Scale Optimisation and Event Shapes in Deep-Inelastic Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the effect of optimising the renormalization and factorisation scales on perturbative calculations of event shape means defined in the Breit frame of ep DIS. Unlike in the case of e+e− event shape means, this has only a small effect on the NLO QCD predictions and a large power correction is still required to fit the data. However, if separate renormalization scales are introduced for the quarkand gluon-initiated sub-processes the optimisation has a much larger effect and greatly reduces the size of the required power corrections. Unfortunately, there are then problems fitting the low energy data for some observables.

5-0290 Session: QCD Hard Interactions Event shapes in deep inelastic ep → eX scattering at HERA Abstract Means and differential distributions of event-shape variables have been studied in neutral current deep inelastic scattering using an integrated luminosity of 82.2pb −1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The kinematic range used was 80 < Q 2 < 20480 GeV 2 and 0.0024 < x < 0.6, where Q...
متن کاملTwo-loop enhancement factor for 1=Q corrections to event shapes in deep inelastic scattering
We compute the two-loop enhancement factors for our earlier one-loop calculations of leading (1=Q) power corrections to the mean values of some event shape variables in deep inelastic lepton scattering. The enhancement is found to be equal to the universal \Milan factor" for those shape variables considered, provided the one-loop calculation is performed in a particular way. As a result, the ph...

متن کاملPower Corrections to Event Shapes in Deep Inelastic Scattering ∗
We investigate the power-suppressed corrections to the mean values of various quantities that characterise the shapes of final states in deep inelastic lepton scattering. Our method is based on an analysis of one-loop Feynman graphs containing a massive gluon, which is equivalent to the evaluation of leading infrared renormalon contributions. As in e + e − annihilation, we find that the leading...

Recent results from the study of hadronic nal states in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are reviewed. Jet shapes from neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are compared to those from e + e ? annihilation and p p collisions. The (2+1) jet event rate distributions R2+1(Q 2) and y2 are measured using the modiied JADE jet algorithm. The value of the strong coupling constant s is determ...
