Abstract

Using the quark-interchange model of Barnes and Swanson, we evaluate the dissociation cross sections for J/ψ and ψ' by π and ρ at low collision energies. In collisions with π mesons near threshold the π+ J/ψ dissociation cross section is predicted to be small, but the π+ψ' cross section is found to be quite large, in qualitative agreement with experimental data on J/ψ and ψ' production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The ρ+ J/ψ and ρ+ ψ' dissociation cross sections are both predicted to be large numerically and are divergent near threshold. These ρ+ J/ψ and ρ+ ψ' cross sections show considerable sensitivity to the mass of the ρ meson if it is off energy shell.
