Bottom quark production cross section at fixed - target pp experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
The cross section for bottom quark production at fixed-target energies is calculated for a wide range of beam momenta. A detailed analysis is given for the HERA-B experiment. We consider both the order α 3 s cross section and the resummation of soft gluon corrections in all orders of QCD perturbation theory. The inclusive transverse momentum and rapidity distributions, including resummation, for bottom quark production at HERA-B are also presented.

متن کاملResummed heavy quark production cross sections to next-to-leading logarithm
We study how next-to-leading logarithms modify predictions from leading logarithmic soft-gluon resummation in the heavy quark production cross section near threshold. Numerical results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and bottom quark production at fixed-target energies.

We calculate threshold soft-gluon corrections to total cross sections and transverse momentum distributions for bottom and charm quark production in fixed-target experiments, considering both pp and π−p interactions. We investigate the quality of the near threshold soft-gluon approximation at next-to-leading order (NLO) and calculate next-to-nextto-leading order (NNLO) corrections through next-...

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...
متن کاملHiggs Hadroproduction at Large Feynman x
We propose a novel mechanism for the production of the Higgs boson in inclusive hadronic collisions, which utilizes the presence of heavy quarks in the proton wave function. In these inclusive reactions the Higgs boson acquires the momenta of both the heavy quark and antiquark and thus carries 80% or more of the projectile’s momentum. We predict that the cross section dσ/dxF (pp → HX) for the i...
