Model of charmonium absorption by light mesons

Abstract: We calculate the cross sections for dissociation of J/ψ by pions and ρ-mesons within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that these cross sections are small at center-of-mass energies less than 1 GeV above threshold, and that dissociation rates are less than 0.01 c/fm in a thermal meson gas at temperatures where such a description makes sense.Typeset using REVT E X 1

“…In this paper we use the approach discussed above to evaluate the dissociation cross sections of J/ψ by π and ρ, and compare our results to other theoretical cross sections reported in the literature [12][13][14][15][16]. We also calculate cross sections for the dissociation of ψ ′ by π and ρ, which have not been evaluated elsewhere.…”

“…The dissociation of J/ψ by light mesons has been considered previously by several groups [12][13][14][15][16]. Unfortunately, the numerical cross sections quoted in these references span a considerable range, due largely to different assumptions regarding the dominant scattering mechanism.…”

“…Therefore a precise evaluation of the background, i.e., conventional J/ψ absorption by co-moving pions and ρ mesons [2], is of fundamental importance. Since pions are so abundant in a dense nuclear environment, the reactions π + J/ψ → D + D * (and consequently the coupling g D * Dπ ) are of special relevance [3].…”
