Beauty jet production at HERA with ZEUS
نویسنده
چکیده
Two recent measurements of beauty production in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector are presented. In the first analysis, beauty production was identified using muons associated to a jet. In the second measurement, beauty content was extracted using the decay length significance and invariant mass of secondary vertices. Measured differential cross sections were compared to theoretical predictions. The beauty contribution to the proton structure function F 2 was extracted.

Beauty Quark Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering at Hera
The measurement of the beauty quark production cross section in deep inelastic scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA is presented. The cross section for beauty quarks, measured in the kinematic range Q > 2 GeV and 0.05 < y < 0.7, and for events with at least one muon and one jet in the Breit frame, is somewhat above the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD prediction, but in agreement within the...
متن کاملMeasurement of beauty photoproduction using decays into muons in dijet events at HERA
Beauty photoproduction in dijet events has been measured at HERA with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 126 pb −1. Beauty was identified in events with a muon in the final state by using the transverse momentum of the muon relative to the closest jet. Lifetime information from the silicon vertex detector was also used; the impact parameter of the muon with respect to the prima...
متن کاملBeauty in photoproduction at HERA II with the ZEUS detector
The production of beauty quarks in ep collisions should be accurately calculable in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) since the large mass of the b quark provides a hard scale. Therefore it is interesting to compare such predictions to results using photoproduction events where a low-virtuality photon, emitted by the incoming lepton, collides with a parton from the incoming proton. A me...

Abstract. An extract of recent results from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations is shown. Various properties of quantum chromo dynamics are investigated by studying the details of the hadronic final state of high energy electron proton collisions at HERA. The presented results include analyses of jet cross sections and single particle production such as γ and D. Part of the measurements deal with fi...
