The cross section of the process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to p\bar{p}$ in the vicinity of charmonium $\psi (3770)$ including three-gluon and $D$-meson loop contributions

Abstract

The total cross section of the process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to p\bar{p}$ is calculated within the energy range close to the mass of $\psi (3770)$ charmonium state. It was shown that the main contribution to this cross section comes from three gluon mechanism which is also responsible of the large phase with respect to the Born amplitude. This phase provides the characteristic dip behaviour of the cross section in contrast to the usual Breit-Wigner peak shape. OZI-allowed mechanism with D-mesons in the intermediate state was also estimated and gives relatively small contribution to the cross section and to the phase.
