Abstract

Polarized heavy quarkonium productions in Z⁰ decays are considered. We find that polarizations of the produced quarkonia are independent of that of the parent Z⁰ provided that one considers the energy distribution or the total production rate. Produced J/ψ's via the color-octet and the color-singlet mechanisms are expected to be 19% and 29% longitudinally polarized, respectively. The energy dependence of η_1,8(x) = dΓ_1,8^L/dx/dΓ is very sensitive to the production mechanism, and, therefore, the measurement of η(x)_expt be an independent probe of the color-octet mechanism.
