• Energy dependence of J/ is sensitive to gluon distribution function and its scale Q

• Our new result and lower-energy results are consistent with typical gluon distribution functions with a reasonable choice of Q confirms the gluon fusion picture of J/ production in hadron-hadron collisions in a wide energy range

2003/09/17 SPIN03 Atsushi Taketani RIKEN/RBRC 22

J/ (absolute value)

• Absolute normalization for J/ is sensitive to production model – Color-evaporation model (CEM)

can explain J/ using J/ (fraction of J/ to all produced cc pairs) ~ 0.06 determined by photo-production data

– Color-singlet model (CSM)

Color singlet production underestimate J/ by a large (~10) factor– Color-octet model (COM)
