Abstract
It is proposed that the production of mesons in hadronic collisions occurs via processes involving gluons, and that reactions with charmonium intermediate states play a significant role. The clarity of the observed signal and the differences between production rates of in pion- and nucleon-induced reactions are explained naturally. We calculate the total and differential cross section for producing , and compare to data. Also, we have calculated the decay rates of the states into two gluons; these results may be interesting in their own right.
