Search for sub-threshold photoproduction of J/ψ mesons

Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics, Volume 79, No. 1, Article 015209, Year 2009

A search was made for sub-threshold J/ψ production from a carbon target by using a mixed real and quasireal Bremsstrahlung photon beam with an endpoint energy of 5.76 GeV. No events were observed, which is consistent with predictions under the assumption of quasifree production. The results place limits on exotic mechanisms that strongly enhance quasifree production. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
