By means of two typical sets of nuclear parton distribution functions, meanwhile taking account of the energy loss of the beam proton and the nuclear absorption of the charmonium states traversing the nuclear matter in the uniform framework of the Glauber model, a leading order phenomenological analysis is given in the color evaporation model of the E866 experimental data on J/ψ production differential cross section ratios R Fe/Be (xF). It is shown that the energy loss effect of beam proton on R Fe/Be (xF) is more important than the nuclear effects on parton distribution functions in the high Feynman variable xF region. It is found that the J/ψ-nucleon inelastic cross section depends on the Feynman variable xF and increases linearly with xF in the region xF > 0.2.No. 9 DUAN Chun-Gui et al: The dependence of J/ψ-nucleon inelastic cross section on the Feynman variable 805
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
