Abstract

We consider the energy and the polar angle distributions of J/ψ's produced via the color-singlet and the color-octet (3S1(8)) mechanisms in Z0 J/ψ+X at LEP. Since both distributions of the J/ψproduced via color-octet mechanism are significantly different from those via color-singlet mechanism, these observables can be used as tests of color-octet production mechanism for heavy quarkonia. We also discuss Z0 → Υ+ X and W J/ψ( or Υ) + X in brief.
