TTP08-10 Ghost contributions to charmonium production in polarized high-energy collisions.

In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. D 68, 034017 (2003)], we investigated the inclus ive production of prompt J/psi mesons in polarized hadron-hadron, photon-hadron,

and photon-photon collisions in the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic

quantum chromodynamics providing compact analytic results for the double longitu dinal-spin asymmetry A_{LL}. For convenience, we adopted a simplified expression

for the tensor product of the gluon polarization four-vector with its charge co

njugate, at the expense of allowing for ghost and anti-ghosts to appear as exter nal particles. While such ghost contributions cancel in the cross section asymme try A_{LL} and thus were not listed in our previous paper, they do contribute to

the absolute cross sections. For completeness and the reader's convenience, the

y are provided in this addendum.
