Elena Accomando, Juri Fiaschi, Francesco Hautmann, Stefano Moretti

摘要:

中性流Drell-Yan双轻子产生中前后不对称性的测量主要用于弱混合角$θ_W$的确定。我们观察到,不同于运行I的大型强子对撞机(LHC运行-I)的情况下,第一次在LHC运行-II的重建的前向后不对称性的能力,把有用的约束的确定的部分子分布函数(PDF)。通过研究重建的前后向不对称性的统计和PDF的不确定性,我们调查其潜在的解开夸克和反夸克PDF的味道内容。通过在靠近和远离$Z$ -玻色子峰的区域中适当地使用新兴轻子对快度的选择切割,可以获得对价/海$u$ -夸克和特别是海上型反夸克PDF的访问,其方式与带电电流不对称的情况互补,尽管更间接。我们研究这些结果的扩展计划的高光度(HL)LHC。

英文摘要:

Measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in neutral-current Drell-Yan di-lepton production have primarily been used for determinations of the weak mixing angle $θ_W$. We observe that, unlike the case of Run-I of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC Run-I), for the first time at the LHC Run-II the reconstructed forward-backward asymmetry has the capability of placing useful constraints on the determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs). By examining the statistical and the PDF uncertainties on the reconstructed forward-backward asymmetry, we investigate its potential for disentangling the flavour content of quark and antiquark PDFs. Access to the valence/sea $u$-quark and to the sea up-type antiquark PDFs, in particular, may be gained by the appropriate use of selection cuts in the rapidity of the emerging lepton pair in regions both near the $Z$-boson peak and away from it, in a manner complementary, though more indirect, to the case of the charged-current asymmetry. We study the extension of these results for the planned high-luminosity (HL) LHC.
