We report on the measurement of the $\gamma p \rightarrow J/\psi p$ cross section from $E_\gamma = 11.8$ GeV down to the threshold at $8.2$ GeV using a tagged photon beam with the GlueX experiment. We find the total cross section falls toward the threshold less steeply than expected from two-gluon exchange models. The differential cross section $d\sigma /dt$ has an exponential slope of $1.67 \pm 0.39$ GeV$^{-2}$ at $10.7$ GeV average energy. The LHCb pentaquark candidates $P_c^+$ can be produced in the $s$-channel of this reaction. We see no evidence for them and set model-dependent upper limits on their branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(P_c^+ \rightarrow J/\psi p)$ and cross sections $\sigma(\gamma p \to P_c^+)\times\mathcal{B}(P_c^+ \to J/\psi p) $.

  1. Meson-Nucleus Bound States with Neural-Network Quantum States

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Neural-network quantum states applied to HAL QCD meson-nucleon potentials predict bound states for phi at A>=2, J/psi at A>=4, and eta_c at A>=6, with binding energies from tens of MeV to sub-MeV scales.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Spin-resummed holographic QCD unifies near-threshold GFF and high-energy pomeron regimes for heavy quarkonium photoproduction and shows fixed-spin GFF extraction is not controlled.

    The M1 radiative decay width Pc(4457)(3/2-) → Pc(4312)(1/2-)γ is computed as 6.7 keV (range 2-9 keV) via 19 triangle loops with photon coupling to molecular components.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The u-channel Lambda_c exchange enhances rescattering via Dbar(*) Sigma_c states in the piN to J/psiN reaction, producing clear peaks for Pc(4312) (1/2^-) and Pc(4457) (3/2^-) at microbarn cross sections while suppres...

  5. Near-Threshold OPE Constraints and High-Energy Diffractive Dynamics in J/psi Photoproduction

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  6. Nonexistence of hidden-charm pentaquarks in $J/\psi$ photoproduction

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

    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...
