Next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_c$ at $B$ factories

Within the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework, we compute the long-awaited ${\mathcal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ correction for the exclusive double charmonium production process at $B$ factories, i.e., $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_c$ at $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. For the first time, we confirm that NRQCD factorization does hold at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) for exclusive double charmonium production. It is found that including the NNLO QCD correction greatly reduces the renormalization scale dependence, and also implies the reasonable perturbative convergence behavior for this process. Our state-of-the-art prediction is consistent with the BaBar measurement.
