Power-like corrections and the determination of the gluon distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Power-suppressed corrections to parton evolution may affect the theoretical accuracy of current determinations of parton distributions. We study the role of multigluon-exchange terms in the extraction of the gluon distribution for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Working in the high-energy approximation, we analyze multi-gluon contributions in powers of 1/Q2. We find a moderate, negative correction to the structure function’s derivative dF2/d lnQ 2, characterized by a slow fall-off in the region of low to medium Q2 relevant for determinations of the gluon at small momentum fractions.

Nuclear Modification to Parton Distribution Functions and Parton Saturation
Abstract. We introduce a generalized definition of parton distribution functions (PDFs) for a more consistent all-order treatment of power corrections. We present a new set of modified DGLAP evolution equations for nuclear PDFs, and show that the resummed αsA /Q-type of leading nuclear size enhanced power corrections significantly slow down the growth of gluon density at small-x. We discuss the...
متن کاملPerturbative and non-perturbative aspects of moments of the thrust distribution in e+e− annihilation∗
Resummation and power-corrections play a crucial role in the phenomenology of event-shape variables like the thrust T . Previous investigations showed that the perturbative contribution to the average thrust is dominated by gluons of small invariant mass, of the order of 10% of Q, where Q is the center-of-mass energy. The effect of soft gluons is also important, leading to a non-perturbative 1/...

The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer. The reforms in distribution sector have given major scope for employment of distributed generation (DG) resources which will boost the system performance. This paper proposes a heuristic technique for allocation of distribut...
متن کاملSuppressed power corrections for moments of event-shape variables in e+e− annihilation∗
Power corrections that fall as 1/Q, where Q is the center-of-mass energy, play a significant role in the phenomenology of the average values of event-shape variables like the thrust T . These power corrections can be analyzed in perturbative QCD using renormalon resummation in the single dressed gluon approximation. They originate in a particular part of phase-space where a soft gluon is emitte...
متن کاملA Brief Determination of Certain Class of Power Semicircle Distribution
In this paper, we give a new and direct proof for the recently proved conjecture raised in Soltani and Roozegar (2012). The conjecture can be proved in a few lines via the integral representation of the Gauss-hypergeometric function unlike the long proof in Roozegar and Soltani (2013).
