Large-s Behavior of Total Cross Sections in Perturbative
نویسنده
چکیده
Reported is a factorization theorem for large-s behavior of total cross sections obtained in a straightforward fashion from ordinary perturbation theory. The theorem extends the standard factorization results for the Bjorken and Drell-Yan processes. The obtaining of useful evolution equations is found to be problematic. A by-product is a direct method for systematic calculations of the parton evolution kernels.

An analytical treatment of the electron screening effect within an active-electron model is given for positronium formation from helium atoms. A first-order distorted wave approximation with correct boundary conditions is applied to evaluate the transition amplitude. In the range of impact energy for which the introduced perturbative approach is valid, both the total and differential cross sect...

Perturbative QCD calculations of total cross sections and decay widths in hard inclusive processes A summary of the current understanding of methods of analytical higher order perturbative computations of total cross sections and decay widths in Quantum Chromodynamics is presented. As examples, the quantities σ tot (e + e − → hadrons), Γ(τ − → ν τ + hadrons) and Γ(H → hadrons) up to O(α 2 s) an...

A calculation of the total cross section for top quark production in hadronhadron collisions is presented based on an all-orders perturbative resummation of initial-state gluon radiative contributions to the basic quantum chromodynamics subprocesses. Principal-value resummation is used to evaluate all relevant large threshold contributions. In this method there are no arbitrary infrared cutoffs...
متن کاملSaturation Effects in Diffractive Scattering at Lhc Energies
Unitarization schemes can be reduced to non-linear equations which saturate at small b the evolution of the elastic amplitude with s, and which mimic parton saturation in the non-perturbative regime. These equations enable us to study the effect of saturation on total and elastic cross sections for various models, and to evaluate the uncertainties on σtot and ρ(s, t) at the LHC in the presence ...
متن کاملThe s-channel approach to Lipatov’s pomeron and hadronic cross sections
We derive a generalized Balitskii-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov equation, which applies directly to the perturbative QCD component of total cross section. With the gluon correlation radius Rc ∼ 0.4fm we reproduce the empirical rate of growth of the hadron-nucleon total cross sections. The simultaneous estimate of the triple-pomeron coupling also agrees with the experiment. To be published in: JETP Lette...
