Angular distribution of inclusive lepton pairs from heavy quarkonium decay

1983

We calculate polar and azimuthal angular distributions of inclusive lepton pairs in the decay $$Q\bar Q(1^{ - - } ) \to 1^ + 1^ - + X$$ from the first order QCD process $$Q\bar Q(1^{ - - } ) \to 1^ + 1^ - + gg$$ . We provide opening angle distributions of the lepton pair in order to assess the measurability of the lepton pairs.
