Hadroproduction of the Jψ and ψ′ states has been studied in 300-GeV/c proton, antiproton, and π±Li interactions. Both total and differential cross sections in xF and pT have been measured for the Jψ for the π±, proton, and antiproton interactions. The ratio of ψ′ to Jψ production has been determined for the four types of beam particles.

The production of the χ1 and χ2 states of charmonium has been observed in 300 GeV/c π±N and pN interactions. The fraction of the total inclusive J/ψ production due to radiative χ decay has been determined to be 0.40±0.04, 0.37±0.03, and 0.30±0.04 for the π+, π−, and proton data, respectively. Total cross sections have been obtained of 131±18±14 and 188±30±21 nb/nucleon in the 300 GeV/c π−N interactions for χ1 and χ2 production. By measuring the contributions to the J/ψ production due to both ψ’ and radiative χ decay, the cross sections for direct J/ψ production have been determined to be 97±14, 102±14, and 89±12 nb/nucleon for π+, π−, and protons, respectively.

We present a measurement and comparison of the χc1 and χc2 production cross sections determined from interactions of 300-GeV/c π± and p with a Li target. We find χc1χc2 production ratios of 0.52−0.27+0.57 and 0.08−0.15+0.25 from reactions induced by π± and p, respectively.
The cross section per nucleon.
The cross section per nucleon. The differential cross section is fitted by the equation : D(SIG)/D(PT**2)= CONST*EXP(SLOPE*PT), D(SIG)/D(XL) = CONST*(1-(XL-CONST(C=X0))**2)**POWER(C=1) , and D(SIG)/D(XL) = CONST*(1-ABS(XL-CONST(C=XC)))**POWER(C=2).
The cross section per nucleon. The differential cross section is fitted by the equation : D(SIG)/D(COS(THETA)) = CONST*(1+CONST*COS(THETA)**2), where THETA is the angle between the MU+ and beam momentum in the CHI/C rest frame.
