abstract

The exclusive photoproduction reactions $\gamma p \to J/\psi(1S) p$ and $\gamma p \to \psi(2S) p$ have been measured at an $ep$ centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 373 pb$^{-1}$. The measurement was made in the kinematic range $30 < W < 180$ GeV, $Q^2 < 1$ GeV$^2$ and $|t| < 1$ GeV$^2$, where $W$ is the photon--proton centre-of-mass energy, $Q^2$ is the photon virtuality and $t$ is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The decay channels used were $J/\psi(1S) \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, $\psi(2S) \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\psi(2S) \to J/\psi(1S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ with subsequent decay $J/\psi(1S) \to \mu^+ \mu^-$. The ratio of the production cross sections, $R = \sigma_{\psi(2S)} / \sigma_{J/\psi(1S)}$, has been measured as a function of $W$ and $|t|$ and compared to previous data in photoproduction and deep inelastic scattering and with predictions of QCD-inspired models of exclusive vector-meson production, which are in reasonable agreement with the data.

  1. Diffractive Production of Heavy Quarkonia at the Electron Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Keeping the full gluon transverse momentum in diffractive quarkonium production matches HERA psi(2S)/J/psi ratios better than the standard dipole limit and yields new EIC Upsilon-ratio predictions.

  2. Absorption of $\psi(2S)$ mesons in nuclei

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Near-threshold photoproduction of ψ(2S) mesons on nuclei is predicted to show measurable sensitivity to the unknown ψ(2S)-nucleon absorption cross section, motivating measurements at an upgraded CEBAF.
