ/\psi plus light hadrons (LH) production at B-factories and present a detailed study on its QED production due to ψ(2S)\psi(2S) feed-down, where the ψ(2S)\psi(2S) are produced in e+eψ(2S)+γe^{+}e^{-}\to \psi(2S)+\gamma and e+eψ(2S)+ffˉ,f=lepton,lightquarke^{+}e^{-}\to \psi(2S)+f\bar{f}, f=lepton,light quark, and QED contribution to direct J/ψ+qqˉJ/\psi+q\bar{q} production with q=u,d,sq=u,d,s quark. We find that the QED contribution is huge in the whole phase space region, but can be reduced largely and is in the same order as the QCD contribution when a suitable cut on the angel θJ/ψ\theta_{J/\psi} between J/ψJ/\psi and the e+ee^{+}e^{-} beam is made. In this way, the cross section of J/ψ+LHJ/\psi+LH QCD production %which was predicted theoretical at next-to-leading order QCD together with relativistic correction, can be obtained by subtracting the QED contribution from the experimental measurement on inclusive J/ψJ/\psi plus light hadrons. To help to remove the QED background, we also calculate the angular and momentum distribution of J/ψJ/\psi in the QED contribution.
