Production of hadrons with large transverse momentum in DIS at NLO
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the order α2 s corrections to the one particle inclusive electroproduction cross section of hadrons with non vanishing transverse momentum. We perform the full calculation analytically, and obtain the expression of the factorized (finite) cross section at this order. We compare our results with H1 data on forward production of π0, and discuss the phenomenological implications of the rather large higher order contributions obtained in that case.

-boson production with large transverse momentum at the LHC
We study W -boson production with large transverse momentum, QT , in pp collisions at the LHC. We calculate the complete NLO corrections and the soft-gluon NNLO corrections to the differential cross section. The NLO corrections are large but they do not reduce the scale dependence relative to LO, while the NNLO soft-gluon corrections, although small, significantly reduce the scale dependence an...
متن کاملInclusive particle production in pp̄ Collisions
We calculate the inclusive production of charged hadrons in pp̄ collisions to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD improved parton model using a new set of NLO fragmentation functions for charged pions and kaons. We predict transverse-momentum distributions and compare them with experimental data from the CERN Spp̄S Collider and the Fermilab Tevatron. DESY 95-020 TUM-T31-84/95
متن کاملLepton Pair Production at the LHC and the Gluon Density in the Proton
The production of lepton pairs in hadron collisions h1h2 → γX ; γ → ll̄ proceeds through an intermediate virtual photon via qq̄ → γ, and the subsequent leptonic decay of the virtual photon. Interest in this Drell-Yan process is usually focussed on lepton pairs with large mass Q which justifies the application of perturbative QCD and allows for the extraction of the antiquark density in hadrons [ ...
متن کاملFactorization and Non-factorization in Diffractive Hard Scattering
Factorization, in the sense defined for inclusive hard scattering, is discussed for diffractive hard scattering. A factorization theorem similar to its inclusive counterpart is presented for diffractive DIS. For hadron-hadron diffractive hard scattering, in contrast to its inclusive counterpart, the expected breakdown of factorization is discussed. Cross section estimates are given from a simpl...
متن کاملW production at large transverse momentum at the Large Hadron Collider
We study the production of W bosons at large transverse momentum in pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We calculate the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the differential cross section. We find that the NLO corrections provide a large increase to the cross section but, surprisingly, do not reduce the scale dependence relative to leading order (LO). We also calcu...
