Better angle on hadron transverse momentum distributions at the Electron-Ion Collider

High Transverse Momentum Physics at the Large Hadron Collider

This note summarizes the various physics studies done for the LHC. It concentrates on the processes involving the production of high mass states. Results are drawn from simulations performed by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations. The ability of the LHC to provide insight into the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking is exemplified.

W production at large transverse momentum at the Large Hadron Collider

We study the production of W bosons at large transverse momentum in pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We calculate the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the differential cross section. We find that the NLO corrections provide a large increase to the cross section but, surprisingly, do not reduce the scale dependence relative to leading order (LO). We also calcu...

Transverse-momentum Resummation at Hadron Colliders *

The inclusive production of colourless high-mass systems in hadron collisions is important for physics studies within and beyond the standard model. Well know examples of these processes are the production of lepton pairs, vector boson pairs, Higgs particles and so forth. These processes are either benchmark processes, whose expected rates should be precisely known, or irreducible backgrounds f...

THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL A Transverse-momentum–dependent parton distribution/fragmentation functions at an electron-ion collider

We present a summary of a recent workshop held at Duke University on Partonic Transverse Momentum in Hadrons: Quark Spin-Orbit Correlations and Quark-Gluon Interactions. The transversemomentum–dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs), parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions, and multi-parton correlation functions, were discussed extensively at the Duke workshop. In this paper, we summari...
