We present a detailed study of the kinematical and dynamical conditions necessary for probing highly elusive three-nucleon short-range correlations (3N-SRCs) in nuclei through inclusive electron scattering. The kinematic requirements that should be satisfied in order to isolate 3N-SRCs in inclusive processes are derived. We demonstrate that a sequence of two short-range NN interactions is the main mechanism for 3N-SRCs in such processes. With this mechanism we predict a quadratic dependence of the cross section ratios of nuclei to $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ in the 3N-SRC region to the same ratio measured in the 2N-SRC domain. An extended analysis of the available data which satisfies the required 3N-SRC kinematical conditions is presented. This analysis reveals tantalizing signatures of the scaling associated with the onset of 3N-SRC dominance. The same data are also consistent with the prediction of the quadratic relation between the ratios measured in the 3N- and 2N-SRC regions for nuclei ranging $4\ensuremath{\le}A\ensuremath{\le}197$. This agreement made it possible to extract ${a}_{3}(A)$, the probability of 3N-SRCs relative to the $A=3$ nucleus. We find ${a}_{3}(A)$ to be significantly larger in magnitude than the analogous parameter, ${a}_{2}(A)$, for 2N-SRCs.

Charmonium production inp̄-induced reactions on nuclei

EPJ Web of Conferences (2014)

A. B. Larionov Marcus Bleicher Albrecht Gillitzer M. Strikman

The production of charmonia in the antiproton-nucleus reactions at plab = 3 − 10 GeV/c is studied within the Glauber model and the generalized eikonal approximation. The main reaction channel is charmonium formation in an antiproton-proton collision. The target mass dependence of the charmonium transparency ratio allows to determine the charmonium-nucleon cross section. The polarization effects in the production of χc2 states are evaluated.

Two-gluon form factor of the nucleon andJ/ψphotoproduction

Physical review. D. Particles, fields, gravitation, and cosmology/Physical review. D. Particles and fields (2002)

We argue that the t-dependence of the two-gluon form factor of the nucleon should be given by $\Gamma(t)=(1-t/m_{2g}^2)^{-2}$ with $m_{2g}^2\approx 1 GeV^2$. We demonstrate that this form provides a good description of the t-dependence of the cross section of the elastic photoproduction of $J/\psi$-mesons between the threshold region of $E_{\gamma}=11 GeV$ (Cornell), $E_{\gamma}=19 GeV$ (SLAC) and $E_{\gamma}=100 GeV$ (FNAL) including the strong energy dependence of the t-slope. It is also well matched with the recent HERA data. The same assumption explains also the t-dependence of $\phi$-meson electroproduction near threshold at $W=2.3 GeV, Q^2=1.0 GeV^2$.
