LHC的因子分解:从PDF到初始状态Jets

Factorization at the LHC: From PDFs to Initial State Jets

Iain W. Stewart, Frank J. Tackmann, Wouter J. Waalewijn

摘要:

我们研究质子(反)质子碰撞在大型强子对撞机或Tevatron在强子末态和一般部分子动量分数的实验限制的存在下。在硬相互作用的尺度Q下,因子分解不产生初始状态的标准部分子分布函数(PDF)。对强子末态的限制测量引入了一个新的尺度μ B << Q,并探测了硬碰撞前的质子。这对应于以尺度μ_B评估PDF。探测质子后,入射的硬部分子被包含在初始态喷流中,硬碰撞发生在这些喷流内部的部分子之间,而不是质子内部。这种初始状态喷流的正确描述需要“梁函数”。在尺度μ_B处,束函数分解为可计算的Wilson系数和PDF的卷积。在μ_B以下,初始态演化由通常的PDF演化描述,它改变了x,而在μ_B以上,它由不同的重整化群演化控制,它将μ_B/Q的双阶求和,而x保持不变。作为一个例子,我们证明了“孤立Drell-Yan”的一个分解定理,pp -> Xl+l-,其中X被限制为没有中心喷流.我们评论的情况下,强子末态包含一定数量的孤立的中央射流的延伸。

英文摘要:

We study proton-(anti)proton collisions at the LHC or Tevatron in the presence of experimental restrictions on the hadronic final state and for generic parton momentum fractions. At the scale Q of the hard interaction, factorization does not yield standard parton distribution functions (PDFs) for the initial state. The measurement restricting the hadronic final state introduces a new scale μ_B << Q and probes the proton prior to the hard collision. This corresponds to evaluating the PDFs at the scale μ_B. After the proton is probed, the incoming hard parton is contained in an initial-state jet, and the hard collision occurs between partons inside these jets rather than inside protons. The proper description of such initial-state jets requires "beam functions". At the scale μ_B, the beam function factorizes into a convolution of calculable Wilson coefficients and PDFs. Below μ_B, the initial-state evolution is described by the usual PDF evolution which changes x, while above μ_B it is governed by a different renormalization group evolution which sums double logarithms of μ_B/Q and leaves x fixed. As an example, we prove a factorization theorem for "isolated Drell-Yan", pp -> Xl+l- where X is restricted to have no central jets. We comment on the extension to cases where the hadronic final state contains a certain number of isolated central jets.
