摘要:

现代加速器(如大型强子对撞机LHC)以及即将到来的新一代加速器(如电子-离子对撞机EIC)所能达到的质心能量,为我们提供了在迄今所及的最极端条件下研究强子物质的独特机会。特别是,我们可以进入QCD的Regge-Gribov区域,该区域由Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov(BFKL)方法及其非线性推广(B-JIMWLK方程组)描述。这些方法的目标是对大能量对数修正进行重求和,这些修正破坏了微扰级数在高能下的收敛性。上述方法在领头阶(LL)和次领头阶(NLL)近似下均已得到理论发展,但精确的完整NLL预言仍然是一个未解决的挑战。此外,将BFKL推广到NLL近似之外二十多年来一直是一个悬而未决的问题。我们从不同角度面对在该领域中追求精度的任务。具体而言,在BFKL方法框架内,我们计算了希格斯玻色子产生的次领头阶(NLO)影响因子。这是研究希格斯玻色子前向单举发射并伴随一个后向标识喷注所必需的要素。此外,利用已知的NLO影响因子,我们提出了一系列新的半硬反应,可用于在LHC上以NLL精度研究BFKL动力学。我们还考虑了将BFKL推广到NLL近似之外的问题,并计算了在次次领头阶(NNLL)精度下进入BFKL核的要素之一。最后,在饱和(非线性)框架中,我们以完整NLL精度计算了衍射双强子光致产生或电致产生截面,这对于在未来的EIC或已经在LHC上(通过超周边碰撞)探测饱和效应非常有用。

英文摘要:

The center-of-mass energies available at modern accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and at forthcoming generation accelerators, such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), offer us a unique opportunity to investigate hadronic matter under the most extreme conditions ever reached. In particular, we can access the Regge-Gribov regime of QCD, described by the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach along with its non-linear generalizations (the set of B-JIMWLK equations). The aim of these approaches is to resum large-energy logarithmic corrections which spoil the convergence of perturbative series at high-energy. The aforementioned approaches are theoretically developed both in the leading (LL) and the next-to-leading (NLL) approximation, but precise full NLL predictions still remains an open challenge. Furthermore, extending BFKL beyond the NLL approximation has been an open problem for more than twenty years. We face the task of hunting precision in this field from different perspectives. In particular, within the BFKL approach, we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) impact factor for the Higgs boson production. This is the necessary ingredient to study the inclusive forward emissions of a Higgs boson in association with a backward identified jet. Moreover, by using already known NLO impact factors, we propose a series of new semi-hard reactions that can be used to investigate BFKL dynamics at the LHC within NLL accuracy. We consider also the problem of extending BFKL beyond the NLL approximation and compute one of the ingredients entering the BFKL kernel at the next-to-NLL (NNLL) accuracy. Finally, in the saturation (non-linear) framework, we calculate the diffractive double hadron photo- or electroproduction cross sections with full NLL accuracy, useful to detect saturation effects, at both the future EIC or already at LHC (via Ultra Peripheral Collisions).
