Uncertainties on Central Exclusive Scalar Luminosities from the unintegrated gluon distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
In a previous report we used the Linked Dipole Chain model unintegrated gluon densities to investigate the uncertainties in the predictions for central exclusive production of scalars at hadron colliders. Here we expand this investigation by also looking at other parameterizations of the unintegrated gluon density, and look in more detail on the behavior of these at small k⊥. We confirm our conclusions that the luminosity function for central exclusive production is very sensitive to this behavior. However, we also conclude that the available densities based on the CCFM and LDC evolutions are not constrained enough to give reliable predictions even for inclusive Higgs production at the LHC.

Central Exclusive Scalar Luminosities from the Linked Dipole Chain Model gluon densities
We investigate the implication of uncertainties in the unintegrated gluon distribution for the predictions for central exclusive production of scalars at hadron colliders. We use parameterizations of the k⊥-unintegrated gluon density obtained from the Linked Dipole Chain model, applying different options for the treatment of non-leading terms. We find that the luminosity function for central ex...
متن کاملUnintegrated gluon distributions from the transverse coordinate representation of the CCFM equation in the single loop approximation
We utilise the fact that the CCFM equation in the single loop approximation can be diagonalised by the Fourier-Bessel transform. The analytic solution of the CCFM equation for the moments fω(b,Q) of the scale dependent gluon distribution is obtained, where b is the transverse coordinate conjugate to the transverse momentum of the gluon. The unintegrated gluon distributions obtained from this so...
متن کاملA prediction for unintegrated parton distributions
Unintegrated parton distributions in proton and nucleus are predicted by a modified DGLAP equation incorporating the shadowing corrections, which include exact energy-momentum conservation in each splitting and fusion vertices. We find that the suppression of the unintegrated gluon distribution when kt → 0 may arise from the valence-like input rather than the saturation effect, although the non...
متن کاملUnintegrated gluon distributions in a photon from the CCFM equation in the single loop approximation
The system of CCFM equations for unintegrated parton distributions in a photon is considered in the single loop approximation. We include quarks and non-singular parts of the splitting functions in the corresponding evolution equations. We solve the system of CCFM equations utilising the transverse coordinate representation which diagonalises these equations in the single loop approximation. Th...
متن کاملUnintegrated partons to describe the P T distributions of electroweak bosons at hadron colliders
Unintegrated partons to describe the P T distributions of electroweak bosons at hadron colliders Abstract We describe the use of unintegrated parton distributions in hadron-hadron collisions, using the (z, k t)-factorisation prescription where the transverse momentum of the incoming parton is generated in the last evolution step. We apply this formalism to calculate the transverse momentum (P T...
