Muoproduction ofJ/ψ and the gluon distribution of the nucleon

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Measurements are presented of the inclusive distributions of theJ/Ψ meson produced by muons of energy 200 GeV from an ammonia target. The gluon distribution of the nucleon has been derived from the data in the range 0.04<x<0.36 using a technique based on the colour singlet model. An arbitrary normalisation factor is required to obtain a reasonable integral of the gluon distribution. Some comments are made on the use ofJ/Ψ productionby virtual photons to extract the gluon distribution at HERA.
