NNLO global parton analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perform a NNLO (and a LO) global parton analysis in which we include the new precise data for deep inelastic scattering from HERA and for inclusive jet production at the Tevatron, together with the improved knowledge of the three-loop splitting functions. The results are compared with our recent NLO analyses. The LO fit produces significantly worse results in general, but gives a surprisingly good fit to the Tevatron high-E T jet data. For the approximate NNLO analysis we notice a slight improvement in the quality of the global fit, and find that the partons are changed by up to 10% at Q 2 = 10 GeV 2 , in particular in the x < 0.01 regime.

Studies of Higher Twist and Higher Order Effects in NLO and NNLO QCD Analysis
We report on the extraction of the higher twist contributions to F2 and R = σL/σT from global NLO and NNLO QCD fits to lepton nucleon scattering data over a wide range of Q 2. The NLO fits require both target mass and higher twist contributions at low Q 2. However, in the NNLO analysis, the data are described by the NNLO QCD predictions (with target mass corrections) without the need for any si...
متن کاملA Variable - Flavour Number Scheme for NNLO
At NNLO it is particularly important to have a Variable-Flavour Number Scheme (VFNS) to deal with heavy quarks because there are major problems with both the zero mass variable-flavour number scheme and the fixed-flavour number scheme. I illustrate these problems and present a general formulation of a Variable-Flavour Number Scheme (VFNS) for heavy quarks that is explicitly implemented up to NN...
متن کاملPhysical Gluons and high - E T Jets
Physical Gluons and high-E T Jets. Abstract We propose a more physical parameterization of the gluon distribution for global parton analyses of deep inelastic and related hard scattering data. In the new param-eterization the gluon distribution at large x in the MS-scheme is driven by the valence quarks, which naturally produces a shoulder-like form at high x, and hence produces a better descri...
متن کاملInfrared structure of e + e − → 3 jets at NNLO
We describe the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to three-jet production and related event shape observables in electron-positron annihilation. Infrared singularities due to double real radiation at tree level and single real radiation at one loop are subtracted from the full QCD matrix elements using antenna functions, which are then integrated analytical...
متن کاملEstimating the effect of NNLO contributions on global parton analyses
We use the recent estimates of NNLO splitting functions, made by van Neerven and Vogt, to perform exploratory fits to deep inelastic and related hard scattering data. We investigate the hierarchy of parton distributions obtained at LO, NLO and NNLO, and, more important, the stability of the resulting predictions for physical observables. We use the longitudinal structure function FL and the cro...
