Probing QCD-instanton induced effects in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
After a brief introduction into the phenomenology of instantons, results from instanton perturbation theory applied to deep-inelastic electron proton scattering are summarized. Based on event signatures derived from Monte Carlo studies, strategies for enhancing instanton induced events relative to Standard Model deep-inelastic events are developed. Preliminary results for a search for such events performed with the H1 detector at HERA are given.

Search for Qcd-instantons at Hera
Signals of QCD instanton induced processes are searched for in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA in a kinematic region defined by the Bjorken scaling variables x > 10 −3 , 0.1 < y < 0.6 and polar angle of the scattered positron θ el > 156 •. Upper limits are derived from the expected instanton-induced final state properties based on the QCDINS Monte Carlo model. After initial work by Balitsk...
متن کاملNon-zero Quark Modes Contribution to the QCD-Instanton-Induced Deep Inelastic Scattering
Instanton-induced deep-inelastic processes are considered. Unlike previous results we calculate nonzero quark modes contribution. As was shown [1], QCD-instantons can appear at the intermediate stage of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and be, in principle, observed at HERA (DESY) [2, 3]. Specifically, instantons can be produced in quark-gluon subprocess (Fig.1).

We present a status report of our systematic theoretical and phenomenological study of QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering. We show that this regime plays a distinguished rôle for studying manifestations of QCD-instantons, since the typical hard momentum scale Q provides a dynamical infrared cuto for the instanton size < O(1=Q). For deep-inelastic scattering at HERA, we...
متن کاملInstanton Searches at HERA
The present status of our ongoing systematic study of the discovery potential of QCD-instanton induced events in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA is brieey reviewed. We emphasize our recent progress in predicting the cross-sections of instanton-induced processes. Our nalized predictions include a dramatic improvement of the residual renormalization-scale dependencies and the speciication of a ...

Signals for processes induced by QCD instantons are searched for in HERA data on the hadronic final state in deep-inelastic scattering. The maximally allowed fraction of instanton induced events is found at 95% confidence level to be on the percent level in the kinematic domain 10 −4 < ∼ x
