Observation of Exclusive Charmonium Production and gamma gamma -->mu+mu- in pp-bar Collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV

In CDF we have observed the reactions p+p̅ →p+X+p̅ , with X being a centrally produced J/ψ, ψ(2S), or χ[subscript c0], and γγ→μ[superscript +]μ[superscript -] in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96  TeV. The event signature requires two oppositely charged central muons, and either no other particles or one ad...

520 |a In CDF we have observed the reactions p+p̅ →p+X+p̅ , with X being a centrally produced J/ψ, ψ(2S), or χ[subscript c0], and γγ→μ[superscript +]μ[superscript -] in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96  TeV. The event signature requires two oppositely charged central muons, and either no other particles or one additional photon detected. Exclusive vector meson production is as expected for elastic photoproduction, γ+p→J/ψ(ψ(2S))+p, observed here for the first time in hadron-hadron collisions. We also observe exclusive χ[subscript c0]→J/ψ+γ. The cross sections dσ/dy|[subscript y=0] for J/ψ, ψ(2S), and χ[subscript c0] are 3.92±0.25(stat)±0.52(syst)  nb, 0.53±0.09(stat)±0.10(syst)  nb, and 76±10(stat)±10(syst)  nb, respectively, and the continuum is consistent with QED. We put an upper limit on the cross section for Odderon exchange in exclusive J/ψ production.
