چکیده

A calculation of the total cross section for top quark production in hadronhadron collisions is presented based on an all-orders perturbative resummation of initial-state gluon radiative contributions to the basic quantum chromodynamics subprocesses. Principal-value resummation is used to evaluate all relevant large threshold contributions. In this method there are no arbitrary infrared cutoffs, and the perturbative regime of applicability is well defined, two attributes that significantly reduce the estimated uncertainty of the results. For pp̄ collisions at center-of-mass energy √ s = 1.8 TeV and a top mass of 175 GeV, we obtain σ(tt̄) = 5.52 −0.45pb, in agreement with experiment. Predicted cross sections are provided as a function of top mass in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 2.0 TeV and in pp collisions at CERN LHC energies.

واپاشیهای پنگوئن درکوارک b

In this research, we are going to study the QCD penguin structure and calculate the second order approximation. The amplitude of decays related to QCD penguin in the quark model up to the first and second orders were calculated. We calculated the amplitude of QCD penguin on lowest order of αs for the first order of the decay processes b→qkg→qkqiqj and for the second order of the decay processes...

The role of electroweak penguin and magnetic dipole QCD penguin on hadronic b Quark Decays

This research, works with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. Using, the decay rates of matter-antimatter of b quark was investigated. We described the effective Hamiltonian theory which was applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2), QCD penguin (Q3,…,6), magnetic dipole (Q8) and electroweak penguin (Q7,…,10) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays ...

Top-quark Production and QCD

We review theoretical calculations for top-quark production that include complete next-to-leading-order QCD corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections from threshold resummation. We discuss in detail the differences between various approaches that have appeared in the literature and review results for top-quark total cross sections and differential distributions at the Tevatron ...

ترکش گلوئون به چارمونیوم برداری J/psi با در نظر گرفتن اثر تابع موج مزون

Studying the production or decay processes of heavy quarkonia (the bound state of heavy quark-antiquark) is a powerful tool to test our understanding of strong interaction dynamics and QCD theory. Fragmentation is the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum. The fragmentation refers to the production process of a parton with high transverse momentum whic...

Production of two Z-bosons in gluon fusion in the heavy top quark approximation

We compute QCD radiative corrections to the continuum production of a pair of Z-bosons in the annihilation of two gluons. We only consider the contribution of the top quark loops and we treat them assuming that mt is much larger than any other kinematic invariant in the problem. We estimate the QCD corrections to pp → ZZ using the first non-trivial term in the expansion in the inverse top quark...
