Feasibility study for the measurement of $\pi N$ transition distribution amplitudes at $\overline P$ANDA in $\bar{p}p\to J/\psi\pi^0$

2016 
The exclusive charmonium production process in p¯p annihilation with an associated π0 meson p¯p→J/ψπ0 is studied in the framework of QCD collinear factorization. The feasibility of measuring this reaction through the J/ψ→e+e- decay channel with the AntiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt (P¯ANDA) experiment is investigated. Simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency as well as the background rejection from various sources including the p¯p→π+π-π0 and p¯p→J/ψπ0π0 reactions are performed with PandaRoot, the simulation and analysis software framework of the P¯ANDA experiment. It is shown that the measurement can be done at P¯ANDA with significant constraining power under the assumption of an integrated luminosity attainable in four to five months of data taking at the maximum design luminosity.
