Mini-Proceedings, 17th meeting of the Working Group on Radiative Corrections and MC Generators for Low Energies

The mini-proceedings of the 17$^{\mathrm{th}}$ Meeting of the "Working Group on Radiative Corrections and MonteCarlo Generators for Low Energies" held in Frascati, 20$^{\mathrm{th}}$ - 21$^{\mathrm{st}}$ April, are presented. These meetings, started in 2006, have as aim to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians working in the fields of meson transition form factors, hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the leptons, and the effective fine structure constant. The development of MonteCarlo generators and Radiative Corrections for precision $e^+e^-$ and $τ$-lepton physics are also covered, with emphasis on meson production. Heavy quark masses were covered as well in this edition.

Production Mechanisms for $B_c$ Mesons in Photon--Photon Collisions

Using photon-photon collisions as a particularly transparent study case we investigate the production mechanisms for $B_c$ mesons. In nonrelativistic approximation and to $O(α^2α_s^2)$ it is shown that recombination of $\bar{b}$- and $c$-quarks dominates by far over $\bar{b}$ and $c$ fragmentation. This dominance persists up to the highest accessible transverse momenta and leads to distributions in energy which differ completely from the spectra expected on the basis of the fragmentation functions. For processes in which a $b \bar{b}$-pair is radiated from a primary $c$-quark, the fragmentation description is found to be inadequate. We anticipate important implications of these results for hadronic production of heavy quark resonances. Using realistic photon spectra we predict two-photon production rates for $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ at present and future $e^+e^-$-machines.
