Description

Next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to double J/ψ production in e+e- annihilation at √(s)=10.6 GeV are calculated. We find that they greatly decrease the cross section, with a K factor (NLO/LO) ranging from -0.31 to 0.25 depending on the renormalization scale. Although the renormalization scale dependence indicates a large uncertainty, when combined with the NLO QCD corrections to J/ψ+ηc production, it can explain why the double J/ψ production could not be found at B factories while the J/ψ+ηc production could, despite the fact that cross section of the former is larger than that of the latter at LO by a factor of 1.8
