Quark-antiquark contribution to the hadroproduction ofψin the color-singlet model

Abstract
We consider the contribution to ψ hadroproduction due to the elementary subprocess qq¯ψGG. The color-singlet nature and observed spin-parity of the ψ are incorporated and the normalization of the cross section is predicted by the ψ wave function at the origin as measured in the leptonic ψ decay. We expect this process to dominate the difference in ψ production from particle versus antiparticle beams. The energy dependence of ψ production as well as distributions in xF and PT are predicted.
