A study of relativistic corrections to J/→ pp decay

Abstract

We study relativistic corrections in exclusive S-wave charmonium decays into proton-antiproton final state. We calculate the NRQCD corrections to the dominant decay amplitude, which depend on the nucleon twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes only. It is shown that in this case the collinear factorisation is also valid beyond the leading-order approximation. Our numerical estimates show that relativistic correction of relative order v2 provides large numerical impact.
