The ηgg Vertex with Arbitrary Gluon Virtualities in the Perturbative QCD Hard Scattering Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the η ′ g * g * vertex for arbitrary gluon virtualities in the time-like and space-like regions, using the perturbative QCD hard scattering approach and an input wave-function of the η ′-meson consistent with the measured η ′ γ * γ transition form factor. The contribution of the gluonic content of the η ′-meson is taken into account, enhancing the form factor over the entire virtuality considered. However, data on the electromagnetic form factor of the η ′-meson is not sufficient to quantify the gluonic enhancement. We also study the effect of the transverse momenta of the partons in the η ′-meson on the η ′ g * g * vertex, using the modified hard scattering approach based on Sudakov formalism, and contrast the results with the ones in the standard hard scattering approach in which such effects are neglected. Analytic expressions for the η ′ g * g * vertex are presented in limiting kinematic regions and parametrizations are given satisfying the QCD anomaly, for real gluons, and perturbative QCD behavior for large gluon virtualities, in both the time-like and space-like regions. Our results have implications for the inclusive decay B → η ′ X and exclusive decays, such as B → η ′ (K, K *), and in hadronic production processes N + N(¯ N) → η ′ X.

The η′g∗g(∗) Vertex Function in Perturbative QCD and η′-Meson Mass Effects
The ηgg effective vertex function (EVF) is calculated in the QCD hard-scattering approach, taking into account the η′-meson mass. We work in the approximation in which only one non-leading Gegenbauer moment in both the quark-antiquark and gluonic light-cone distribution amplitude for the η′-meson is kept. The EVF with one off-shell gluon is shown to have the form Fη′g∗g(q 2 1 , 0,m 2 η ) = m η ...
متن کاملScale Anomaly and “Soft” Pomeron in QCD
We propose a new non–perturbative approach to hadronic interactions at high energies and small momentum transfer, which is based on the scale anomaly of QCD and emphasizes the rôle of semi–classical vacuum fields. We find that the hadron scattering amplitudes exhibit Regge behavior and evaluate the intercept α(0) of the corresponding trajectory. Both the intercept and the scale for the slope of...
متن کاملPerturbative constraints on the Slavnov - Taylor Identity for the Ghost - Gluon Vertex in QCD
A recent form of the Slavnov-Taylor identity for the ghost-gluon vertex of QCD is compared with perturbative results. It is found that this identity, derived assuming ghost-ghost scattering can be neglected, is not consistent with perturbation theory. A new identity is derived at the one-loop perturbative level.
متن کاملB?J/?(?,K) Decays within QCD Factorization Approach
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 ...
متن کاملSelection rules at the quark-antiquark vertex of the QCD Pomeron
We derive the full analytic expression for the QCD eikonal coupling of a quark-antiquark state to the exchanged gluon-gluon state in the BFKL formalism. The formula is valid for all conformal spin configurations of the qq and gg states. In particular, a new selection rule on conformal spins characterizes the non-dominant BFKL components with intercept below the Pomeron in the conformal-invarian...
