Inclusive charm production inΥ(nS)decay

Abstract: Based on the NRQCD factorization formalism, we calculate the inclusive charm production rate in Υ(nS) decay at leading order in the strong coupling constant α s and the relative velocity v of the b quark in the quarkonium rest frame. The branching fractions for Υ(nS) to charm for n = 1, 2, and 3 are all around 7-9%. About 60% of the branching fraction into charm is from annihilation of the color-singlet bb pair into γ * → cc. Most of the remaining branching fraction is from annihilation of the color-singlet bb… Show more

“…BABAR also finds this rate to be considerably in excess (i.e., roughly double) of that expected from bb annihilation into a single photon. The excess is seen to be in agreement with a prediction [606] based on splitting a virtual gluon, but appears to be too small to accommodate an octet-state contribution [607].…”

“…3, manifest a clear excess over the expected single virtual photon contribution, evaluated from the measured D * ± fragmentation function at √ s = 10.5 GeV [16]. The excess is consistent with the rate and shape expected from the splitting for a single virtual gluon, (1.20 ± 0.29)% [17], and disfavors a substantial color octet contribution [18].…”
