OCIP/C 94-6 hep-ph/9407345 PROBING THE HEAVY QUARK CONTENT OF THE PHOTON USING b TAGGING AT ELECTRON PHOTON COLLIDERS
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the prospects for probing the quark content of the photon using b tagging at high energy electron-photon colliders. We find that heavy quark tagging provides a sensitive and effective probe of the quark content of the photon. Using a 500 GeV ee NLC in electron-photon mode, the cross section for ebγ → eb can be measured to 10% with b tagging. This is sufficient to differentiate between the various photon structure functions.

We study the diagnostic power of future ee colliders with p s = 500 GeV (the New Large Collider (NLC)) for a model independent determination of the Z0 gauge couplings to quarks and leptons. The interference of the Z 0 propagator with the photon and the Z propagator in the two-fermion nal state probes are sensitive to the magnitude as well as relative signs of quark and lepton charges. For Z0 wi...

We study the diagnostic power of future e+e− colliders with √ s = 500 GeV (the New Large Collider (NLC)) for a model independent determination of the Z ′ gauge couplings to quarks and leptons. The interference of the Z ′ propagator with the photon and the Z propagator in the two-fermion final state probes are sensitive to the magnitude as well as relative signs of quark and lepton charges.

متن کاملPhoton-Photon and Photon-Hadron Interactions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Colliders
In central collisions at relativistic heavy ion colliders like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC/Brookhaven and the Large Hadron Collider LHC (in its heavy ion mode) at CERN/Geneva, one aims at detecting a new form of hadronic matter — the Quark Gluon Plasma. We discuss here a complementary aspect of these collisions, the very peripheral ones. Due to coherence, there are strong electroma...
متن کاملHeavy quark photoproduction at THERA
Heavy quark production can provide information on the structure of the real photon as well as provide stringent tests of QCD by itself. In this paper the potential of the possible future ep collider, THERA, to give new information on the real photon structure through charm and beauty quark photoproduction is studied. The potential of the collider is also compared with other existing or planned ...
