Transverse momentum distributions for heavy quark pairs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the transverse momentum distribution for a pair of heavy quarks produced in hadron-hadron interactions. Predictions for the large transverse momentum region are based on exact order αs QCD perturbation theory. For the small transverse momentum region, we use techniques for all orders resummation of leading logarithmic contributions associated with initial state soft gluon radiation. The combination provides the transverse momentum distribution of heavy quark pairs for all transverse momenta. Explicit results are presented for bb̄ pair production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and for cc̄ pair production at fixed target energies.

Heavy Quark and Quarkonium Transport in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
The strong interaction between heavy quarks and the quark gluon plasma makes the open and hidden charm hadrons be sensitive probes of the deconfinement phase transition in high energy nuclear collisions. Both the cold and hot nuclear matter effects change with the colliding energy and significantly influence the heavy quark and charmonium yield and their transverse momentum distributions. The r...

In this paper, we calculate the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient κT of heavy quark and gluon penetration length in the deconfinement phase of Sakai-Sugimoto model, which is known as a holographic dual of large Nc QCD. We find that for the heavy quark moving through the thermal plasma with a constant velocity v < 1, the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient κT ∝ λγ 1 3 T /Td, and th...
متن کاملTransverse Momentum Distribution in the B Mesons in the Heavy-quark Limit: the Wandzura-wilczek Part
In the heavy-quark limit, the valence Fock-state components in the B mesons are described by a set of two light-cone wavefunctions. We show that these two wavefunctions obey simple coupled differential equations, which are based on the equations of motion in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), and the analytic solutions for them are obtained. The results generalize the recently obtained lo...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production in Quantum Chr.omodynamics’
For very heavy quark masses, the inclusive hadronic production of hadron pairs containing heavy quarks is predicted to be governed by QCD fusion subprocesses. For intermediate mass scales other QCD mechanisms can be important including higher-twist intrinsic contributions and low relative velocity enhancements, possibly accounting for the anomalies observed in charm hadroproduction, such as the...

Studying the production or decay processes of heavy quarkonia (the bound state of heavy quark-antiquark) is a powerful tool to test our understanding of strong interaction dynamics and QCD theory. Fragmentation is the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum. The fragmentation refers to the production process of a parton with high transverse momentum whic...
