We investigate the $B_{d,s}^0 \to f_1 f_1$ decays in the framework of perturbative QCD(PQCD) approach with a referenced value $ϕ_{f_1} \sim 24^\circ$. Here, $f_1$ denotes the axial-vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$ with mixing angle $ϕ_{f_1}$ in the quark-flavor basis. The observables such as branching ratios, direct CP violations, and polarization fractions of the $B_s^0 \to f_1 f_1$ decays are predicted for the first time. We find that: (i) the almost pure penguin modes $B_s^0 \to f_1 f_1$ have large branching ratios in the order of $10^{-6} \sim 10^{-5}$ due to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa enhancement and generally constructive interferences between the amplitudes of $B_s^0 \to f_n f_s$ and $B_s^0 \to f_s f_s$ with $f_n$ and $f_s$ being the quark-flavor states of $f_1$ mesons; (ii) The observables receive important contributions from the weak annihilation diagrams in the PQCD approach. In particular, without the annihilation contributions, the $B_s^0 \to f_1(1420) f_1(1420)$ branching ratio will decrease about 81% and its longitudinal polarization fraction will reduce around 43%. And (iii) the dependence of the $B_{d,s}^0 \to f_1 f_1$ decay rates on $ϕ_{f_1}$ exhibits some interesting line shapes, whose confirmations would be helpful to constrain the determination of $ϕ_{f_1}$ inversely. All the PQCD predictions await for the (near) future examinations at Large Hadron Collider beauty and/or Belle-II experiments to further understand the properties of the axial-vector mesons and the perturbative dynamics released from the considered decay modes.
Using the global properties of the QCD partition function we determine an all order perturbative beta function in the background gauge field method to find out that it has a simple expressions whose properties and consequences align with other recent results in the QCD literature. We further compute the non-perturbative beta functions for the coupling constant and the theta angle in the background of an instanton field with winding number $n$. We solve for the theta angle in the non-perturbative region to determine that it is approximately zero. By extrapolating to the full QCD beta functions …
Based on parametric reasoning, we provide a simple dynamical picture of how a perturbative parton cascade, in interaction with a QCD medium, fills phase space as a function of time.
Extraction of the x-dependence of the non-perturbative QCD b-quark fragmentation distribution component
利用最近在Z极记录的$e^+e^- \to b \bar{b}$事件中获得的b夸克碎裂分布的测量结果,独立于任何强子物理模型,提取了该分布的非微扰QCD分量。这种分布只取决于微扰QCD分量的定义方式。当微扰QCD分量取自部分子簇射Monte-Carlo时,非微扰QCD分量与Lund或Bowler模型的结果相当相似。当微扰QCD分量是解析NLL计算的结果时,非微扰QCD分量必须在非物理区域中扩展,因此不能用任何强子模型来描述。在目前研究的用于表征这两种情况的两个例子中,提取的非微扰QCD分布具有相同的形状,在第二种方法中被简单地转换为更高的x值,说明了解析微扰QCD方法比部分子簇射发生器更能解释更软的胶子辐射。
This talk brings attention to what is knowable from perturbative QCD theory on two-parton distribution functions in the light of CDF measuruments of the inclusive cross section for double parton scattering.
We present a construction of the pion electromagnetic form factor where the transition from large-Nc Regge vector meson dominance models with infinitely many resonances to perturbative QCD is built in explicitly. The construction is based on an appropriate assignment of residues to the Regge poles, which fulfills the constraints of the parton-hadron duality and perturbative QCD. The model contains a slowly falling off non-perturbative contribution which dominates over the perturbative QCD radiative corrections for the experimentally accessible momenta. The leading order and next-to-leading ord…
Non-relativistic bound state theories for QED and QCD have become fairly mature and amenable to a textbook-level understanding and computation. In this talk we give an introductory review of the following subjects related to the recent computation of the heavy quarkonium spectrum using perturbative QCD: (1) Technological developments in higher-order computation, (2) Physics predictions, (3) Challenge towards analytic evaluation of the 3-loop static QCD potential.
Using the explicit form of the known single distribution functions (the Green's functions) in the double logarithm approximation of perturbative QCD, we analyze the structure of splitting diagrams as a source of double parton perturbative correlations in the proton. The related phenomenological effects are discussed for the conditions of the LHC experiments.
These proceedings discuss some of the highlights of recent research in perturbative QCD as it relates to the LHC. Topics covered include the new generation of Monte Carlo event generators, the revolution that is occurring in NLO calculations, progress towards NNLO predictions and developments in the definition and use of jets.
In the framework of the perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless pure weak annihilation Bc->KK decay and find that the branching ratio BR(Bc->KK) O(10^-7). This prediction is so tiny that the Bc->KK decay might be unmeasurable at the Large Hadron Collider.
It is known that the correlator of one axial and two vector currents, that receives leading contributions through one-loop fermion triangle diagrams, is not modified by QCD radiative corrections at two loops. It was suggested that this non-renormalization of the VVA correlator persists in higher orders in perturbative QCD as well. To check this assertion, we compute the three-loop QCD corrections to the VAA-correlator u sing the technique of asymptotic expansions. We find that these corrections do not vanish and that they are proportional to the QCD beta-function.
Applicability of Perturbative QCD to $B\to D$ Decays
我们研究了微扰QCD对$B$介子衰变为$D$介子的适用性。我们发现,当$D$介子快速反冲时,包含中间能级Sudakov效应的微扰QCD形式适用于半轻子衰变$B\to D lν$.在此基础上,我们对两体非轻子衰变$B\to Dπ$和$B\to DD_s$进行了分析.通过比较我们的预测与实验数据,我们提取的矩阵元素$|V_{cb}|=0.044$。
