Leading log radiative corrections to deep inelastic production of heavy quarks
نویسنده
چکیده
O(α) QED radiative corrections to neutral current deep inelastic production of heavy quarks are calculated in the leading log approximation and compared with the corresponding corrections assuming a massless charm parton. Besides the inclusive case, corrections to the semi-inclusive dσ/dxdydz and the effect of z-cuts are studied. In the latter case, the massless corrections differ from the correct massive radiative corrections to deep inelastic heavy quark production by about 40%–10% for 0.2 . z . 0.5.

O(αL) Radiative Corrections to Deep Inelastic ep Scattering
The leptonic QED radiative corrections are calculated in the next-to-leading log approximation O [ α2 ln(Q/me) ] for unpolarized deeply inelastic ep–scattering in the case of mixed variables. The corrections are determined using mass factorization in the OMS– scheme for the double–differential scattering cross sections.
متن کاملStatus of perturbative QCD calculations for deep-inelastic scattering and related processes
We give a brief overview of the status of perturbative QCD calculations for deep-inelastic scattering. The radiative corrections to the Wilson coefficients are generally available to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD and we address the accuracy of the strong coupling constant, the parton distributions of the nucleon and the heavy quark masses which is required for precision predictions. We a...
متن کاملLeading log radiative corrections to polarized heavy flavour leptoproduction
O(α) QED radiative corrections to polarized neutral current leptoproduction of heavy quark flavours are calculated in the leading log approximation for HERMES, COMPASS, and HERA kinematics. Besides the inclusive case, we derive general zh-differential formulae for the polarized boson gluon fusion process and use them to calculate radiative corrections to semi-inclusive polarized heavy flavour p...
متن کاملO(α2L2) radiative corrections to deep inelastic ep scattering for different kinematical variables
The QED radiative corrections are calculated in the leading log approximation up to O(α2) for different definitions of the kinematical variables using jet measurement, the ’mixed’ variables, the double angle method, and a measurement based on θe and yJB. Higher order contributions due to exponentiation of soft radiation are included.
متن کاملSudakov Resummation for Electroproduction of Heavy Quarks
The leading and next-to-leading threshold logarithms of the QCD corrections to electroproduction of heavy quarks in single-particle inclusive kinematics are resummed to all orders in perturbation theory. The resummed cross-section is used to derive the NLO and NNLO results near threshold and their numerical impact on the charm structure function is studied. Talk at the ‘6th International Worksh...
