Weak effects in b-jet production at hadron colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main challenges of the Tevatron at Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the determination of Standard Model (SM) parameters at the TeV scale. In this context various processes will be investigated which involve bottom-quark jets in the final state, for example decays of top-quarks or gauge bosons of the weak interaction. Hence the theoretical understanding of processes with bottom-quark jets is necessary. In this paper analytic results will be presented for the weak corrections to bottom-quark jet production — neglecting purely photonic corrections. The results will be used to study differential distributions, where sizeable effects are observed.

Weak Corrections to Hadronic Observables
We illustrate one-loop weak corrections to three-jet production in ee at √ s = MZ , to the production of a Z or γ in association with a hard jet at hadron colliders and to the production cross section of two b-jets at Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
متن کاملHadronic Three Jet Production at Next-to-Leading Order
I present results of a next-to-leading order calculation of three jet production at hadron colliders. This calculation will have many applications. In addition to computing three-jet observables (spectra, mass distributions), this calculation permits the first next-to-leading order studies (at hadron colliders) of jet and event shape variables.

I report results from a next-to-leading order event generator of purely gluonic jet production. This calculation, performed in collaboration with Walter Giele, is the first step in the construction of a full next-to-leading order calculation of three jet production at hadron colliders. Talk presented at the 1996 Divisional Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical...

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...
متن کاملNext-to-Leading Order Gluonic Three Jet Production at Hadron Colliders
We report the results of a next-to-leading order event generator of purely gluonic jet production. This calculation is the first step in the construction of a full next-to-leading order calculation of three jet production at hadron colliders. Several jet-algorithms commonly used in experiments are implemented and their numerical stability is investigated.
