Hard-scattering factorization with heavy quarks: A general treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
A detailed proof of hard scattering factorization is given with the inclusion of heavy quark masses. Although the proof is explicitly given for deep-inelastic scattering, the methods apply more generally The power-suppressed corrections to the factorization formula are uniformly suppressed by a power of Λ/Q, independently of the size of heavy quark masses, M , relative to Q.

We discuss an NNLO realization of the general mass scheme S-ACOT-χ for treatment of heavy-flavor production in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering. The connection of this scheme to the QCD factorization theorem with massive quarks is elucidated. As a new feature, kinematical constraints on collinear production of heavy quarks that are crucial near the heavy-quark threshold are included in...
متن کاملB?J/?(?,K) Decays within QCD Factorization Approach
We used QCD factorization for the hadronic matrix elements to show that the existing data, in particular the branching ratios BR ( ?J/?K) and BR ( ?J/??), can be accounted for this approach. We analyzed the decay within the framework of QCD factorization. We have complete calculation of the relevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3. We calculated this decays in a special scale ...
متن کاملLeptoproduction of heavy quarks. I. General formalism and kinematics of charged current and neutral current production processes.
Existing calculations of heavy quark production in charged-current and neutral current lepton-hadron scattering are formulated differently because of the artificial distinction of “light” and “heavy” quarks made in the traditional approach. A proper QCD formalism valid for a wide kinematic range from near threshold to energies much higher then the quark mass should treat these processes in a un...

QCD factorization for exclusive non-leptonic B-meson decays: General arguments and the case of heavy–light final states Abstract We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates elements of the naive factorization approach and the hard-scattering approach , but allow...
