$D_s$ Asymmetry in Photoproduction

By adopting two models of strange and antistrange quark distributions inside nucleon, the light-cone meson-baryon fluctuation model and the effective chiral quark model, we calculate the $D_s^+ - D_s^-$ asymmetry in photoproduction in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. We find that the effect of asymmetry of strange sea to the $D_s$ asymmetry is considerable and depending on the different models. Therefore, we expect that with the further study in electroproduction, e.g. at HERA and CEBAF, the experimental measurements on the $D_s^+ - D_s^-$ asymmetry may impose a strong restriction on the strange-antistrange distribution asymmetry models.

Ds+ -- Ds- Asymmetry in Photoproduction

Considering of the possible difference in strange and antistrange quark distributions inside nucleon, we investigate the Ds+ -- Ds- asymmetry in photoproduction in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. We adopt two distribution models of strange sea, those are the light-cone meson-baryon fluctuation model and the effective chiral quark model. Our results show that the asymmetry induced by the strange quark distributions is distinct, which is measurable in experiments. And, there are evident differences between the predictions of our calculation and previous estimation. Therefore, the experimental measurements on the Ds+ -- Ds- asymmetry may impose a unique restriction on the strange-antistrange distribution asymmetry models.

The Color-Octet Contributions to $P$-wave $B_c$ Meson Hadroproduction

The contributions from the color-octet components $|(c\bar b)_{\bf 8}(^{1}S_{0}) g>$ and $|(c\bar b)_{\bf 8}(^{3}S_{1}) g>$ to the $h_{B_c}$ or $χ_{B_c}^J$ (the $P$-wave $B_c$ meson) hadroproduction are estimated in terms of the complete ${\cal O}(α_s^4)$ calculation. As necessary inputs in the estimate, we take the values of the octet matrix elements according to the NRQCD scaling rules, and as a result, we have found that the contributions to the $P$-wave production may be the same in order of magnitude as those from the color-singlet ones, $|(c\bar b)_{\bf 1}(^{1}P_{1})>$ and $|(c\bar b)_{\bf 1}(^{3}P_{J})>$ ($J=1,2,3$). Especially, our result indicates that the observation of the color-octet contributions to the $P$-wave production in the low transverse momentum region is not very far from the present experimental capability at Tevatron and LHC.

$J/ψ+ c + \bar{c}$ Photoproduction in $e^+ e^-$ Scattering

We investigate the $J/ψ$ + c + $\bar{c}$ photoproduction in $e^+ e^-$ collision at the LEP II energy. The physical motivations for this study are: 1) such next-to-leading order(NLO) process was not considered in previous investigations of $J/ψ$ photoproduction in $e^+ e^-$ interaction, and it is worthwhile to do so in order to make sound predictions for experimental comparison; 2) from recent Belle experiment results, the process with same final states at the $B$ factory has a theoretically yet unexplainable large fraction; hence it is interesting to see what may happen at other colliders; 3) the existing LEP data are marginal in observing such process, and at the planed Linear Colliders(LCs) this process can be measured with high accuracy; 4) it is necessary to take this process into consideration in the aim of elucidating the quarkonium production mechanism, especially in testing the universality of NRQCD nonperturbative matrix elements via $J/ψ$ photoproduction in electron-position collisions.

Detect ΔG at BNL-RHIC via Double Quarkonium Production

The double spin asymmetry for exclusive $J/ψ$ pair production in the polarized $p-p$ collisions at RHIC is investigated. Our study shows that the asymmetry in this process is measurable at RHIC-SPIN experiments in the near future, and, hence it can be used to determine the gluon distribution function $ΔG (x)$ in the polarized nucleon.

A New Approach for Analytic Amplitude Calculations

We present a method for symbolic calculation of Feynman amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this approach fermion strings in a specific amplitude can be easily evaluated and expressed as basic Lorentz scalars. The new approach renders the symbolic calculation of some complicated physical processes more feasible and easier, especially with the assistance of algebra manipulating codes for computer.

Charm-sea Contribution to High-p_T ψProduction at the Fermilab Tevatron

The direct production of $J/ψ(ψ')$ at large transverse momentum, $p_T \gg M_{J/ψ}$, at the Fermilab Tevatron is revisited. It is found that the sea-quark initiated processes dominate in the high-$p_T$ region within the framework of color-singlet model, which is not widely realized. We think this finding is enlightening for further investigation on the charmonium production mechanism.

B meson light-cone wavefunctions in the heavy quark limit

We present a systematic study of the B meson light-cone wavefunctions in QCD in the heavy-quark limit. We construct model-independent formulae for the light-cone wavefunctions in terms of independent dynamical degrees of freedom, which exactly satisfy the QCD equations of motion and constraints from heavy-quark symmetry. The results demonstrate novel behaviors of longitudinal as well as transverse momentum distribution in the B mesons.

Transverse Momentum Distribution in the B Mesons in the Heavy-quark Limit: the Wandzura-Wilczek Part

In the heavy-quark limit, the valence Fock-state components in the B mesons are described by a set of two light-cone wavefunctions. We show that these two wavefunctions obey simple coupled differential equations, which are based on the equations of motion in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), and the analytic solutions for them are obtained. The results generalize the recently obtained longitudinal-momentum distribution in the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation by including the transverse momenta. We find that the transverse momentum distribution depends on the longitudinal momentum of the constituents, and that the wavefunctions damp very slowly for large transverse separation between quark and antiquark.

J/psi Pair Production at the Tevatron

The double J/psi production in p\bar{p} collision is revisited. It is found that the J/ψpair production rate at leading order with p_T > 4 GeV in conventional scheme is larger than the rate derived from color-octet mechanism by a factor of five. As the double J/psi production is shown to be attainable with data yet collected at the Tevatron detectors, experimental study on it would be helpful to clarify the validity of the conventional color-singlet description for heavy quarkonium production.

B meson light-cone distribution amplitudes in the heavy-quark limit

We investigate the B meson light-cone distribution amplitudes in the heavy-quark limit which are relevant for the QCD factorization approach for the exclusive B meson decays. We derive exact relations between two- and three-particle distribution amplitudes from the QCD equations of motion and heavy-quark symmetry constraint. As solution of these relations, we give representations for the quark-antiquark distribution amplitudes in terms of independent dynamical degrees of freedom. In particular, we find that the Wandzura-Wilczek-type contributions are determined uniquely in analytic form in terms of \barΛ, a fundamental mass parameter of heavy-quark effective theory, and that both leading- and higher-twist distribution amplitudes receive the contributions of multi-particle states with additional gluons.

Double J/ψProduction at Photon Colliders

The double J/ψ(DJ) production in direct photon-photon collision is investigated. It is found that the J/ψproduction rate in this process is of the same order of magnitude as those of previously discussed ones, which hints the dominant J/ψinclusive production process in the direct photon-photon collision is still not being touched. As DJ production process has a clear distinction from the single J/ψinclusive processes in the final states, experimental study on it would be helpful to clarify the validity of color-singlet model.

The production of Charmonium states $\etacp$ and $\hc$ at fixed-target experiment of $pN$ collisions at HERA-$B$ is considered. It is found that the HERA-$B$ at DESY is one of the best machines in further confirming and detecting these two kinds of Charmonia in the near future.
