Color-Octet Contribution to $J/ψ$ Hadroproduction with Nonzero $p_T$ at Fixed Target Energies
We calculated the color-octet contribution to the $\ps$ hadroproduction at fixed target energies $\sqrt(s)\simeq40$ GeV. We consider the $\ps$ production with transverse momenta which can not be explained by primordial motion of partons, $p_T>1.5$ GeV. It is shown that color octet contribution is dominant at these energies and reduces large dicrepancies between experimental data and color singlet model predictions. Having taken into account both contribution one needs a K-factor about 2-3 to explain the experimental data.
