Heavy Quark Impact Factor at Next - to - leading Level ∗
We further analyze the definition and the calculation of the heavy quark impact factor at next-to-leading (NL) log s level, and we provide its analytical expression in a previously proposed k-factorization scheme. Our results indicate that k-factorization holds at NL level with a properly chosen energy scale, and with the same gluonic Green’s function previously found in the massless probe case.
متن کاملHeavy-quarkonium Production at Next-to-leading Order
The factorization formalism of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) provides a rigorous theoretical framework for the description of heavy-quarkonium production and decay that is renormalizable and predictive.1 Theoretical predictions are decomposed into sums over products of short-distance coefficients, which can be calculated perturbatively as expansions in the strong-coupling const...
متن کاملTransverse parton distribution functions at next-to-next-to-leading order: the quark-to-quark case.
We present a calculation of the perturbative quark-to-quark transverse parton distribution function at next-to-next-to-leading order based on a gauge invariant operator definition. We demonstrate for the first time that such a definition works beyond the first nontrivial order. We extract from our calculation the coefficient functions relevant for a next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic Q...
متن کاملHeavy quark diffusion in QCD and N=4 SYM at next-to-leading order
We present the full details of a calculation at next-to-leading order of the momentum diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark in a hot, weakly coupled, QCD plasma. Corrections arise at O(gs); physically they represent interference between overlapping scatterings, as well as soft, electric scale (p ∼ gT ) gauge field physics, which we treat using the hard thermal loop (HTL) effective theory. In 3...
متن کاملNext-to-leading-order corrections to meson masses in the heavy quark effective theory.
We use the QCD sum rule approach to calculate the splitting between vector and pseudoscalar mesons containing one light and one heavy quark, and the kinetic energy of the heavy quark. Our result for the splitting induced by the chromomagnetic interaction agrees to the experimental data on charm and beauty mesons. For the matrix element of the kinetic energy operator, we obtain the value K = −(0...
