It is found that the color-singlet contribution is small and the color-octet contribution may be dominant in the large $p_T$ region. The differential cross section of $p\\bar p\\to\\chi_c+c\\bar{c}$ is at least one order of magnitude smaller than the next-to-leading order result of $\\chi_{cJ}$ inclusive production $p\\bar p\\to\\chi_c+X$, therefore $\\chi_{cJ}$ production in $p\\bar p\\to\\chi_c+c\\bar{c}$ may have negligible influence on the ratio $R_{\\chi_c}=\\frac{\\sigma_{\\chi_{c2}}}{\\sigma_{\\chi_{c1}}}$ measured by CDF at the Tevatron. The feeddown contribution from $\\chi_{cJ}+c+\\bar{c}$ to $J/\\psi+c+\\bar{c}$ is found to be large compared with $J/\\psi$ direct production and may have important influence on the measurement of $J/\\psi+c+\\bar{c}$. The validity of fragmentation approximation for the process is also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-21T17:01:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.60.Le", "14.40.Pq", "12.38.Bx" ], "keywords": [ "hadron colliders", "production", "charm quark pair", "differential cross section", "important influence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 83, "number": 11, "pages": 114037 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 914332, "adsabs": "2011PhRvD..83k4037L" } } }
