Photon Production at the Fermilab Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
The DD and CDF experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron have recently measured photon production cross sections in pp collisions at p s = 1:8 TeV. An improved measurement of the isolated single photon production cross section with an increased data sample is presented and compared to NLO QCD predictions. Also, a new measurement of the production of + events is discussed and compared with NLO QCD predictions.

Effects of anomalous couplings of quarks on prompt photon production
Prompt photon production is sensitive to the anomalous couplings of gluons to quarks, because it is mainly produced by quark-gluon scattering. We will examine the effects of the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moment couplings of quarks on prompt photon production. Using the data collected by CDF and D0 at the Fermilab Tevatron we put a bound on these anomalous couplings. We ...
متن کاملTesting Anomalous Higgs Couplings in Triple Photon Production at the Tevatron Collider
We derive bounds on Higgs and gauge–boson anomalous interactions using the CDF data for the process pp̄ → γγγ + X. We use a linearly realized SUL(2) × UY (1) invariant effective Lagrangian to describe the bosonic sector of the Standard Model, keeping the fermionic couplings unchanged. All dimension–six operators that lead to anomalous Higgs interactions involving γ and Z are considered. We also ...
متن کاملPhoton Cross Sections at Ecm = 2 Tev
Photon production rates have been studied by the DØ and CDF experiments in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Measurements of the inclusive isolated photon cross section and the di-photon cross section are presented, based on integrated luminosities of 0.3 fb −1 and 0.2 fb −1 , respectively. The results are compared to perturbative QCD calculations in various approximations.
متن کاملDetecting a light Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron through enhanced decays to photon pairs
We analyze the prospects of the Tevatron for finding a Higgs boson in the two photon decay mode. We conclude that the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson will likely not be discovered in this mode. However, we motivate several theories beyond the SM, including the MSSM, that predict a Higgs boson with enhanced branching fractions into photons, and calculate the luminosity needed to discover a gener...
متن کاملAll-orders Resummation for Diphoton Production at Hadron Colliders
We present a QCD calculation of the transverse momentum distribution of photon pairs produced at hadron colliders, including all-orders soft-gluon resummation valid at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We specify the region of phase space in which the calculation is most reliable, compare our results with data from the Fermilab Tevatron, and make predictions for the Large Hadron Col...
