Scaling and scale breaking phenomena in QCD jets
نویسنده
چکیده
The perturbative QCD approach to multiparticle production assuming Local Parton Hadron Duality (LPHD) and some recent results are discussed. Finite asymptotic scaling limits are obtained for various observables, after an appropriate rescaling, in the Double Logarithmic Approximation (DLA). Nonasymptotic corrections are also known in some cases. The DLA applies also to very soft particle production where energy conservation constraints can be neglected. In this region the particle density follows rather well a scaling behaviour over the full energy range explored so far in e+e− annihilation.

Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking out of Equilibrium: from Condensed Matter to Qcd and the Early Universe∗
The dynamics of symmetry breaking during out of equilibrium phase transitions is a topic of great importance in many disciplines, from condensed matter to particle physics and early Universe cosmology with definite experimental impact. In these notes we provide a summary of the relevant aspects of the dynamics of symmetry breaking in many different fields with emphasis on the experimental reali...
متن کاملPerturbative vs. Non-Perturbative Scaling Violation in Quark Fragmentation*
We investigate the approach to scaling for non-perturbative quark fragmentation in the framework of the uncorrelated jet model. It is found that subasymptotic kinematic scale breaking is comparable in size to scaling violations from hard gluon emission a la QCD. Experimental data available at present do allow for such non-perturbative scale breaking effects.
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to Z boson pair production via vector-boson fusion
Vector-boson fusion processes are an important tool for the study of electroweak symmetry breaking at hadron colliders, since they allow to distinguish a light Higgs boson scenario from strong weak boson scattering. We here consider the channels WW →ZZ and ZZ→ZZ as part of electroweak Z boson pair production in association with two tagging jets. We present the calculation of the NLO QCD correct...

We compute analytically the effects of energy conservation on the self-similar structure of parton correlations in QCD jets. The calculations are performed both in the constant and running coupling cases. It is shown that the corrections are phenomenologically sizeable. On a theoretical ground, energy conservation constraints preserve the scaling properties of correlations in QCD jets beyond th...

The gap ∆ = 4πf π ≃ 1.2 GeV of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is introduced as a scale delineating resonance and continuum regions in the QCD spectral sum rules for vector mesons. Basic current algebra results are easily recovered, and accurate sum rules for the lower moments of the spectral distributions are derived. The in-medium scaling of vector meson masses finds a straightforward in...
