高亮度LHC上底味碎裂产生的高能QCD动力学

High-energy QCD dynamics from bottom flavor fragmentation at the Hi-Lumi LHC

Francesco Giovanni Celiberto

AI总结:

本研究针对LHC及高亮度升级阶段的底味强子产生,结合不同碎裂函数集与混合高能因子化方法分析相关分布,证实底味发射可稳定高能重求和,且结果与LHCb数据吻合,为高能QCD精确研究提供新基准。

摘要:

我们研究了大型强子对撞机(LHC)及其亮度升级阶段中含底味强子的遍举产生过程。对于单底味强子、B介子和Λ_b重子的共线碎裂,我们采用KKSS07碎裂函数测定结果进行描述;而对于含粲味的B介子,即B_c(^1S_0)和B_c(^3S_1)粒子,我们使用基于最新非相对论量子色动力学(QCD)输入构建的全新ZCFW22函数集。我们借助JETHAD多模块工作环境,分析对双强子伴随发射或强子-喷注系统敏感的可观测量的快度和横动量分布。我们的参考理论框架是NLL/NLO^+混合共线与高能因子化方法,该方法在标准共线描述的基础上,纳入了重求和至次领头近似及更高阶的能量对数项,从而对描述进行了改进。我们提供了佐证证据,表明底味发射可作为高能重求和的良好稳定器,因此是开展高能QCD精确研究的宝贵工具。作为额外成果,我们强调,非粲味底强子与含粲味B_c(^1S_0)介子之间的产生率层级预测,与近期LHCb的估算结果一致。这同时为混合因子化方法,以及基于通过非相对论QCD有效理论计算的初始标度输入的单部分子碎裂机制提供了基准。

英文摘要:

We study the inclusive production of hadrons with bottom flavor at the LHC and its luminosity upgrade. We describe the collinear fragmentation of singly $b$-flavored hadrons, $B$ mesons and $Λ_b$ baryons, via the KKSS07 determination of fragmentation functions, while for charmed $B$ mesons, $B_c(^1S_0)$ and $B_c(^3S_1)$ particles, we employ the novel ZCFW22 set, built on the basis of state-of-the-art nonrelativistic QCD inputs. We use the JETHAD multimodular working environment to analyze rapidity and transverse-momentum distributions for observables sensitive to the associated emission of two hadrons or a hadron-plus-jet system. Our reference formalism is the NLL/NLO$^+$ hybrid collinear and high-energy factorization, where the standard collinear description is improved by the inclusions of energy logarithms resummed up to the next-to-leading approximation and beyond. We provide a corroborating evidence that $b$-flavor emissions act as fair stabilizers of the high-energy resummation, thus serving as valuable tools for precision studies of high-energy QCD. As a bonus, we highlight that the predicted production-rate hierarchy between noncharmed $b$-hadrons and charmed $B_c(^1S_0)$ mesons is in line with recent LHCb estimates. This serves as simultaneous benchmark both for the hybrid factorization and for the single-parton fragmentation mechanism based on initial-scale inputs calculated via the nonrelativistic QCD effective theory.
