Abstract: (APS)
The differential cross section dσ/dq2 of diffractive electroproduction of heavy quarkonia on protons is a sensitive study tool for the interaction dynamics within the dipole representation. Knowledge of the transverse momentum transfer q→ provides a unique opportunity to identify the reaction plane, due to a strong correlation between the directions of q→ and impact parameter b→. On top of that, the elastic dipole-proton amplitude is subject to a strong correlation between b→ and dipole orientation r→. Most of models for b-dependent dipole cross sections either completely miss this information, or make unjustified assumptions. We perform calculations basing on a realistic model for r→-b→ correlation, which significantly affect the q dependence of the cross section, in particular the ratio of ψ′(2S) to J/ψ(1S) yields. We rely on realistic potential models for the heavy quarkonium wave function and the Lorentz-boosted Schrödinger equation.Note:
