Apparent Excess in e+e− → hadrons
نویسنده
چکیده
We have studied measurements of the cross section for e+e− → hadrons for centerof-mass energies in the range 20–209 GeV. We find an apparent excess over the predictions of the Standard Model across the whole range amounting to more than 4σ. As an example, we compare the data to predictions for a light scalar down-type quark which fit the excess well.

Elusive vector glueball
While theorists expect that the glueballs exist as the flavorless hadrons made of gluons alone, the predicted masses vary from lattice QCD [1] to phenomenological models such as the bag-type model [2] and a naive constituent model [3]. Experiment provided a few candidates for the ground-state glueball of J = 0 in the past, but no consensus has been reached. The glueball O of 1−− is made of thre...

Quark models of the two-nucleon interaction are reviewed with particular emphasis on calculations in the MIT bag model. 1. Present Status of Quantum Chromodynamics High energy physicists have grown increasingly optimistic in recent years that the gauge theory of colored quarks and gluons, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), will prove to be the underlying theory of hadronic interactions. Although the...
متن کاملin γ ∗ γ ∗ → Hadrons at LEP 2
We compute the order-α S corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates in γ * γ * → hadrons for the process e + e − → e + e − + hadrons. We use a NLO order general-purpose partonic Monte Carlo event generator that allows the computation of a rate differential in the produced leptons and hadrons. We compare our results with the experimental data for e + e − → e + e − + hadrons at LEP2.
متن کاملQCD radiative corrections to γ∗γ∗ → hadrons
We compute the order-αS corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates for the process e+e− → e+e−+ hadrons, where the hadrons are produced through crossedchannel quark exchange in the hard scattering of two off-shell photons originating from the incoming leptons. We use a next-to-leading order general-purpose partonic Monte Carlo event generator that allows the computation of a rate d...
