微扰QCD中红外区的处理

The treatment of the infrared region in perturbative QCD

E. G. de Oliveira, A. D. Martin, M. G. Ryskin

摘要:

我们讨论了红外区对硬QCD过程的非线性光学矩阵元和/或系数函数的贡献。严格地说,这种贡献在理论上是未知的,因为它超出了微扰QCD。对于DGstrom演化,所有的红外贡献收集在唯象输入部分子分布函数(PDF),在一些相对低的尺度Q_0;从“全球”数据拟合获得的功能。然而,维度正则化有时会产生来自红外区域的非零结果。与传统的正则化处理不同,我们认为适当的处理方法是首先从NLO矩阵元素中减去LO差分分裂函数与LO矩阵元素卷积后在α s中相同阶已经产生的贡献。该处方消除了对数红外发散,给出了定义明确的结果,这与原始想法一致,即在PDF输入中收集低于Q_0的所有内容。我们量化的治疗和传统的方法之间的差异,使用低质量的Drell-Yan生产和深非弹性电子-质子散射为例,并讨论了潜在的影响“全球”PDF分析。我们提出的论点表明,差异不能被视为简单地使用一个替代的因式分解方案。

英文摘要:

We discuss the contribution coming from the infrared region to NLO matrix elements and/or coefficient functions of hard QCD processes. Strictly speaking, this contribution is not known theoretically, since it is beyond perturbative QCD. For DGLAP evolution all the infrared contributions are collected in the phenomenological input parton distribution functions (PDFs), at some relatively low scale Q_0; functions which are obtained from a fit to the `global' data. However dimensional regularization sometimes produces a non-zero result coming from the infrared region. Instead of this conventional regularization treatment, we argue that the proper procedure is to first subtract from the NLO matrix element the contribution already generated at the same order in α_s by the LO DGLAP splitting function convoluted with the LO matrix element. This prescription eliminates the logarithmic infrared divergence, giving a well-defined result which is consistent with the original idea that everything below Q_0 is collected in the PDF input. We quantify the difference between the proposed treatment and the conventional approach using low-mass Drell-Yan production and deep inelastic electron-proton scattering as examples; and discuss the potential impact on the `global' PDF analyses. We present arguments to show that the difference cannot be regarded as simply the use of an alternative factorization scheme.
