Associated Production of Υ and Weak Gauge Bosons in Hadron Colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the rate of production of W + Υ and Z0 + Υ in hadron colliders. We find the cross sections for W + Υ and Z0 + Υ to be roughly 0.45 pb and 0.15 pb at the Tevatron and roughly 4 pb and 2 pb at the LHC. The dominant production mechanism involves the binding of a color-octet bb̄ pair into a P-wave bottomonium state which subsequently decays into Υ. The purely leptonic decay modes of Υ, W, and Z0 provide signatures with small backgrounds. These events may be observable in Run II at the Tevatron, and they should certainly be observable at the LHC. Typeset using REVTEX

Radiation zeros in weak boson production processes at hadron colliders
The Standard Model amplitudes for processes where one or more gauge bosons are emitted exhibit zeros in the angular distributions. The theoretical and experimental aspects of these radiation amplitude zeros are reviewed and some recent results are discussed. In particular, the zeros of the WZγ and WZZ production amplitudes are analyzed. It is briefly explained how radiation zeros can be used to...
متن کاملWeak Gauge Boson Radiation in Parton Showers
The emission of W and Z gauge boson is included in a traditional QCD + QED shower. The unitarity of the shower algorithm links the real radiation of the weak gauge bosons to the negative weak virtual corrections. The shower evolution process leads to a competition between QCD, QED and weak radiation, and allows for W and Z boson production inside jets. Various effects on LHC physics are studied...
متن کاملWeak effects in b-jet production at hadron colliders
One of the main challenges of the Tevatron at Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the determination of Standard Model (SM) parameters at the TeV scale. In this context various processes will be investigated which involve bottom-quark jets in the final state, for example decays of top-quarks or gauge bosons of the weak interaction. Hence the theoretical understanding of proce...
متن کاملOne-loop weak corrections to γ/Z hadro-production at finite transverse momentum
We illustrate the effects of one-loop weak corrections onto the production of neutral gauge bosons of the Standard Model at RHIC-Spin, Tevatron and LHC, in presence of quark/gluon radiation from the initial state. We find such effects to be rather large, up to O(10 − 20%) in typical observables at all such colliders, where the cross section is measurable, thus advocating their inclusion in prec...
متن کاملProbing Trilinear Gauge Boson Couplings at Colliders
A direct measurement of the trilinear WW and WWZ couplings is possible in the pair production of electroweak bosons at e + e ? and hadron colliders. This talk addresses some of the theoretical issues: the parameterization of \anomalous couplings" in terms of form factors and eeective Lagrangians, the complementary information which can be obtained in e + e ? vs. hadron collider experiments, and...
