T-odd effects in photon-jet production at the Tevatron

چکیده
The angular distribution in photon-jet production in pp̄ → γ jetX is studied within a generalized factorization scheme taking into account the transverse momentum of the partons in the initial hadrons. Within this scheme an anomalously large cos 2φ asymmetry observed in the Drell–Yan process could be attributed to the T-odd, spin and transverse momentum dependent parton distribution function h⊥q 1 (x,p⊥). This same function is expected to produce a cos 2φ asymmetry in the photon-jet production cross section. We give the expression for this particular azimuthal asymmetry, which is estimated to be smaller than the Drell–Yan asymmetry but still of considerable size for Tevatron kinematics. This offers a new possibility to study T-odd effects at the Tevatron. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 12.38.-t; 13.85.Ni; 13.88.+e

Qcd and Hard Diffraction at the Lhc
As an introduction to QCD at the LHC I give an overview of QCD at the Tevatron, emphasizing the high Q 2 frontier which will be taken over by the LHC. After describing briefly the LHC detectors I discuss high mass diffraction, in particular central exclusive production of Higgs and vector boson pairs. I introduce the FP420 project to measure the scattered protons 420m downstream of ATLAS and CM...
متن کاملQcd and Top-quark Results from the Tevatron *
QCD processes provide signals to test theoretical calculations and models and contribute major backgrounds to many measurements. Thus, their detailed understanding and modeling is of crucial importance. Production of isolated photons at large pT provides one of the cleanest and most accurate tests of perturbative QCD (pQCD). Such photons originate primarily from hard collisions of partons (quar...

متن کاملSearches for New Physics at the Tevatron in Photon and Jet Final States
We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena in photon and jet final states. These searches use data from integrated luminosities of 0.7–2.7 fb of pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and DØ detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess in data has been observed. We report limits on the parameters of several models, including: large extra di...

A selection of theoretical and experimental results are presented in the broader context of understanding QCD and its relation to photon physics. A phenomenological analysis of HERA data to constrain the gluon content of the proton and photon is discussed. Measurements from the Tevatron and fixed-target experiments are compared to theoretical predictions. Finally, the future of higher order pQC...
