Effects of Higher-Order Threshold Corrections in High-ET Jet Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results for higher-order threshold enhancements in high-E T jet production in hadron-hadron collisions are presented. Expressions are given for the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) threshold corrections to the single-jet inclusive cross section at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The corrections are found to be small for the specific choice of E T /2 for the factorization and renormalization scales, and the corrected cross section shows a substantial reduction of the scale dependence. A comparison to experimental results from the Tevatron is presented.

Production of jets at forward rapidities in hadronic collisions
Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will explore the region of large rapidities both with general-purpose detectors and with dedicated instrumentation, including forward calorimeters and proton taggers [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. The LHC forward-physics program involves a wide range of topics, from new particle discovery processes [3, 8, 9] to new aspects of strong interaction physics [7,...
متن کاملResummed Cross Section for Jet Production at Hadron Colliders
We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the singleinclusive jet cross section at hadron colliders. The corrections we address arise near the threshold for the partonic reaction, when the incoming partons have just enough energy to produce the high-transverse-momentum final state. The structure of the resulting logarithmic corrections is known to depend cruciall...
متن کاملEffects of threshold resummation
We investigate effects of threshold resummation of logarithmic corrections lnN in Mellin space quantitatively. Threshold resummation leads to enhancement of next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for jet production at large jet transverse energy, which is in the trend indicated by experimental data. We show that this enhancement is completely determined by the behavior of threshold resummation a...

Direct photon production and W + jet production are processes of great interest for a number of reasons. Direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions whileW + jet production is relevant for estimating backgrounds to new physics. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic corrections originating from soft g...
متن کاملHadronization Corrections to Jet Cross Sections in Deep-Inelastic Scattering
The size of non-perturbative corrections to high ET jet production in deep-inelastic scattering is reviewed. Based on predictions from fragmentation models, hadronization corrections for different jet definitions are compared and the model dependence as well as the dependence on model parameters is investigated. To test whether these hadronization corrections can be applied to next-to-leading o...
