Show moreProton-proton collisions at the LHC can be classified as elastic, non-diffractive, and diffractive. In this paper we discuss various measurements of these above processes at various LHC experiments. We report about the total proton-proton cross-section measurements, about the analysis of diffractive events and also about the pseudorapidity distribution in inelastic events.

Show moreRecent measurements of exclusive hadronic cross sections from the Babar Collaboration at SLAC are presented. Specifically, we present results on the e⁺e⁻ → K⁺K⁻(γ), p̅p, KₛKₗ, KₛKₗπ⁺π⁻ , KₛKₛπ⁺π⁻, and KₛKₛK⁺K⁻ cross sections performed using events with initial-state photon radiation, which allows the cross sections to be measured at low energy and over an extended energy range. In addition, we present results on the inclusive momentum spectra of identified charged pions, kaons, and protons at the fixed center-of-mass energy of 10.54 GeV, allowing new tests of QCD.

Show moreDiffractive particle production in ep collisions and coherent pp interactions is studied assuming that the color singlet t channel exchange carries large momentum transfer. The differential and total cross sections for vector meson and photon production are calculated using the non-forward solution of the LO and NLO BFKL equation at high energy and large momentum transfer and the predictions are compared with the DESY HERA data. Moreover, we estimate the rapidity distributions and total cross section for the J/Ψ and ρ production in coherent pp interactions at LHC energies. We predict large rates, which implies that the experimental identification can be feasible at the LHC.

Show moreThe quantum properties of a helix-like shaped QCD string are studied in the context of the semi-classical Lund fragmentation model. It is shown how simple quantization rules combined with the causality considerations in the string fragmentation process describe the mass hierarchy of light pseudoscalar mesons. The quantized helix string model predicts observable quantum effects related to the threshold behaviour of the intrinsic transverse momentum of hadrons, and of the minimal transverse momentum difference between adjacent hadrons.

Show moreWe report the first measurement of charged kaon Bose–Einstein correlations produced by 600 GeV/c Σ−, π− and 540 GeV/c p beams in the SELEX experiment. The SELEX (E781) experiment at Fermilab is a fixed target three–stage magnetic spectrometer designed for study hadroproduction at high acceptance for forward interactions (xF ≥ 0.1). One–dimensional charged kaon correlation functions were obtained for all three beams and three pair transverse momentum ranges. The femtoscopic parameters for the radii and correlation strength of the kaon source were extracted. The fit results show the decrease of the emission source radii with the increase of the pair transverse momentum.

Title: Kaon Freeze-out Dynamics in √sNN=200 GeV Au+Au Collisions at RHIC, Proceedings of the XLIII International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics

Show moreMeasurements of three-dimensional correlation functions of like-sign low transverse momentum kaon pairs from Au+Au collisions at top RHIC energy √sNN =200 GeV are presented. The extracted kaon source function is narrower than the pion one and does not have the long tail along the pair transverse momentum direction. This indicates a much smaller role of long-lived resonance decays and/or of the emission duration on kaon emission. Three-dimensional Gaussian shape of the kaon source function can be adequately reproduced by Therminator simulations with resonance contributions taken into account. Comparison to pion data at the same energy reveals that the kaon Gaussian radii in the outward and sideward directions scale with the transverse mass mT. In the longitudinal direction, unlike at lower SPS energies, the Gaussian radii do not seem to follow the exact mT scaling between kaons and pions.

Show moreWe describe a measurement of the strong coupling αS(MZ₀ ) from the 3-jet rate in hadronic final states of e⁺ e⁻ annihilation recorded with the JADE detector at centre-of-mass energies of 14 to 44 GeV. The jets are reconstructed with the Durham jet clustering algorithm. The JADE 3-jet rate data are compared with QCD predictions in NNLO combined with resummed calculations. We find good agreement between the data and the prediction and extract αS(MZ₀ ) = 0.1199±0.0010(stat.)±0.0021(exp.)±0.0054(had.)±0.0007(theo.) .

Show moreWe present the implementation within the Pythia8 event generator of a set of parton distributions based on NNPDF methodology. We construct a set of leading-order parton distributions with QED corrections, NNPDF2.3QED LO set, based on the same data as the previous NNPDF2.3 NLO and NNLO PDF sets. We compare this PDF set to its higher-order counterparts, we discuss its implementation as an internal set in Pythia8, and we use it to study some of the phenomenological implications of photon-initiated contributions for dilepton production at hadron colliders.

Show moreThe heavy quark content associated with gauge boson production is of great interest to studies of QCD. These events probe the gluon and heavy-quark parton distribution functions of the proton, and also provide a measurement of the rate of final state gluon splitting to heavy favor. In addition, gauge boson plus heavy quark events are representative of backgrounds to Higgs, single top, and supersymmetric particle searches. Recent work with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron has measured the cross-section of several gauge boson plus heavy flavor production processes, including the first Tevatron observation of specific charm process p͞p → W + c. Results are found to be in agreement with NLO predictions that include an enhanced rate of g → c͞c =b͞b splitting. Lastly, a new analysis promises to probe a lower pT (c) region than has yet been explored, by fully reconstructing D* → D^0 (Kπ)π decays in the full CDF dataset (9:7 fb^1).

Show moreThe production of weak vector bosons in association with jets and their properties are intensively studied using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector. In this proceedings, we will show the cross section measurement of the electroweak production of a Z boson in association with 2 jets at √s = 8 TeV, including a new data-driven approach and studies on the hadronic activity in the region between the two tagging jets. The azimuthal correlations and event shapes in Z + jets events at √s= 7 TeV are also presented.

Show moreIt is shown that in stochastic QCD a vacuum color quark is confined due to the interaction with environment, chaotic dynamics of Yang-Mills-Higgsfields, decoherence of pure color state into mixed white (colorless) state and also squeezed, and entangled states appearance. Critical energy of order-chaos transition is obtained which depends on Higgs boson mass. Stochasticity is the root of color confinement disappearing of color at confinement radius.

Title: The Tevatron energy scan: Findings & surprises, Proceedings of the XLIII International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics
Creator: Field, Rick
Date: 2013-09-15, 2013-09-15
Publisher: IIT Press
Description: At CDF we study charged particle production (pT > 0.5 GeV/c, |η|
Show moreAt CDF we study charged particle production (pT > 0.5 GeV/c, |η| < 0.8) in proton-antiproton collisions at 300 GeV, 900 GeV, and 1.96 TeV. The 300 GeV and 900 GeV data are a result of the “Tevatron Energy Scan” which was performed just before the Tevatron was shut down. We use the direction of the leading charged particle in each event, PTmax, to define three regions of η-φ space; “toward,” “away,” and “transverse.” The “trans- verse” region is further divided into the “transMAX” and “transMIN” con- tributions. The “transMIN” region is very sensitive to the multiple parton interaction component (MPI) of the “underlying event,” while the “trans-DIF” (“transMAX” minus “transMIN”) is very sensitive to the initial and final-state radiation. This CDF analysis together with LHC data provides a detailed study the energy dependence of the various components of the “underlying event” in hadronic collisions.
