TeV to Predictions from a Next-to-leading Order QCD Calculation
نویسنده
چکیده
The properties of three-jet events with total transverse energy greater than 320 GeV and individual jet energy greater than 20 GeV have been analyzed and compared to absolute predictions from a next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculation. These data, of integrated luminosity 86 pb, were recorded by the CDF Experiment for pp collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV. This study tests a model of higher order QCD processes that result in gluon emission and can be used to estimate the magnitude of the contribution of processes higher than NLO. The total cross section is measured to be 466 ± 3(stat.) −70 (syst.) pb. The differential cross section is furthermore measured for all kinematically accessible regions of the Dalitz plane, including those for which the theoretical prediction is unreliable. While the measured cross section is consistent with the theoretical prediction in magnitude, the two differ somewhat in shape in the Dalitz plane.

Theory developments in differential top-quark distributions
Differential distributions for on-shell top-quark pair production at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD for the Large Hadron Collider at √ s = 8 TeV are presented and discussed. The theoretical framework of the calculation is summarized. By comparing the prediction to measurements, it turns out that next-to-next-to-leading order corrections are necessary in order to resolve a dis...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order predictions for WW+jet production
In this work we report on a next-to-leading order calculation of WW + jet production at hadron colliders, with subsequent leptonic decays of the W -bosons included. The calculation of the one-loop contributions is performed using generalized unitarity methods in order to derive analytic expressions for the relevant amplitudes. These amplitudes have been implemented in the parton-level Monte Car...
متن کاملSquark and Gluino Hadroproduction
We review the theoretical status of squark and gluino hadroproduction and provide numerical predictions for all squark and gluino pair-production processes at the Tevatron and at the LHC, with a particular emphasis on proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV. Our predictions include next-to-leading order supersymmetric QCD corrections and the resummation of soft gluon emission at next-to-leading-logar...
