Radiative corrections to Zbb̄ production
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on QCD radiative corrections to the process p¯ p → Zb ¯ b in the approximation in which the b quark is considered massless. The implementation of this process in the general purpose Monte Carlo program MCFM is discussed in some detail. These results are used to investigate backgrounds to Higgs boson production in the ZH channel. We investigate the Higgs mass range (100 GeV < m H < 130 GeV) for the Tevatron running at √ s = 2 TeV.

Constraints on Little Higgs with Fully-Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Abstract In a recent paper, we introduced a new Little Higgs model, which contains the gauge structure SU(2)3 × U(1), embedded in an approximate global SO(5) × SO(5) symmetry. After breaking to the standard model, SU(2)L × U(1)Y , this produces two heavy Z ′ bosons and two heavy W ′± bosons, along with a single Standard Model-like Higgs scalar. The unique feature of the model was that it was po...
متن کاملNLO QCD corrections to Wbb̄ and Zbb̄ production
We present NLO QCD results for Wbb̄ and Zbb̄ production at the Tevatron including full bottomquark mass effects. We study the impact of QCD corrections on both total cross-section and invariant mass distribution of the bottom-quark pair. Including NLO QCD corrections greatly reduces the dependence of the tree-level cross-section on the renormalization and factorization scales. We also compare our...
متن کاملWalking Technicolor and the Zbb̄ Vertex
A slowly-running technicolor coupling will affect the size of nonoblique corrections to the Zbb̄ vertex from extended technicolor dynamics. We show that while “walking technicolor” reduces the magnitude of the corrections, they generally remain large enough to be seen at LEP.

متن کاملThe Vertex Corrections in Technicolor Model without Exact Custodial Symmetry
We discuss the effects of isospin breaking which appear in the vertex corrections for Zbb̄, Zττ and Wντ in a one-family technicolor model without exact custodial symmetry. By means of the effective lagrangian approach we compute the vertex corrections for Zbb̄, Zττ and Wτν taking account of the contributions from technivectormesons. If the isospin symmetry in technilepton sector is not exact, tec...
متن کاملLeading log radiative corrections to deep inelastic production of heavy quarks
O(α) QED radiative corrections to neutral current deep inelastic production of heavy quarks are calculated in the leading log approximation and compared with the corresponding corrections assuming a massless charm parton. Besides the inclusive case, corrections to the semi-inclusive dσ/dxdydz and the effect of z-cuts are studied. In the latter case, the massless corrections differ from the corr...
