z-Scaling and Prompt J/psi Production at High-pT in bar pp at Tevatron
/ Authors
/ Abstract
New data on high-pT spectra of J/psi measured by the CDF Collaboration at the Tevatron are analyzed in the framework of z-scaling. F-dependence of z-presentation of the data is used to construct the scaling function of J/psi. The energy independence of the scaling function is used to predict inclusive cross section of prompt J/psi production in bar pp collisions at high-pT. The concept of z-scaling is considered to reflect the general features of high-pT particle production in hadron-hadron and hadron-nucleus collisions. Violation of z-scaling is suggested to consider as a signature of new physics.
