Next-to-leading order corrections in exclusive meson production
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze in detail the size of next-to-leading order corrections to hard exclusive meson production within the collinear factorization approach. Corrections to the cross section are found to be huge at small xB and substantial in typical fixed-target kinematics. With the models we take for nucleon helicity-flip distributions, the transverse target polarization asymmetry in vector meson production is strongly affected by radiative corrections, except at large xB. Its overall size is very small for ρ production but can be large in the ω channel. PACS. 12.38.Bx; 13.60.Le

Meson B fragmentation function with consideration of mass corrections
Study of B meson (meson with the bottom quark flavor) in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is of special importance so that the detector LHCb is devoted to investigate these types of mesons. For this reason, in this paper we will study the production process of this meson in a phenomenological approach using the experimental data from electron-positron annihilation. In this regards, we shall calculat...
متن کاملHard exclusive meson production at next - to - leading order
We evaluate perturbative next-to-leading order corrections to the hard exclusive leptoproduction of π + mesons on a transversely polarized proton target. A model dependent study shows that these corrections can be large. We analyze the scale dependence and explore the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie scale setting procedure. Although the predictions for the cross section suffer from theoretical uncerta...
متن کاملNLL Corrections for B-Meson Radiative Exclusive Decays
We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive B → Kγ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff parameter of the hadronic model. The calculated corrections increase the predicted branching ratio by about 10%, but it remains in agreement with the experimental value.
متن کاملExclusive Production of Vector Mesons in Qcd
We compare results of our studies [1,2] on vector meson production within the QCD factorization at next-to-leading order with HERA data. 1 Introduction The exclusive vector meson V electro-and photo-productions in photon-proton collisions , γ p → V p, are the subject of HERA collider experiments. The primary motivation for the interests in these processes, both for the light ρ−meson electro-pro...

We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B → K * γ and B → ργ based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B → V γ matrix elements involving charm (or up-quark) loops, which contribute at leading power in ΛQCD/mB to the decay amplitude. Annihilation topologies are power suppressed, but still calcu...
