We study the photoproduction of $\rm J/ψ$ using the NRQCD formalism with forward hadron tagging at the Large Hadron Collider. We estimate the total cross sections and event rates with and without nuclear shadowing effects in high energy proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. Our results show that the processes which involve $\rm J/ψ$ photoproduction depend on the choice of forward detector acceptances $ξ$. Under some precise cut of $\rm p_{T}^{J/ψ}$ and $\rm z^{J/ψ}$ kinematic variables, we find that the distributions of photoproduction of $\rm J/ψ$ are led by the Fock state $\rm ^{1}S_{0}^{[8]}$ or $\rm ^{3}S_{1}^{[1]}$. The total cross sections and event rates will be smaller if the nuclear shadowing effects are considered. The processes give a crucial photoproduction signature at the LHC with forward detector acceptances. The exploration and the detection of the interactions will be useful for studying the mechanism of heavy quarkonium production.
We calculate the photoproduction of double $J/ψ$ ($Υ$) to leading order based on the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics factorization framework at the Large Hadron Collider with forward proton tagging. The numerical results of double $J/ψ$ photoproduction pp $\rightarrow$ p$γ$p $\rightarrow$ $J/ψ$ + $J/ψ$ with different forward detector acceptances ($ξ$) are presented. The total cross section of double $J/ψ$ photoproduction is less than 200 fb with 0.1 $<$ $ξ$ $<$ 0.5, but can reach about 1.37(1.27) pb with 0.0015 $<$ $ξ$ $<$ 0.5 ( 0.0015 $<$ $ξ$ $<$ 0.15 ). The double $J/ψ$ photoproductio…
In this paper we probe the Sivers asymmetries through $\rm J/ψ$ photoproduction in $\rm p^\uparrow p$ collision within the non-relativistic QCD framework, based on color octet model and the Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions (TMDs). Both the DGLAP evolution and the TMD evolution are included. The intensity and the sign of the Sivers asymmetry is strongly related on evolution model used to investigate the Gluon Sivers Function (GSF). A sizable asymmetry is obtained as a function of the rapidity, $\rm log{(x_γ)}$ or $\rm log{(x_{g})}$ dependence using a recent parametrization of …
Total and Jet Photoproduction Cross Sections at HERA
我们表明，最近在HERA能量下的总光生截面的测量结果[1]与我们早期基于QCD微喷型模型中光子的高能强子结构的预测一致[2]。我们讨论了一种改进的光生截面的计算方法，其中软部分，受Regge理论的启发，被认为是能量依赖的，半硬强子部分被仔细eikonalized，以考虑多次散射，并包括适当的光子强子概率[3]。我们表明，我们的截面的超高能外推，相关的宇宙线物理，给出了显着的贡献的“常规”的值，但不能解释异常μ子内容中观察到的宇宙线空气簇射与天体物理点源[4]。（1993年QCD Recontres de Moriond邀请演讲）
We analyze the exclusive $ϕ$-meson photoproduction on both hydrogen and deuterium targets based on the published data of CLAS, SAPHIR and LEPS collaborations. A dipole-form scalar gravitational form factor is applied to describe the $|t|$-dependence of the differential cross section. Based on the average of all the near-threshold data from CLAS, SAPHIR and LEPS, we find that the proton and deuteron mass radii are $0.75 \pm 0.02$ fm and $1.95 \pm 0.19$ fm respectively. The coherent and near-threshold quarkonium photoproduction seems to be sensitive to the radius of the hadronic system. The vect…
Machine learning techniques are used for treating jets as images to explore the performance of boosted top quark tagging. Tagging performances are studied in both hadronic and leptonic channels of top quark decay, employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) based technique along with boosted decision trees (BDT). This computer vision approach is also applied to distinguish between left and right polarized top quarks. In this context, an experimentally measurable asymmetry variable is proposed to estimate the polarization. Results indicate that the CNN based classifier is more sensitive to t…
A significant excess of J/$ψ$ yield at very low transverse momentum ($p_T < 0.3$ GeV/c) was observed by the ALICE and STAR collaborations in peripheral A+A collisions, which points to evidence of coherent photoproduction of J/$ψ$ in violent hadronic interactions. Theoretically, the photoproduction of J$/ψ$ in hadronic collisions raises questions about how spectator and non-spectator nucleons participate in the coherent reaction. For the first time, we argue that the strong interactions in the overlapping region of incoming nuclei may disturb the coherent production, leaving room for different …
Ground state $1/2^+$ octet baryon sum rules predicting a chain of inequalities for hadron photoproduction total cross-sections on corresponding baryons
In this paper we investigate the photoproduction of QED bound states in proton -- proton, proton -- nucleus and nucleus -- nucleus collisions at RHIC, LHC and FCC energies considering an accurate treatment of the absorptive corrections and for the nuclear form factor. The total cross sections for the production of singlet and triplet $(l^+ l^-)$ states, with $l = e,\, μ, \, τ$, are estimated and a detailed analysis of the photoproduction of singlet QED bound states is performed considering the rapidity ranges covered by central and forward detectors. The impact of the Coulomb corrections on th…
We have developed a covariant isobar model to phenomenologically explain the four possible isospin channels of $KΣ$ photoproduction. To obtain a consistent reaction amplitude, which is free from the lower-spin background problem, we used the consistent electromagnetic and hadronic interactions described in our previous report. We used all available experimental data, including the recent MAMI A2 2018 data obtained for the $K^0Σ^+$ and $K^0Σ^0$ isospin channels. By fitting the calculated observables to these data we extract the resonance properties, including their Breit-Wigner and pole paramet…
Recently, significant enhancements of J/$ψ$ production at very low transverse momenta were observed by the ALICE and STAR collaboration in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. The anomaly excesses point to evidence of coherent photon-nucleus interactions in violent hadronic heavy-ion collisions, which were conventionally studied only in ultra-peripheral collisions. Assuming that the coherent photoproduction is the underlying mechanism which is responsible for the excess observed in peripheral A+A collisions, its contribution in p+p collisions with nuclear overlap, i.e. non-single-diffractive co…
Investigating the impact of the gluon saturation effects on the momentum transfer distributions for the exclusive vector meson photoproduction in hadronic collisions
We have investigated the effect of nucleon and delta resonances with spins 11/2, 13/2, and 15/2 in the kaon photoproduction process $γ+ N \to K + Y$ by using two covariant isobar models. The formalism for high-spin propagators and interaction Lagrangians were adopted from the works of Pascalutsa and Vrancx et al. The unknown parameters in the amplitudes, i.e., the coupling constants and hadronic form factor cutoffs, were obtained by fitting the calculated observables to experimental data. In the $KΛ$ channels the inclusion of $N(2600)I_{1,11}$ and $N(2700)K_{1,13}$ resonances improves the agre…
In the framework of eikonalized mini-jet model, contributions from gluon recombination effects are studied for the free proton in $pp$ and $\bar p p$ reactions. The nuclear configurational entropy is then used to calculate the main parameters to estimate the total proton cross sections for the recent data LHC, also corroborating to previous developments. Photoproduction cross sections with vector meson dominance and saturation effects for both total hadronic and photonic cross sections at a high energy regime are investigated. Extreme points of the configurational entropy provide the experimen…
We evaluate the phenomenological applicability of the dynamical grooming technique, introduced in [1], to boosted W and top tagging at LHC conditions. An extension of our method intended for multi-prong decays with an internal mass scale, such as the top quark decay, is presented. First, we tackle the reconstruction of the mass distribution of W and top jets quantifying the smearing due to pileup. When compared to state-of-the-art grooming algorithms like SoftDrop and its recursive version, dynamical grooming shows an enhanced resilience to background fluctuations. In addition, we asses the di…
