Threshold photo-production of $J/\Psi$ off light nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2024-07-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We analyze threshold photoproduction of heavy mesons off a deuteron and Helium-4, using the QCD factorization method. Assuming large skewness, the production amplitude is dominated by the leading twist-2 gluonic energy-momentum tensor (EMT). We use our recent results for the gluonic gravitational form factors of light nuclei in the impulse approximation, to estimate the differential cross sections for J/ΨJ/\Psi production off a deuteron and Helium-4 at current electron facilities.
