Constraining fragmentation functions through hadron-photon production at higher-orders

چکیده
In certain situations, such as one-particle inclusive processes, it is possible to model the hadronization through Fragmentation Functions (FFs), which are universal non-perturbative functions extracted from experimental data advanced fitting techniques. Constraining parameters of fits crucial reduce uncertainties, and provide reliable accurate FFs. this article, we explore strategies relate pion FFs for other hadrons (in particular, kaons), comparing cross-section ratios imposing proper kinematical cuts. We exploit phenomenology photon-hadron production at colliders, including up NLO QCD LO QED corrections, make use formulae reconstruct partonic momentum fractions. By studying different cuts, manage isolate contribution $u$-started Then, $z$-spectrum kaon production, with corresponding ratios. The methodology described in article can be used any pair hadrons, could further explored keep track flavour partons undergoing hadronization.

Charmonium Production via Fragmentation at Higher Orders in α s
Quarkonium production at a given large p T is dominated by parton fragmentation: a parton which is produced with transverse momentum p T /z fragments into a quarkonium state which carries a fraction z of the parton momentum. Since parton production cross sections fall steeply with p T , high z fragmentation is favored. However, quantum number constraints may require the emission of gluons in th...
متن کاملDecisive role of fragmentation functions in hard hadron production.
It is demonstrated that the fragmentation functions at large momentum fraction play a key role in hard hadron production from relativistic proton-proton collisions. We find that this region of the fragmentation functions is not strongly constrained by the electron-positron data. This freedom can be used (together with the transverse-momentum distribution of partons) to reproduce hard pion-to-pr...
متن کاملAll-orders Resummation for Diphoton Production at Hadron Colliders
We present a QCD calculation of the transverse momentum distribution of photon pairs produced at hadron colliders, including all-orders soft-gluon resummation valid at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We specify the region of phase space in which the calculation is most reliable, compare our results with data from the Fermilab Tevatron, and make predictions for the Large Hadron Col...
متن کاملVirtual photon fragmentation functions
We introduce operator definitions for virtual photon fragmentation functions, which are needed for reliable calculations of Drell-Yan transverse momentum (QT ) distributions when QT is much larger than the invariant mass Q. We derive the evolution equations for these fragmentation functions. We calculate the leading order evolution kernels for partons to fragment into a unpolarized as well as a...
متن کاملBc meson production at hadron colliders by heavy quark fragmentation.
We present a reliable estimate on the production rate of Bc mesons in 1S and 2S states in the large transverse momentum region at hadronic colliders using heavy quark fragmentation functions derived within the framework of perturbative QCD. We also present the transverse momentum distribution for the Bc mesons. The production rate is large enough for the Bc mesons to be identified at the Tevatr...
