Unintegrated CCFM parton distributions and transverse momentum of gauge bosons
نویسنده
چکیده
Transverse momentum distribution of gauge bosons W± and Z is calculated using unintegrated parton distributions obtained by solving leading order CCFM equation(s) in the impact parameter space. For illustration we compare the results of the fixed-order collinear, softgluon resummation and CCFM approaches. A parameter of a nonperturbative form factor is adjusted to the D0 data. In contrast to the collinear approach, the leading order calculation based on the unintegrated CCFM parton distributions generates transverse momentum distributions of gauge bosons, which are almost consistent with experimental data provided the parameter of the nonperturbative form factor is appropriately adjusted. The W+-W− asymmetry is calculated as a function of the boson rapidity and transverse momentum. Predictions are given for RHIC and LHC.

Resummation effects in Higgs boson transverse momentum distribution within the framework of unintegrated parton distributions
The cross sections describing the transverse momentum distributions of Higgs bosons are discussed within the framework of unintegrated parton distributions obtained from the CCFM equations in the single loop approximation. It is shown how the approximate treatment of the CCFM equations generates the standard expressions describing the soft gluon resummation effects in the corresponding cross se...

Unintegrated partons to describe the P T distributions of electroweak bosons at hadron colliders Abstract We describe the use of unintegrated parton distributions in hadron-hadron collisions, using the (z, k t)-factorisation prescription where the transverse momentum of the incoming parton is generated in the last evolution step. We apply this formalism to calculate the transverse momentum (P T...

We utilise the fact that the CCFM equation in the single loop approximation can be diagonalised by the Fourier-Bessel transform. The analytic solution of the CCFM equation for the moments fω(b,Q) of the scale dependent gluon distribution is obtained, where b is the transverse coordinate conjugate to the transverse momentum of the gluon. The unintegrated gluon distributions obtained from this so...

We describe the use of doubly-unintegrated parton distributions in hadron-hadron collisions, using the (z, kt)-factorisation prescription where the transverse momentum of the incoming parton is generated in the last evolution step.

Fixed order perturbation theory is not able to describe the transversal momentum spectrum of a electro-weak gauge boson. It is needed to resum whole classes of enhanced logarithmic terms. Depending on the phase space region different classes of logarithmic terms can be important. There are different approaches to sum such logarithmic terms including evolution equations of parton density functio...
