The analysis is performed using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of about 800 pb-1 collected by the CDF II detector. For both vector mesons, we find that the polarizations become increasingly longitudinal as pT increases from 5 to 30 GeV/c. These results are compared to the predictions of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics and other contemporary models. The effective polarizations of J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons from B-hadron decays are also reported. date: 2007-09-26 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.132001 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: Manually entered elements_id: 92415 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.132001 lyricists_name: BIZJAK, ILIJA lyricists_name: Cooper, Ben lyricists_name: Lancaster, Mark lyricists_name: Nurse, Emily lyricists_name: Torre, Stefano lyricists_name: Waters, David lyricists_id: IBIZJ81 lyricists_id: BDCOO72 lyricists_id: MALAN32 lyricists_id: ELNUR41 lyricists_id: STORR86 lyricists_id: DSWAT56 full_text_status: public publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 99 number: 13 article_number: 132001 issn: 0031-9007 citation: Lancaster, M; Nurse, E; Waters, DCDFC; (2007) Polarizations of J / ψ and ψ ( 2 S ) Mesons Produced in p ¯ p Collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV.
