摘要
A study of the angular distributions of leptons from decays of J/ψ’s produced in p-C and p-W collisions at \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$\sqrt{s}=41.6\mbox{~GeV}$\end{document} has been performed in the J/ψ Feynman-x region −0.34<xF<0.14 and for J/ψ transverse momenta up to 5.4 GeV/c. The data were collected by the HERA-B experiment at the HERA proton ring of the DESY laboratory. The results, based on a clean selection of 2.3×105J/ψ’s reconstructed in both the e+e− and μ+μ− decay channels, indicate that J/ψ’s are produced polarized. The magnitude of the effect is maximal at low pT. For pT>1 GeV/c a significant dependence on the reference frame is found: the polar anisotropy is more pronounced in the Collins-Soper frame and almost vanishes in the helicity frame, where, instead, a significant azimuthal anisotropy arises.
