Next-To-Leading Order Cross Sections for Tagged Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the phase space slicing method of Giele, Glover and Kosower for performing next-to-leading order jet cross section calculations in two important ways: we show how to include fragmentation functions and how to include massive particles. These extensions allow the application of this method not just to jet cross sections but also to cross sections in which a particular final state particle, including a D or B-meson, is tagged.

Associated Higgs production with heavy quark pairs at hadron colliders
The reactions pp̄/pp → tt̄H +X represent important channels in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron and the LHC. In the leading perturbative order the cross sections suffer from severe (renormalization and factorization) scale uncertainties. The next-to-leading order QCD corrections stabilize the cross sections considerably. The calculation of these corrections is briefly...
متن کاملNext-to-leading Order Slepton Pair Production at Hadron Colliders
We compute total cross sections for various slepton pair production reactions l̃Lν̃L, l̃L ̄̃ lL, l̃R ̄̃ lR and ν̃L ̄̃ νL in next-to-leading order QCD. For pp̄ collisions at √ S = 2 TeV, we find leading order cross sections to be enhanced by typically 35% to 40%. For pp collisions at √ S = 14 TeV, the enhancement ranges from 25% to 35% depending on the mass of the sleptons. We comment upon the phenomenolog...
متن کاملDeep Inelastic Scattering with Tagged Photons at HERA
We calculate cross-sections for neutral current deep inelastic scattering at HERA with photon tagging. Both, the exact lowest-order cross-section and a leading logarithmic approximation of next-order corrections are calculated. The latter amounts to less than 20% in a large kinematical range. The integrations are performed numerically but without relying on Monte Carlo methods. Supported by the...
متن کاملGero Flucke: Ph.D. thesis
Charm production is investigated in the H1 experiment at the electron-proton collider HERA. The data of the years 1999 and 2000 are analysed, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 51.1 pb−1. Photoproduction is selected by detecting the scattered electron at small angles, leading to photon virtualities Q2 < 0.01 GeV2 and photon-proton centreof-mass energies 171 < Wγp < 256 GeV. Charm is t...
متن کاملSudakov Resummation and Finite Order Expansions of Heavy Quark Hadroproduction Cross Sections
We resum Sudakov threshold enhancements in heavy quark hadroproduction for singleheavy quark inclusive and pair-inclusive kinematics. We expand these resummed results and derive analytical finite-order cross sections through next-to-next-to-leading order. This involves the construction of next-to-leading order matching conditions in color space. For the scale dependent terms we derive exact res...
