We observe that the transition of J/psi N to VN with V being a light vector, rho, omega, phi, together with the inelastic channels, J/psi N -> (D) over bar Lambda(c) and J/psi N -> (D) over bar Sigma(c), leads to a particular shape of the inelastic cross section. Analogously, we consider the mechanisms where the exchanged D collides with a nucleon and gives pi Lambda(c) or pi Sigma(c). The cross section has a peak around root s = 4415 MeV, where the J/psi N couples to a resonance predicted recently. We study the transparency ratio for electron-induced J/psi production in nuclei at about 10 GeV and find that 30-35{\%} of the J/psi produced in heavy nuclei are absorbed inside the nucleus. This ratio is in line with depletions of J/psi through matter observed in other reactions.", optnote="WOS:000306191500005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1100), last updated on Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:48:09 +0000", issn="0556-2813", doi="10.1103/PhysRevC.86.014604", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.0979", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.86.014604", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1203.0979", language="English" }
