QCDINS 2.0 – A Monte Carlo generator for instanton-induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering ?

چکیده

We describe a Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering (HERA). The QCDINS package is designed as an “add-on” hard process generator interfaced to the general hadronic event simulation package HERWIG. It incorporates the theoretically predicted production rate for instanton-induced events as well as the essential characteristics that have been derived theoretically for the partonic final state of instanton-induced processes: notably, the flavour democratic and isotropic production of the partonic final state, energy weight factors different for gluons and quarks, and a high average multiplicity O(10) of produced partons with a Poisson distribution of the gluon multiplicity. While the subsequent perturbative evolution of the generated partons is always handled by the HERWIG package, the final hadronization step may optionally be performed also by means of the general hadronic event simulation package JETSET.

QCD Instanton-induced Processes in Deep-inelastic Scattering - Search Strategies and Model Dependencies

We investigate possible search strategies for QCD-instanton induced processes at HERA in the deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) regime. Our study is based on the Monte Carlo generator QCDINS for instanton-induced events and the standard generators for normal DIS events. It appears possible to isolate an instanton enriched data sample via an optimized multi-dimensional cut scenario for a set of six...

Search for Qcd-instantons at Hera

Signals of QCD instanton induced processes are searched for in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA in a kinematic region defined by the Bjorken scaling variables x > 10 −3 , 0.1 < y < 0.6 and polar angle of the scattered positron θ el > 156 •. Upper limits are derived from the expected instanton-induced final state properties based on the QCDINS Monte Carlo model. After initial work by Balitsk...

We present a status report of our systematic theoretical and phenomenological study of QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering. We show that this regime plays a distinguished rôle for studying manifestations of QCD-instantons, since the typical hard momentum scale Q provides a dynamical infrared cuto for the instanton size < O(1=Q). For deep-inelastic scattering at HERA, we...

Probing QCD-instanton induced effects in deep inelastic scattering at HERA

After a brief introduction into the phenomenology of instantons, results from instanton perturbation theory applied to deep-inelastic electron proton scattering are summarized. Based on event signatures derived from Monte Carlo studies, strategies for enhancing instanton induced events relative to Standard Model deep-inelastic events are developed. Preliminary results for a search for such even...

We present a method to discriminate instanton-induced processes from standard DIS background based on Range Searching. This method offers fast and automatic scanning of a large number of variables for a combination of variables giving high signal to background ratio and the smallest theoretical and experimental uncertainties. INSTANTON-INDUCED PROCESSES Instantons (1) are a fundamental non-pert...
