Production of exotic charmonium in heavy ion collisions

We present a short review of exotic charmonium production in heavy ion collisions. We discuss predictions for the production cross section of several of these states in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The experimental study of these processes is feasible and can be used to yield valuable information about the structure of multiquark states. We also address X(3872) production in central Pb-Pb collisions. In particular, we discuss the suppression of X(3872) during the hadron gas phase. Finally, we comment on the very recent CMS data on the X(3872) yield in Pb-Pb collisions. the very recent CMS data on the X(3872) yield in Pb-Pb collisions.

Double Charmonium Productions in Electron-Positron Annihilation Using Bethe-Salpeter Approach

We calculate the double charmonium production cross-section within the framework of 4×4 Bethe-Salpeter Equation in the electron-positron annihilation, at center of mass energy s=10.6GeV, that proceeds through the exchange of a single virtual photon. In this calculation, we make use of the full Dirac structure of 4D BS wave functions of these charmonia, with the incorporation of all the Dirac covariants (both leading and subleading). The calculated cross-sections for the double charmonium productions for final states, (J/Ψ,ηc), (Ψ′,ηc), (J/Ψ,ηc′), and (Ψ′,ηc′), are close to experimental data and in broad agreement with results of other theoretical models.
