Colorless States in Perturbative QCD: Charmonium and Rapidity Gaps
We point out that an unorthodox way to describe the production of rapidity gaps in deep inelastic scattering, recently proposed by Buchmüller and Hebecker, suggests a description of the production of heavy quark bound states which is in agreement with data. The approach questions the conventional treatment of the color quantum number in perturbative QCD.
