Letting Real-Virtual Cancellations Happen by Themselves in QCD Calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
Calculations of observables in quantum chromodynamics are typically performed using a method that combines numerical integrations over the momenta of final state particles with analytical integrations over the momenta of virtual particles. I review a method for performing all of the integrations numerically. In this method, the real-virtual cancellations happen inside the integrals – simply because they are built into the Feynman rules. I indicate promising topics for further research on this subject.

A Multiple Commutator Formula for the Sum of Feynman Diagrams
In the presence of a large parameter, such as mass or energy, leading behavior of individual Feynman diagrams often get cancelled in the sum. This is known to happen in large-Nc QCD in the presence of a baryon, and also in the case of high-energy electron-electron as well as quark-quark scatterings. We present an exact combinatorial formula, involving multiple commutators of the vertices, which...
متن کاملResummations in QCD: recent developments
There are processes which involve two widely separated scalesQ andQ0, where Q is a hard scale, and real emissions characterised by momentum scales larger than Q0 are not measured, so that only their virtual counterpart contributes to physical observables. Since both real and virtual corrections are infrared and collinear (IRC) divergent, but their sum is finite, incomplete real-virtual cancella...
متن کاملDijet Rates with Symmetric Cuts
It was observed some time ago [1,2] that next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations are not able to describe dijet rates measured experimentally in the whole of the dijet phase space [3,4]. In particular in [2] a study was performed of the cross section σ(∆) for producing two jets with transverse energies Et1 > Et2, Et2 > Emin and Et1 > Emin+∆. There it was observed that σ(∆) at NLO was finit...
متن کاملJet Cross Sections in γγ-Scattering at ee Colliders in NLO QCD
Recent results from NLO QCD calculations for inclusive jet cross sections in γ∗γ-scattering at ee colliders, especially for LEP, are reported. The virtuality Q of the virtual photon is non-zero and can be unlimited large. The virtuality of the second photon is zero and the spectrum is calculated with the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation. Four components of the cross sections have to be disting...
متن کاملReal and Virtual Photon Structure at Hera
The structure of real and virtual photons has been studied in ep collisions at HERA using dijet production. Measurements of differential dijet cross sections as function of the fraction of photon’s momentum invested in the dijet system are presented. The dependence of the cross sections on the virtuality of the photon and mean transverse energy squared of the two leading jets has been investiga...
