Heavy quark impact factor in kT-factorization

2013

We present the calculation of the finite part of the heavy quark impact factor at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in a form suitable for phenomenological studies such as the calculation of the cross-section for single bottom quark production at the LHC within the kT-factorization scheme.

Spectator Effects in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory

1996

We present a complete analysis of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory Lagrangian at order $1/m^2$ in the leading logarithmic approximation, including effects induced by spectator quarks. At this order new correction terms appear in the effective Lagrangian, as four-quark operators containing both heavy and light quark fields. We compute the coefficients of these operators to one-loop order and in the leading-logarithmic approximation. Two of them break the heavy quark spin symmetry and we estimate their contribution to the hyperfine splitting of the heavy mesons in the factorization approximation. We find that they make a positive contribution to the hyperfine splitting of about 10% of the mea…

Parton showers from the dipole formalism

2007

We present an implementation of a parton shower algorithm for hadron colliders and electron-positron colliders based on the dipole factorisation formulae. The algorithm treats initial-state partons on equal footing with final-state partons. We implemented the algorithm for massless and massive partons.

The EPPS16 nuclear PDFs

2017

We report on EPPS16 - the first analysis of NLO nuclear PDFs where LHC p-Pb data (Z, W, dijets) have been directly used as a constraint. In comparison to our previous fit EPS09, also data from neutrino-nucleus deeply-inelastic scattering and pion-nucleus Drell-Yan process are now included. Much of the theory framework has also been updated from EPS09, including a consistent treatment of heavy quarks in deeply-inelastic scattering. However, the most notable change is that we no longer assume flavour-blind nuclear modifications for valence and sea quarks. This significantly reduces the theoretical bias. All the analysed data are well reproduced and the analysis thereby supports the validity o…

Some Decision Results on Nonrepetitive Words

1985

The paper addresses some generalizations of the Thue Problem such as: given a word u, does there exist an infinite nonrepetitive overlap free (or square free) word having u as a prefix? A solution to this as well as to related problems is given for the case of overlap free words on a binary alphabet.

Antiproton over proton and K$^-$ over K$^+$ multiplicity ratios at high $z$ in DIS

2020

The $\bar{\rm p} $ over p multiplicity ratio is measured in deep-inelastic scattering for the first time using (anti-) protons carrying a large fraction of the virtual-photon energy, $z>0.5$. The data were obtained by the COMPASS Collaboration using a 160 GeV muon beam impinging on an isoscalar $^6$LiD target. The regime of deep-inelastic scattering is ensured by requiring $Q^2$ > 1 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ for the photon virtuality and $W > 5$ GeV/$c^2$ for the invariant mass of the produced hadronic system. The range in Bjorken-$x$ is restricted to $0.01 < x < 0.40$. Protons and antiprotons are identified in the momentum range $20 ��60$ GeV/$c$. In the whole studied $z$-region, the $\…

Continuous numerical solutions of coupled mixed partial differential systems using Fer's factorization

1999

In this paper continuous numerical solutions expressed in terms of matrix exponentials are constructed to approximate time-dependent systems of the type ut A(t)uxx B(t)u=0; 0 0, u(0;t)=u(p;t)=0; u(x;0)=f(x);06 x6p. After truncation of an exact series solution, the numerical solution is constructed using Fer’s factorization. Given >0 and t0;t1; with 0<t0<t1 and D(t0;t1)=f(x;t); 06x6p; t06t6t1g the error of the approximated solution with respect to the exact series solution is less than uniformly in D(t0;t1). An algorithm is also included. c 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. AMS classication: 65M15, 34A50, 35C10, 35A50

A closed formula for the evaluation of foams

2020

International audience; We give a purely combinatorial formula for evaluating closed, decorated foams. Our evaluation gives an integral polynomial and is directly connected to an integral, equivariant version of colored Khovanov-Rozansky link homology categorifying the sl(N) link polynomial. We also provide connections to the equivariant cohomology rings of partial flag varieties.

QR-Factorization Algorithm for Computed Tomography (CT): Comparison With FDK and Conjugate Gradient (CG) Algorithms

2018

[EN] Even though QR-factorization of the system matrix for tomographic devices has been already used for medical imaging, to date, no satisfactory solution has been found for solving large linear systems, such as those used in computed tomography (CT) (in the order of 106 equations). In CT, the Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress back projection algorithm (FDK) and iterative methods like conjugate gradient (CG) are the standard methods used for image reconstruction. As the image reconstruction problem can be modeled by a large linear system of equations, QR-factorization of the system matrix could be used to solve this system. Current advances in computer science enable the use of direct methods for…
