rhad: a program for the evaluation of the hadronic R-ratio in the perturbative regime of QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the fortran program rhad which performs a numerical evaluation of the photon-induced hadronic R-ratio, R(s), related to the cross section for electron-positron annihilation, for a given center-of-mass energy √ s. In rhad the state-of-the-art perturbative corrections to R(s) are implemented and the running and decoupling of the strong coupling constant and the quark masses is automatically treated consistently. Several options allow for a flexible use of the program.

Corrections to the Hadronic Cross Section Near Heavy Quark-Antiquark Thresholds in e+e− Annihilation
It is demonstrated how perturbative O(α2 s ) relativistic corrections to the non-relativistic stable heavy quark-antiquark production cross section in ee annihilation based on a Coulombic QCD potential can be systematically calculated using the concept of effective field theories. The O(αs) corrections from the relativistic energy-momentum relation, the relativistic phase space corrections and ...

This research, works with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. Using, the decay rates of matter-antimatter of b quark was investigated. We described the effective Hamiltonian theory which was applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2), QCD penguin (Q3,…,6), magnetic dipole (Q8) and electroweak penguin (Q7,…,10) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays ...

We used QCD factorization for the hadronic matrix elements to show that the existing data, in particular the branching ratios BR ( ?J/?K) and BR ( ?J/??), can be accounted for this approach. We analyzed the decay within the framework of QCD factorization. We have complete calculation of the relevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3. We calculated this decays in a special scale ...
