چکیده
We describe a light-cone wave function formulation for hadroproduction of heavy-flavors at high energies. At moderate values of xF heavy-flavor production can be viewed as a diffractive excitation of heavy quark-antiquark Fock states, present in the interacting gluon from the projectile. The approach developed here is well suited to address coherence effects in heavyquark production from nuclei at small values of xt ∼ 0.1 ·A −1/3. To be published in Z. Phys.

متن کاملInclusive particle production in pp̄ Collisions
We calculate the inclusive production of charged hadrons in pp̄ collisions to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD improved parton model using a new set of NLO fragmentation functions for charged pions and kaons. We predict transverse-momentum distributions and compare them with experimental data from the CERN Spp̄S Collider and the Fermilab Tevatron. DESY 95-020 TUM-T31-84/95
متن کاملQcd Corrections to W Boson plus Heavy Quark Production at the Tevatron
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 ...
متن کاملMeasurements of W/Z+jets production cross sections at the Tevatron
We present measurements of inclusive W /Z + n jet cross sections (n = 1 − 4), presented as total inclusive cross sections and differentially in the n th jet transverse momentum and rapidity, as well as the heavy flavor content in these jets up to n = 2. The measurements are made using 4.2 to 6 fb −1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are com...
متن کاملChiral nucleon dynamics
These lectures give an introduction to baryon chiral perturbation theory. I show in detail how to construct the chiral effective pion–nucleon Lagrangian in the one loop approximation. Particular emphasis is put on the physics related to electromagnetic probes, as manifest in pion photo– and electroproduction, Compton scattering off nucleons and the electroweak form factors of the nucleon. Other...
