Bc meson physics

  16. 3. Production (theoretical estimates) • It had not expected the difficulty of Bc production • before our prediction for such `light meson’ Bc • (LUND model is not applicable): • The reliable theoretical prediction (most favorable • mechanism): • At Z0 (LEP-I) Bc can be produced marginally. • Only at very high energy hadronic colliders • (Tevatron and LHC) numerous Bc mesons can be • produced for experimental studies. Bc meson physics

  17. 3a. Production at Z0 (at LEP-I) 微扰因子 We explicitly pointed out LUND model is not applicable and the mechanism should be as the left figure. The key point is the hard gluon & it can be QCD factorized as indicated by the figure. PRD46, (1992) 3845; PLB284,(1992) 127;…… + … Z0 硬胶子 The result is that at Z0 peak for LEP-I several thousands of Bc may be produced per year ! Considering the detecting efficiency, to observe Bc at LEP-I is on the margin. Bc meson physics

  28. 3b. Hadronic Production at Tevatron & LHC Intrinsic charm & bottom mechanisms: Intrinsic charm mechanism (general-mass variable-flavor-number GM-VFN scheme): Gluon-gluon fusion mechanism (in fixed flavor number FFN scheme and in GM-VFN scheme): There is a ‘double counting’ (in GM-VFN scheme) due to structure functions, so one must deduct it when summing up the contributions from the two mechanisms.
