Measurement of the ratios of the Z/γ∗+⩾n jet production cross sections to the total inclusive Z/γ∗ cross section in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV
2008
We present a study of events with Z bosons and jets produced at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data sample consists of nearly 14,000 Z/G* -> e+e- candidates corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 340 pb-1 collected using the D0 detector. Ratios of the Z/G* + >= n jet cross sections to the total inclusive Z/G* cross section have been measured for n = 1 to 4 jet events. Our measurements are found to be in good agreement with a next-to-leading order QCD calculation and with a tree-level QCD prediction with parton shower simulation and hadronization.
Measurement of D⁎±, D± and Ds± meson production cross sections in pp collisions at s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
2016
The production of D*(+/-), D-+/- and D-S(+/-) charmed mesons has been measured with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at,/7s = 7 TeV at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosi ...
The hadronic cross-section in the resonance energy region
2004
Abstract We study the hadronic vacuum polarization in the resonance energy region, using the framework given bythe Resonance Effective Theory of QCD. We consider the incorporation of vector-pseudoscalar meson loops that give, inclusively, three and four pseudoscalar meson cuts. After resummation we achieve a QCD-based inclusive parameterization of the correlator, hence of the hadronic cross-section in the energy region populated by resonances.
Vector Mesons and Dence Skyrmion Matter
2004
In our continuing effort to understand hadronic matter at high density, we have developed a unified field theoretic formalism for dense skyrmion matter using a single Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both matter and meson fluctuations and studied in-medium properties of hadrons. Dropping the quartic Skyrme term, we incorporate into our previous Lagrangian the vector mesons rho and omega in a form which is consistent with the symmetries of QCD. The results that we have obtained, reported here, expose a hitherto unsuspected puzzle associated with the role the omega meson plays at short distance. Since the omega meson couples to baryon density, it leads to a pseudo-gap scenario for the ch…
Gluon polarization in the nucleon from quasi-real photoproduction of high-pT hadron pairs
2006
Abstract We present a determination of the gluon polarization Δ G / G in the nucleon, based on the helicity asymmetry of quasi-real photoproduction events, Q 2 1 ( GeV / c ) 2 , with a pair of large transverse-momentum hadrons in the final state. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered on a polarized 6 LiD target. The helicity asymmetry for the selected events is 〈 A ∥ / D 〉 = 0.002 ± 0.019 ( stat ) ± 0.003 ( syst ) . From this value, we obtain in a leading-order QCD analysis Δ G / G = 0.024 ± 0.089 ( stat ) ± 0.057 ( syst ) at x g = 0.095 and μ 2 ≃ 3 ( GeV / c ) 2 .
Hadronic contribution to the muong−2factor: A theoretical determination
2012
The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$, ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$, is determined entirely from theory using an approach based on Cauchy's theorem in the complex squared energy $s$-plane. This is possible after fitting the integration kernel in ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$ with a simpler function of $s$. The integral determining ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$ in the light-quark region is then split into a low-energy and a high-energy part, the latter given by perturbative QCD (PQCD). The low energy integral involving the fit function to the integration kernel is determined by derivatives of the vector correlator at the origin,…
Analysis of the deuteron spin structure by COMPASS
2007
New results on the longitudinal inclusive spin asymmetry A 1 d in the range 1 Q 2 100 (GeV/c) 2 and 0.004 x 0.7 are presented. From these results we derive the spin-dependent structure function g 1 d which we include in a QCD analysis of the world data. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered off a large polarized 6 LiD target. The results are in agreement with those from previous experiments and improve considerably the statistical accuracy in the region 0.004 x 0.03 .
LOW-ENERGY QCD II — STATUS OF LATTICE CALCULATIONS
2013
The current status of lattice calculations is reviewed, with a particular emphasis on the question whether lattice simulations have matured to a stage where there is full interaction with experiment. Particular examples include the hadron spectrum, mesonic form factors and decay constants, the axial charge of the nucleon, and the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon (g-2).

On the Delta-nucleon and rho-pi splittings: A QCD-inspired look in free hadrons versus nuclei
1997
Relationships between mass intervals for free hadrons and in nuclei are studied in two theoretical approaches inspired by QCD: naive quark model and skyrmion model, taking one example each from mesons and baryons, that of pi-rho splitting in mesons, and nucleon-Delta splitting in baryons. Possible deconfinement effects in nuclei are examined.
