Description

We systematically calculate the relativistic corrections to prompt J/ψ photoproduction and hadroproduction using the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic QCD. Specifically, we include the 3S1[1] and 3PJ[1] color-singlet and the 3S1[8], 1S0[8], and 3PJ[8] color-octet channels as well as the effects due to the mixing between the 3S1[8] and 3D1[8] channels. We provide all the squared hard-scattering amplitudes in analytic form. Assuming the NRQCD long-distance matrix elements to satisfy the velocity scaling rules, we find the relativistic corrections to be appreciable, except in the 3S1[1] color-singlet channel of hadroproduction. We also observe significant differences in the lineshapes of the relativistic corrections between photoproduction and hadroproduction.
