Abstract

The J/ψ photoproduction via resolved photon process at HERA is studied. It turns out that the J/ψ production is dominated by the leading order production process in low pt range (pt < 4 GeV), while in the high pt range (pt > 4 GeV), it is dominated by the fragmentation processes. The difference of J/ψ cross section caused by using GRV and DO photon structure functions is large, especially in the large negative rapidity range. Hence it is possible to use the J/ψ photoproduction process to probe the parton distribution of photon and proton, as well as to test the gluon and heavy quark fragmentation of J/ψ from the perturbative QCD.
