e⁺e^- annihilation into J/ψ + J/ψ

A significant part of the dicrepancy between experiment and theory which may be attributable to the proces e⁺e^- annihilation into J/ψ+J/ψ, where J/ψ is the lowest spin-triplet chromonium state is discussed. This process is overlooked because it is suppressed by α²/α_s², where α is the quantum electrodynamic (QED) coupling and α_s is the QCD coupling. However, as it is shown, this process is enhanced by a kinematic factor that is assoicated witht he fragmentation of photons into cc̄ pairs.
