Tevatron-for-LHC Report: Top and Electroweak Physics

The top quark and electroweak bosons (W and Z) represent the most massive fundamental particles yet discovered, and as such refer directly to the Standard Model's greatest remaining mystery: the mechanism by which all particles gained mass. This report summarizes the work done within the top-ew group of the Tevatron-for-LHC workshop. It represents a collection of both Tevatron results, and LHC predictions. The hope is that by considering and comparing both machines, the LHC program can be improved and aided by knowledge from the Tevatron, and that particle physics as a whole can be enriched. The report includes measurements of the top quark mass, searches for single top quark production, and physics of the electroweak bosons at hadron colliders.

SANCnews: Sector 4f, Charged Current

In this paper we describe the implementation of the charged current decays of the kind t --> b l^+ nu_l (gamma) into framework of SANC system. All calculations are done taking into account one-loop electroweak correction in the Standard Model. The emphasis of this paper is done on the presentation of numerical results. Various distributions are produced by means of a Monte Carlo integrator and event generator. Comparison with the results of CompHEP and PYTHIA packages are presented for the Born and hard photon contributions. The validity of the cascade approximation at one-loop level is also studied.

The three channels of the process f_1 bar-f_1 H A --> 0 in the SANC framework

In this paper we describe the implementation of the processes f_1 bar-f_1 H A --> 0 into the framework of SANC system. Here A stands for a photon and f_1 -- for a massless fermion whose mass is neglected everywhere besides arguments of logarithmic functions. The symbol --> 0 means that all 4-momenta flow inwards. The derived one-loop scalar form factors can be used for any cross channel after an appropriate permutation of their arguments s,t,u. We present the covariant and helicity amplitudes for all three possible cross channels. For checking of the correctness of the results first of all we observe the independence on the gauge parameters and the validity of Ward identity (external photon transversality), and, secondly, we make an extensive comparison with the other independent calculations.

Light-by-light scattering in SANC

In this paper we describe the implementation of the QED process $γγ\toγγ$ through a fermion loop into the framework of SANC system. The computations of this process takes into account non-zero mass of loop-fermion. We briefly describe additional precomputation modules used for calculation of massive fermion-box diagrams. We present the covariant and helicity amplitudes for this process and also some particular cases of $D_0$ and $C_0$ Passarino-Veltman functions. Whenever possible, we compare the results with those existing in the literature.

SANCscope -- v.1.00

In this article we have summarized the status of the system SANC version 1.00. We have implemented theoretical predictions for many high energy interactions of fundamental particles at the one-loop precision level for up to 4-particle processes. In the present part of our SANC description we place emphasis on an extensive discussion of an important first step of calculations of the one-loop amplitudes of 3- and 4-particle processes in QED, QCD and EW theories. SANC version v1.00 is accessible from servers at Dubna http://sanc.jinr.ru/ (159.93.74.10) and CERN http://pcphsanc.cern.ch/ (137.138.180.42)

Physics at the CLIC Multi-TeV Linear Collider

This report summarizes a study of the physics potential of the CLIC e+e- linear collider operating at centre-of-mass energies from 1 TeV to 5 TeV with luminosity of the order of 10^35 cm^-2 s^-1. First, the CLIC collider complex is surveyed, with emphasis on aspects related to its physics capabilities, particularly the luminosity and energy, and also possible polarization, γγand e-e- collisions. The next CLIC Test facility, CTF3, and its R&D programme are also reviewed. We then discuss aspects of experimentation at CLIC, including backgrounds and experimental conditions, and present a conceptual detector design used in the physics analyses, most of which use the nominal CLIC centre-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. CLIC contributions to Higgs physics could include completing the profile of a light Higgs boson by measuring rare decays and reconstructing the Higgs potential, or discovering one or more heavy Higgs bosons, or probing CP violation in the Higgs sector. Turning to physics beyond the Standard Model, CLIC might be able to complete the supersymmetric spectrum and make more precise measurements of sparticles detected previously at the LHC or a lower-energy linear e+e- collider: γγcollisions and polarization would be particularly useful for these tasks. CLIC would also have unique capabilities for probing other possible extensions of the Standard Model, such as theories with extra dimensions or new vector resonances, new contact interactions and models with strong WW scattering at high energies. In all the scenarios we have studied, CLIC would provide significant fundamental physics information beyond that available from the LHC and a lower-energy linear e+e- collider, as a result of its unique combination of high energy and experimental precision.

Update of one-loop corrections for E+ E- --> F anti-F, first run of SANC system

We present a description of calculations of the amplitude for E+ E- --> F anti-F process with account of electroweak and QED one-loop corrections. This study is performed within the framework of the project SANC. The calculations are done within the OMS (on-mass-shell) renormalization scheme in two gauges: in Rxi, which allows an explicit control of gauge invariance by examining cancellation of gauge parameters and search for gauge-invariant subsets of diagrams, and in the unitary gauge as a cross-check. The formulae we derived are realized in two independent FORTRAN codes, eeffLib, which was written in an old fashioned way, i.e. manually, and another one, created automatically with an aid of s2n.f (symbols to numbers) software -- a part of SANC system. We present a comprehensive comparison with the results of the well-known program ZFITTER for all the light fermion production channels, as well as with the results existing in the world literature for the process E+ E- --> F anti-F;

Project {\tt SANC} (former {\tt CalcPHEP}): Support of Analytic and Numeric calculations for experiments at Colliders

The project, aimed at the theoretical support of experiments at modern and future accelerators -- TEVATRON, LHC, electron Linear Colliders (TESLA, NLC, CLIC) and muon factories, is presented. Within this project a four-level computer system is being created, which must automatically calculate, at the one-loop precision level the pseudo- and realistic observables (decay rates and event distributions) for more and more complicated processes of elementary particle interaction, using the principle of knowledge storing. It was already used for a recalculation of the EW radiative corrections for Atomic Parity Violation [1] and complete one-loop corrections for the process $e^+ e^-\to t\bar{t}$ [2-4]; for the latter an, agreement up to 11 digits with FeynArts and the other results is found. The version of {\tt SANC} that we describe here is capable of automatically computing the decay rates and the distributions for the decays $Z(H,W)\to f\bar{f}$ in the one-loop approximation.

Project "CalcPHEP: Calculus for Precision High Energy Physics"

In this paper we describe the present status and our plans for the realization of next phases of the CalcPHEP project aimed at the theoretical support of experiments at modern and future accelerators: TEVATRON, LHC, electron Linear Colliders (LC's) i.e. TESLA, NLC, CLIC, and muon factories. Within this project, we are creating a four-level computer system which eventually must automatically calculate pseudo- and realistic observables for more and more complicated processes of elementary particle interactions, using the principle of knowledge storing. The first phase of the CalcPHEP system was realized in the site http://brg.jinr.ru/ in 2000--2001.

Further study of the E+ E- --> F anti-F process with the aid of CalcPHEP system

In this paper we complete a description of calculation of the one-loop amplitude for e+e- -->f fbar process started in CERN-TH/2001-308. This study is performed within the framework of the project CalcPHEP. Here we add QED subsets of the one-loop diagrams and the soft-photon contribution. The formulae we derived are realized in two independent FORTRAN codes,eeffLib, which was written in an old fashioned way, i.e. manually, and another one, created automatically with an aid of s2n_f (symbols to numbers) software -- a part of CalcPHEP system. We present a comprehensive comparison between the two our codes as well as with the results existing in the world literature.

We present a comprehensive comparison between eeffLib results for the light top with corresponding results of the well-known program ZFITTER for the u ubar channel, as well as a preliminary comparison with results existing in the world literature.

Predictions for ${\bar ν} νγ$ Production at LEP

We study predictions for the reaction $e^+e^- \to {\bar ν} ν(n γ)$. The complete one-loop corrections are taken into account and higher order contributions, in particular those for the observed real photons, are added whenever necessary. The event generator \KK MC, a general-purpose Monte Carlo generator for the process $e^+e^- \to \bar f f nγ$ based on the method of exclusive exponentiation, is used as the environment. We extend its applicability to the process $e^+e^- \to \bar ν_l ν_l nγ$, $l=e,μ,τ$, where the observation of at least a single $γ$ is required. The exponentiation is implemented in much the same way as for the s-channel process alone. In particular, all photonic effects present in the case of W exchange, which {\it cannot} be included in the s-channel exponentiation scheme, are calculated to a finite order only. The real hard photon matrix element is calculated up to ${\cal O} ({α^2})$. Leading logarithmic contributions of the two-loop corrections and one-loop photonic corrections accompanying real single photon emission are included. The electroweak corrections are calculated with the DIZET library of the ZFITTER package. Numerical tests and predictions for typical observables are presented.

Atomic Parity-Violation and Precision Physics

The atomic parity-violation (APV) parameter QW for a nucleus with `n' neutrons and `z' protons has been included in the list of pseudo-observables accessible with the codes TOPAZ0 and ZFITTER. In this way one can add the APV results in the LEP EWWG `global' electroweak fits, checking the corresponding effect when added to the existing precision measurements.

This report summarizes the results of the two-fermion working group of the LEP2-MC workshop, held at CERN from 1999 to 2000. Recent developments in the theoretical calculations of the two fermion production process in the electron-positron collision at LEP2 center of the mass energies are reported. The Bhabha process and the production of muon, tau, neutrino and quark pairs is covered. On the basis of comparison of various calculations, theoretical uncertainties are estimated and compared with those needed for the final LEP2 data analysis.

This report summarises the results of the four-fermion working group of the LEP2-MC workshop, held at CERN from 1999 to 2000. Recent developments in the calculation of four-fermion processes in electron-positron collisions at LEP-2 centre-of-mass energies are presented, concentrating on predictions for four main reactions: W-pair production, visible photons in four-fermion events, single-W production and Z-pair production. Based on a comparison of results derived within different approaches, theoretical uncertainties on these predictions are established.

ZFITTER v.6.21 - A Semi-Analytical Program for Fermion Pair Production in e+e- Annihilation

We describe ZFITTER, a Fortran program based on a semi-analytical approach to fermion pair production in e+e- annihilation at a wide range of centre-of-mass energies, including the PETRA, TRISTAN, LEP1/SLC, and LEP2 energies. A flexible treatment of complete O(alpha) QED corrections and of some higher order contributions is made possible with three calculational chains containing different realistic sets of restrictions in the photon phase space. Numerical integrations are at most one-dimensional. Complete O(alpha) weak loop corrections supplemented by selected higher-order terms may be included. The program calculates Delta r, the Z width, differential cross-sections, total cross-sections, integrated forward-backward asymmetries, left-right asymmetries, and for tau pair production also final-state polarization effects. Various interfaces allow fits to be performed with different sets of free parameters.
