Soft Color Enhancement of the Production of J/psi's by Neutrinos

Abstract

We calculate the production of J/psi mesons by neutrino-nucleon collisions in fixed target experiments. Soft color, often referred to as color evaporation effects, enhance production cross sections due to the contribution of color octet states. Though still small, J/ψproduction may be observable in present and future experiments like NuTeV and muon colliders.
