We propose to use an internal polarized hydrogen storage cell gas target in the AD ring to determine for the first time the two total spin-dependent pbar-p cross sections sigma_1 and sigma_2 at antiproton beam energies in the range from 50…
There is serious disagreement between the predictions of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) and the data on $J/\psi$ polarisation which has persisted for almost a quarter of a century. We find that if we account for the effect…
The production of charmonia in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is investigated including two sources. These are a primordial contribution coupled with various phases of dissociation, and a statistical coalescence of $c$ and $\bar{c}$…
The decay mode $\psi(2S)\to J/\psi+\gamma\gamma$ is proposed in order to experimentally identify the effects of the coupling of charmonium states to the continuum $D\bar D$ states. To have a better understanding of such a two-photon decay…
The production mechanisms of charmonium states in both hadronic and heavy-ion collisions hold great significance for investigating the hot and dense QCD matter. Studying charmonium polarization in ultra-relativistic collisions can also…
Chiral theories of constituent quarks interacting with bosons and photons at high temperatures are studied. In the expected chirally symmetric phase effective electromagnetic anomalous couplings for e.g. $\pi \sigma \to \gamma \gamma, ~…
Data from J/psi and psi' production in p-A collisions are used to determine the cross section for absorption of pre-resonance charmonium in nuclear matter. The J/psi suppression in O-Cu, O-U and S-U collisions is fully reproduced by the…
In this work, a formalism is presented for the helicity amplitude analysis of the decays $\psi(2S) \to \gamma_1 \chi_{cJ},~ \chi_{cJ} \to \gamma_2 V (V=\rho^0,~\phi,~\omega)$~(the subscript 1,2 is used to distinguish the two radiative…
Charmonium formation via charm quark in-medium recombination in heavy ion interactions at collider energies has the potential to probe some properties of the medium by utilizing the sensitivity of the recombination process to the momentum…
We have observed the reactions p+pbar --> p+X+pbar, with X being a centrally produced J/psi, psi(2S) or chi_c0, and gamma+gamma --> mu+mu-, in proton- antiproton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using the Run II Collider Detector at…
The dominance of chi_0 in the data for e+e- to psi + chi_J(c\bar{c}) is shown to violate OZI factorization. Single gluon exchange gives a non-factorizing effective S.L interaction that generates a large scalar production amplitude. This…
e+e- experiments at charmonium production threshold are reviewed, it is found that the contribution of the continuum process via virtual photon has been neglected in almost all the experiments and most channels analyzed. It is pointed out…
In this work, we calculate the total cross sections and the center-of-mass frame angular distributions of the charmonium production plus a light meson by the low energy $p\bar{p}$ interaction. The results of $p\bar{p}\to \pi^0 \Psi$ with…
We review the search for the quark-gluon plasma using the signal of the suppression of J/psi production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Recent observations of anomalous J/psi suppression in high-energy Pb-Pb collisions observed by the…
The anomalous J/psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at 158A GeV observed recently by NA50 can be explained as due to the transition to a new phase of strong J/psi absorption, which sets in when the local energy density exceeds about 3.4…
Parton percolation provides geometric deconfinement in the pre-equilibrium stage of nuclear collisions. The resulting parton condensate can lead to charmonium suppression. We formulate a local percolation condition viable for non-uniform…
We have analysed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ production in pA and AA collisions. The $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pairs, perturbatively calculable, and (ii) formation of $J/\psi$…
While the prompt J/$\psi$ cross section and polarization have been measured with good precision as a function of transverse momentum, $p_{\rm T}$, those of the directly produced J/$\psi$ are practically unknown, given that the cross…
We show a possible way to construct a consistent formalism where the effective electric charge can change with space and time without destroying the invariance. In the previous work [1][2] we took the gauge coupling to be of the form…
We have measured the polarization of J/Psi and Psi(2S) mesons produced in p\bar{p} collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV, using data collected at CDF during 1992-95. The polarization of promptly produced J/Psi [Psi(2S)] mesons is isolated from…
