Deep inelastic beauty production at HERA in the k T - factorization approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate the cross section of beauty production in ep deep inelastic scattering at HERA collider in the framework of the k T-factorization approach. The unintegrated gluon distributions in a proton are obtained from the full CCFM, from unified BFKL-DGLAP evolution equations as well as from the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. We investigate different production rates and study the b-quark contribution to the inclusive proton structure function F 2 (x, Q 2) at small x and at moderate and high values of Q 2. Our theoretical results are compared with the recent experimental data taken by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. We demonstrate the importance of leading ln 1/x contributions in description of the HERA data.

Heavy Flavour Production at Hera
Recent measurements of Charm and Beauty production at HERA are described. The charm results are well described by NLO QCD calculations with a somewhat better description in the CCFM than in the DGLAP evolution schemes. However, the Beauty results in both photoproduction and in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) are poorly described by such calculations.

The results of measurement of beauty quark production at HERA performed by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are presented. Total cross sections and the differential cross sections have been measured in both the photoproduction and the deep inelastic scattering regimes. The results are compared with the NLO QCD calculations.
متن کاملBeauty Quark Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering at Hera
The measurement of the beauty quark production cross section in deep inelastic scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA is presented. The cross section for beauty quarks, measured in the kinematic range Q > 2 GeV and 0.05 < y < 0.7, and for events with at least one muon and one jet in the Breit frame, is somewhat above the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD prediction, but in agreement within the...
متن کاملOpen Beauty Production
We review measurements of open beauty production at HERA, with emphasis on recent results based on lifetime signatures. The beauty cross sections in photoproduction and deep-inelastic scattering are found to be higher than expected in QCD at next-to-leading order. The discussion includes new results on beauty production in ee, γγ and p̄p interactions. An outlook on the potential for measurements...
متن کاملNLO Corrections to Jet Cross Sections in DIS a
Next-to-leading order corrections to jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are studied. The predicted jet rates allow for a precise determination of αs(µ R) and the gluon density at HERA. We argue, that the " natural " renormal-ization and factorization scale is in general set by the average k B T of the jets in the Breit frame. Some implications for the associated forward jet...
