Intial State Radiation and Inclusive Hadron Production Measurements at Babar

چکیده

The status of analysis of processes with hard photon emitted from the initial state (ISR) at BABAR is presented. We tag events by the presence of a hard photon in the detector, then reconstruct μμ and several exckusive hadronic final states. The invariant mass of the final state determines an effective collision center of mass energy at which these measurements can be compared with results from direct ee annihilation process. The first results on ee → 2h2h, where h = π,K and on ee → J/ψ, obtained with a sample of 89.3 fb, are presented. Measurements of inclusive η, π, K and p/p̄ production cross sections below the Υ(4S) resonance are also presented. These measurements have nearly complete momentum coverage and precision comparable to the best measurements at higher energies. They therefore allow for precise tests of QCD predictions and fragmentation models at 10.54 GeV and of their scaling properties.

Hadron Physics at BaBar

The BABAR experiment at SLAC is designed to measure CP violation in the B meson system, however the very high statistics combined with the different e+ and e− beam energies, the detector design and the open trigger allow a wide variety of spectroscopic measurements. We are beginning to tap this potential via several production mechanisms. Here we present recent results from initial state radiat...

Initial State Radiation Physics at the B Factories

A mini-review of the recent BaBar and Belle results on the process e + e − → hadrons using the initial state radiation (ISR) technique, is presented. ISR studies at the Υ(4s) resonance (B-Factories) can yield to the same observables as the low energy e + e − experiments: Precise cross-section measurements, the R ratio (ratio of cross-sections of hadron production to di-muon production) measurem...

Prospects for R Measurement at BABAR using Radiative Return

A precise measurement of the ratio of hadron to muon production in ee collisions, denoted by R(s), is a necessary input for the interpretation of current precision electroweak measurements. We describe a method for measuring R(s) with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory using initial-state radiation events.

Beam thrust cross section for Drell-Yan production at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order.

At the LHC and Tevatron strong initial-state radiation (ISR) plays an important role. It can significantly affect the partonic luminosity available to the hard interaction or contaminate a signal with additional jets and soft radiation. An ideal process to study ISR is isolated Drell-Yan production, pp → Xℓ+ ℓ- without central jets, where the jet veto is provided by the hadronic event shape bea...

Inclusive Hadron Production in p+p Collisions at STAR

The STAR experiment at RHIC has measured a variety of inclusive hadron cross sections in p + p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. Measurements of the differential cross section for inclusive charged pion production at mid rapidity and for inclusive neutral pion production at forward rapidity (3.0 < η < 4.2) as well as the first preliminary result from STAR for the differential cross section for inclu...
