Abstract

We study contributions from color-octet quarkonium formation mechanisms to p-integrated ψ' production cross sections in pion-nucleon reactions. The observed polarization of the ψ' is not reproduced by the lowest-order leading-twist color-singlet and color-octet mechanisms. This suggests that there are important quarkonium production mechanisms beyond leading twist.
