Deciphering the mechanism of near-threshold J/psi photoproduction
read the original abstract
The photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ off the proton is believed to deepen our understanding of various physics issues. On the one hand, it is proposed to provide access to the origin of the proton mass, based on the QCD multipole expansion. On the other hand, it can be employed in a study of pentaquark states. The process is usually assumed to proceed through vector-meson dominance, that is the photon couples to a $J/\psi$ which rescatters with the proton to give the $J/\psi p$ final state. In this Letter, we provide a compelling hint for and propose measurements necessary to confirm a novel production mechanism via the $\Lambda_c \bar D^{(*)}$ intermediate states. In particular, there must be cusp structures at the $\Lambda_c \bar D^{(*)}$ thresholds in the energy dependence of the $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross section. The same mechanism also implies the $J/\psi$-nucleon scattering lengths of order 1 mfm. Given this, one expects only a minor contribution of charm quarks to the nucleon mass.

Near-Threshold OPE Constraints and High-Energy Diffractive Dynamics in J/psi Photoproduction
Leading-twist convolution with small-x singular PDFs matches threshold J/ψ data but requires eikonal unitarization fitted to HERA to cover the full energy range, with the dispersive real part dominating near threshold.

Decoding the near-threshold $X_{0,\,1}(4140)$ and $X_{1}(4685)$ states via OZI-suppressed coupled-channel scattering
X0(4140) is a dynamically generated J/psi phi pole with single-channel scattering length 1.11 fm; X1(4685) is interpreted as a psi(2S) phi hadronic molecule under heavy quark spin symmetry.

Nonexistence of hidden-charm pentaquarks in $J/\psi$ photoproduction
Hidden-charm pentaquarks do not appear in J/ψ photoproduction because rescattering from ar{D}^{(*)}Σ_c intermediate states is suppressed relative to ar{D}^{(*)}Λ_c by a factor of roughly five in the relevant couplings.

Near-Threshold OPE Constraints and High-Energy Diffractive Dynamics in J/psi Photoproduction
Forward exclusive J/psi photoproduction is described from threshold to HERA energies using leading-twist Coulombic OPE with target-mass corrections and a covariance-aware Regge fit, though a data gap prevents determin...

Near-Threshold OPE Constraints and High-Energy Diffractive Dynamics in J/psi Photoproduction
Near-threshold J/psi photoproduction data are compatible with the OPE energy dependence, but cannot distinguish target-mass-corrected from uncorrected predictions or locate the transition to high-energy diffraction.
