Abstract

The production of prompt J/ψ, ψ(2S), χc1, and χc2 is studied using a 32.4fb1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at ϒ(4S) and at 60MeV below the resonance. The yield of prompt J/ψ mesons in the ϒ(4S) sample is compatible with that of continuum production; we set an upper limit B(ϒ(4S)J/ψX)<1.9×104 at the 95% confidence level, and find σ(e+eJ/ψX)=1.47±0.10±0.13pb. The cross sections for prompt ψ(2S) and direct J/ψ are measured. The J/ψ momentum spectrum, production angle distribution, and polarization are studied.
