摘要:

质子的部分子分布函数(PDF)在决定大型强子对撞机产生的$Z$和$W$玻色子的线型方面起着重要作用。特别地,规范玻色子虚性的模式相对于极点移动,这是由于部分子光度对玻色子虚性的依赖。这种位移的知识有助于直接测量玻色子质量的系统不确定性。详细研究的移位和它的系统的不确定性,由于知识有限的PDF获得使用树级模型的$Z$和$W$玻色子生产质子-质子碰撞在$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV。利用蒙特卡罗模拟进一步验证了树能级模型的正确性,并研究了位移对规范玻色子横动量的依赖关系。树级计算被发现提供了一个很好的描述的转变。由于PDF的线形的系统不确定性估计为低于一兆电子伏的相空间相关的未来高精度质量测量的规范玻色子质量在大型强子对撞机。

英文摘要:

The parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton play a role in determining the lineshape of $Z$ and $W$ bosons produced at the LHC. In particular, the mode of the gauge boson virtuality is shifted with respect to the pole due to the dependence of the partonic luminosity on the boson virtuality. The knowledge of this shift contributes to the systematic uncertainty for a direct measurement of the boson mass. A detailed study of the shift and of its systematic uncertainty due to the limited knowledge of the PDFs is obtained using a tree-level model of $Z$ and $W$ boson production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. A Monte Carlo simulation is further used to validate the tree-level model and study the dependence of the shift on the transverse momentum of the gauge bosons. The tree-level calculation is found to provide a good description of the shift. The systematic uncertainty on the lineshape due to the PDFs is estimated to be below one MeV in the phase-space relevant for a future high-precision mass measurement of the gauge boson masses at the LHC.
