Hadron collisions and the fifth form factor
نویسنده
چکیده
Logarithmically enhanced effects due to radiation of soft gluons at large angles in 2 → 2 QCD scattering processes are treated in terms of the ”fifth form factor” that accompanies the four collinear singular Sudakov form factors attached to incoming and outgoing hard partons. Unexpected symmetry under exchange of internal and external variables of the problem is pointed out for the anomalous dimension that governs soft gluon effects in hard gluon–gluon scattering.

Predictions of hadron abundances in pp collisions at the LHC
s = 200 GeV, and extrapolating the overall normalization from pp̄ collisions at the SPS and Tevatron, we find that the expected rapidity densities are almost grand-canonical. Therefore, at LHC the ratios between different species become essentially energy-independent, provided that the hadronization temperature TH and the strangeness suppression factor γS retain the stable values observed in the...
متن کاملFian/td-98/24 Minijet Transverse Energy Production in the Next-to-leading Order in Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
The transverse energy flow generated by minijets in hadron and nuclear collisions into a given rapidity window in the central region is calculated in the next-to-leading (NLO) order in QCD at RHIC and LHC energies. The NLO transverse energy production in pp collisions cross sections are larger than the LO ones by the factors of KRHIC ∼ 1.9 and KLHC ∼ 2.1 at RHIC and LHC energies correspondingly...

متن کاملExtracting the charm cross-section from semileptonic decays into muons
We propose a sensitive measurement of the charm total cross-section at RHIC through muon identification from charm semileptonic decay at low transverse momentum (pT ). This can test the binary-collision scaling (Nbin) properties of the charm total cross-section and be used to study whether heavy-flavor quarks, which are used as a probe, are produced exclusively at the initial impact in hadron-h...
متن کاملA simple method to simulate W/Z + jet production at hadron collisions with PS-ME matching
We propose a simple method to simulate W/Z + jet productions at hadron collisions. The simulation can be done by using existing tools with some modifications allowed to users. W/Z + 1 jet events are generated using an ME-based event generator at the tree level. The divergence at low pT is suppressed by using the Sudakov form factor. PS is added with an appropriate consideration for PS-ME matchi...
