摘要:

强子对撞机上的前后向电荷不对称性(AFB)对有效弱混合角表示的电弱对称性破缺和部分子分布函数表示的初态质子结构信息都很敏感。由于它们之间的强相关性,用实测的AFB谱确定弱混合角和PDF的精度受到限制。本文定义了一组结构参数,用来分解AFB观测中夸克与反夸克相对差异的唯一质子信息。与传统的从PDF和EW计算的卷积中提取弱混合角的方法不同,我们提出了一种通过拟合观测的AFB分布来同时确定弱混合角和质子结构项的新方法,并指出了指定额外观测的必要性,以进一步减少质子结构项的不确定性。从而在未来的LHC实验中实现与模型无关的高精度测量。

英文摘要:

The forward-backward charge asymmetry (AFB) at hadron colliders is sensitive to both the electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking represented by the effective weak mixing angle, and the proton structure information in the initial state modeled by the parton distribution functions (PDFs). Due to their strong correlation, the precisions of the determination on the weak mixing angle and PDFs using the measured AFB spectrum are limited. In this paper, we define a set of structure parameters which factorize the unique proton information of the relative difference between quarks and antiquarks in the AFB observation. Other than the conventional way of extracting the weak mixing angle fro the convolution of PDF and EW calculations, we propose a new method to simultaneously determine the value of the weak mixing angle and the proton structure terms by fitting to the observed AFB distribution, and point out the necessity of specifying additional observations to further reduce the uncertainties on the proton structure terms respectively, so that the model-independent high precision measurements can be achieved at the future LHC experiments.
