Inelastic J/ production in polarized photon-hadron collisions
Abstract
Presented here is a calculation of inelastic J/ production in polarized photon-hadron collisions under the framework of NRQCD factorization formalism. We consider the photoproduction of in the energy range relevant to HERA. The Weizs\"acker-Williams approximation is adopted in the evaluation of the cross sections for ep collisions. We found that this process can give another independent test for the color-octet mechanism, and the different features for the two color-octet processes may provide further informations on the mechanism for inelastic photoproduction. And the discrepancy on the production asymmetry A between various sets of polarized gluon distribution functions is also found to be distinctive.
