One-loop QCD corrections to quark scattering at NNLO∗

چکیده
We present the O(α s) virtual QCD corrections to unlike-quark qq̄ → q q̄ and like-quark scattering qq̄ → qq̄ due to the interference of one-loop amplitudes with one-loop amplitudes. The structure of the infrared divergences agrees with that predicted by Catani. The results are expressed in an analytic form so that the relevant expressions for crossed scattering processes can be obtained in a straightforward manner. The one-loop contributions presented here, together with the interference of tree with two-loop amplitudes given recently, complete the 2 → 2 virtual QCD corrections at NNLO for the massless quark scattering processes.

NNLO Vertex Corrections in charmless hadronic B decays: Imaginary part
We compute the imaginary part of the 2-loop vertex corrections in the QCD Factorization framework for hadronic two-body decays as B → ππ. This completes the NNLO calculation of the imaginary part of the topological tree amplitudes and represents an important step towards a NNLO prediction of direct CP asymmetries in QCD Factorization. Concerning the technical aspects, we find that soft and coll...
متن کاملNNLO vertex corrections in charmless hadronic B decays: Real part
We compute the real part of the 2-loop vertex corrections for charmless hadronic B decays, completing the NNLO calculation of the topological tree amplitudes in QCD factorization. Among the technical aspects we show that the hard-scattering kernels are free of soft and collinear infrared divergences at the 2-loop level, which follows after an intricate subtraction procedure involving evanescent...
متن کاملOn the NNLO QCD corrections to single-top production at the LHC
We present a fully-differential calculation of the NNLO QCD corrections to the t-channel mechanism for producing single top quarks at the LHC. We work in the structure function approximation, computing QCD corrections to the lightand heavy-quark lines separately and neglecting the dynamical cross-talk between the two. The neglected contribution, which appears at NNLO for the first time, is colo...
متن کاملNNLO QCD Corrections to the B̄ → X s γ Matrix Elements Using Interpolation in m c
One of the most troublesome contributions to the NNLO QCD corrections to B̄ → Xsγ originates from three-loop matrix elements of four-quark operators. A part of this contribution that is proportional to the QCD beta-function coefficient β0 was found in 2003 as an expansion in mc/mb. In the present paper, we evaluate the asymptotic behaviour of the complete contribution for mc ≫ mb/2. The asymptot...
متن کاملNNLO results for heavy quark and direct photon production near threshold
Heavy quark and direct photon production in hadronic collisions are processes of great interest. The discovery of the top has increased efforts in the calculation of heavy quark production cross sections while direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic correcti...
