Based on a general form of the effective vertex functions for the decays of P-wave charmonia $\chicj$, angular distribution formulas for the subsequent decays $\chicj\rightarrow \jpsi \gamma$ and $\jpsi \to \mu^+\mu^-$ are derived. The…
We propose the measurement of the decay angular distribution of leptons from J/Psi's produced at high transverse momentum balanced by a photon [or gluon] in hadronic collisions. The polar and azimuthal angular distribution are calculated in…
We discuss exclusive elastic double diffractive axial-vector $\chi_c(1^+)$ and tensor $\chi_c(2^+)$ mesons production for different meson polarisations in proton-(anti)proton collisions at the Tevatron energy. The amplitude for the process…
We have reconstructed the radiative decays $\chi_{b}(1P) \to \Upsilon(1S) \gamma $ and $\chi_{b}(2P) \to \Upsilon(1S) \gamma $ in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV, and measured the fraction of $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons that…
In this paper, the dilepton electromagnetic decays $\chi_{cJ}(1P) \to J/\psi e^+e^-$ and $\chi_{cJ}(1P) \to J\psi \mu^+\mu^-$, where $\chi_{cJ}$ denotes $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$, are calculated systematically in the improved…
The $\chi_\mathrm{b1}$(3P) and $\chi_\mathrm{b2}$(3P) states are observed through their $\Upsilon$(3S) $\gamma$ decays, using an event sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The data were…
We consider the hadroproduction of chi_{c1} and chi_{c2} mesons and their subsequent radiative decays to J/psi mesons and photons in the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, and study the decay angular…
Analyzing $\Upsilon(nS)$ decays acquired with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR $e^+e^-$ collider, we measure for the first time the product branching fractions ${\cal B}[\Upsilon(nS)\to\gamma\chi_{b}((n-1)P_J)] \times {\cal…
We calculate the partonic cross sections for the hadroproduction of polarized chi_{cJ} mesons using the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic QCD. We also describe how the polarization is passed on to the J/psi mesons in the radiative…
The polar and azimuthal angular distributions for the lepton pair arising from the decay of a J/psi meson produced at transverse momentum p_T balanced by a photon [or gluon] in hadronic collisions are calculated in the color singlet model…
In this work, we study the exclusive decay of $\Upsilon$ into $J/\psi$ in association with $\eta_c$ ($\chi_{c0,1,2}$). The decay widths for different helicity configurations are evaluated up to QCD next-to-leading order within the…
Using 9.32, 5.88 million Upsilon(2S,3S) decays taken with the CLEO-III detector, we obtain five product branching fractions for the exclusive processes Upsilon(2S) => gamma chi_{b0,1,2}(1P) => gamma gamma Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(3S) =>…
Production mechanisms for quarkonium states in hadronic collisions remain difficult to understand. The decay angular distributions of J/$\psi$ or $\Upsilon(nS)$ states into $\mu^+ \mu^-$ final states are sensitive to the matrix elements in…
In the presence of an electric dipole coupling of $t \bar t$ to a photon, and an analogous ``weak" dipole coupling to the $Z$, $CP$ violation in the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow t \bar t$ leads to the polarization of the top and anti-top.…
In the presence of an electric dipole coupling of t-tbar to a photon, and an analogous "weak" dipole coupling to the Z, CP violation in the process e+e- --> t tbar results in modified polarization of the top and anti-top. This polarization…
The comparison of $J/\psi$ photoproduction data in the inelastic region with theoretical predictions based on the NRQCD approach has remained somewhat ambiguous and controversial, in particular at large values of the inelasticity variable…
We examine angular distributions of leptons arising from the decay of J/psi in inclusive hadroproduction. Taking into account feed-down contributions from chi_{1,2}, a flat distribution emerges without fine tuning parameters. Changes in the…
