QCD Corrections to Double and Single Spin Asymmetries in Vector Boson Production at Polarized Hadron Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
The production of W and Z0 bosons in collisions of longitudinally polarized protons allows to access various combinations of the polarized quark distributions from the study of double and single spin asymmetries. We compute the O(αs) corrections to these asymmetries as function of the vector boson rapidity y in the hadron–hadron centre-of-mass frame. Detailed studies of the numerical impact of the next-to-leading order corrections are presented. The theoretical uncertainties of an extraction of polarized quark distributions from future vector boson production data are investigated in detail. PACS: 13.88.+e;13.75.Cs;13.85.Qk;12.38.Bx

Polarized Drell-Yan Process
The results of a recent calculation of the QCD corrections to the longitudinally polarized Drell-Yan process are summarized. In addition to the parity conserving double spin asymmetry which is already accessible in the Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs at fixed target energies, we consider parity violating single spin asymmetries appearing only in the production of massive vector bosons at p...
متن کاملMixed QCD and weak corrections to top quark pair production at hadron colliders
The order αs α mixed QCD and weak corrections to top quark pair production by quark antiquark annihilation are computed, keeping the full dependence on the t and t̄ spins. We determine the contributions to the cross section and to single and double top spin asymmetries at the parton level. These results are necessary ingredients for precise standard model predictions of top quark observables, in...
متن کاملSpin Asymmetries in Squark and Gluino Production at Polarized Hadron Colliders
We study the production cross sections for squarks and gluinos in collision of longitudinally polarized hadrons. The corresponding polarized partonic cross sections are computed in leading order supersymmetric QCD. The resulting asymmetries are evaluated for the polarized proton collider RHIC, as well as for hypothetical polarized options of the Tevatron and the LHC. These asymmetries turn out ...
متن کاملSUSY–QCD Corrections to Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders
We analyze the next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to the production of Higgs particles at hadron colliders in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Besides the standard QCD corrections due to gluon exchange and emission, genuine supersymmetric corrections due to the virtual exchange of squarks and gluinos are present. At both the Tevatron and the LHC, these corrections are fo...
متن کاملNNLO QCD corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes at hadron colliders
We implement, at next-to-next-to-leading order, the QCD corrections to Standard Model Higgs boson production in association with vector bosons at hadron colliders, qq̄ → HV with V = W,Z. They consist of the two–loop corrections to the Drell–Yan process for the production of off-shell vector bosons, qq̄ → V , and in the case of Z final states, of the additional contribution from heavy-quark loop m...
