  21. J/ (s dependence) • 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 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) Consistent using the color octet matrix element <OJ/8(1S0)>+7/Mc2< OJ/8(3P0)> = 0.02 GeV3 from photo-production data, but has large uncertainties from • Extraction of color-octet matrix element • Charm quark mass • Factorization and renormalization scales Atsushi Taketani RIKEN/RBRC
