Origin of the k T smearing in direct photon production
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the Sudakov factor from the resummation of double logarithms ln(s/k T ) contained in the distribution functions is responsible for the kT smearing mechanism employed in the next-to-leading-order QCD (αα 2 s) calculations of direct photon production. s is the center-of-mass energy, and kT the transverse momentum carried by a parton in a colliding hadron. This factor exhibits the appropriate s-dependent Gaussian width in kT , such that our predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.

متن کاملEffects of Parton kT in High-pT Particle Production
We report on recent work concerning the phenomenology of initial-state partonkT effects in direct-photon production and related processes in hadron collisions. After a brief summary of a kT -smearing model, we present a study of recent results on fixed-target and collider direct-photon production, using complementary data on diphoton and pion production that provide empirical guidance on the re...
متن کاملJ / ψ production at the Tevatron and HERA : the effect of k T smearing
We study the effects of intrinsic transverse momentum smearing on J/ψ production both at the Tevatron and at HERA. For the case of large-p T J/ψ production at the Tevatron, the effects due to k T smearing are mild. On the other hand, inelastic J/ψ photoproduction at HERA is very sensitive to the k T smearing and, in fact, with a reasonable value of k T it is possible to resolve the large-z disc...
متن کامل0 Photon and Pion Production at High p T Marek Zieliński
We present a study of high-pT photon and pion production in hadronic interactions, focusing on a comparison of the yields with expectations from next-toleading order perturbative QCD (NLO pQCD). We examine the impact of phenomenological models of kT smearing (which approximate effects of additional soft-gluon emission) on absolute predictions for photon and pion production and their ratio. Sing...

The radioisotope 67Ga (T 1/2 = 78 h) in extensively used as single photon marker for detecting the presence of malignancy and the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. The high tumor specificity of carrier-free 67Ga make it one of the most interesting radionuclides in nuclear medicine for in vivo scanning studies. 67Ga is a cyclotron produced radioisotopes and is one of the radiopharmaceuti...
