Qcd Corrections to W Boson plus Heavy Quark Production at the Tevatron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a W -boson in association with a jet containing a heavy quark are presented. The calculation is fully differential in the final state particle momenta and includes the mass of the heavy quark. We study for the case of the Tevatron the sensitivity of the cross section to the strange quark distribution function, the dependence of the cross section on the heavy quark mass, the transverse momentum distribution of the jet containing the heavy quark, and the momentum distribution of the heavy quark in the jet.

Top Quark Loop Corrections to the Neutral Higgs Boson Production at the Fermilab Tevatron
We calculate the O(αm t /m W ) corrections arising from diagrams involving the topquark loops to the light neutral Higgs boson production via qq̄ → WH at the Fermilab Tevatron in both the standard model and the minimal supersymmetric model. In contrast to the QCD correction which increases the tree-level cross section, the corrections imply a few percent reduction in the production cross section...
متن کاملNNLO QCD corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes at hadron colliders
We implement, at next-to-next-to-leading order, the QCD corrections to Standard Model Higgs boson production in association with vector bosons at hadron colliders, qq̄ → HV with V = W,Z. They consist of the two–loop corrections to the Drell–Yan process for the production of off-shell vector bosons, qq̄ → V , and in the case of Z final states, of the additional contribution from heavy-quark loop m...
متن کاملVector Boson + Heavy Flavor Jets Production at the Tevatron
Events containing vector bosons and heavy-flavor jets constitute valuable data samples for a variety of physics analyses at both CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. For example, an event sample containing a W/Z boson and b-jet(s) is a golden sample for the Higgs search at low masses, studies of top quark production and properties, and also searches for the beyond-the-st...

متن کاملNLO Supersymmetric QCD Corrections to tt̄h Associated Production at Hadron Colliders
We calculate NLO QCD corrections to the lightest neutral Higgs boson production associated with top quark pair at hadron colliders in the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM). Our calculation shows that the total QCD correction significantly reduces its dependence on the renormalization/factorization scale. The relative correction from the SUSY QCD part approaches to be a constant, if ei...
