For processes involving structure functions and/or fragmentation functions, arguments that there is a part that dominates the NLO corrections are briefly reviewed. The arguments are tested against more recent NLO and in particular NNLO calculations.
A complete next-to-leading order calculation of longitudinally polarized heavy quark photoproduction is presented. All results of the purturbative calculation are given in detail. For reactions and energies of interest cross sections differential in the transverse momentum and rapidity of the heavy quark, total cross sections and the corresponding asymmetries are given. Errors in the asymmetries are estimated and the possibility to distinguish between various scerarios of the polarized gluon distribution is discussed. Our results are compared with other related publications.
The results of a next-to-leading order calculation of heavy quark production in longitudinally polarized photon-nucleon collisions are presented. At c.m. energy $\sqrt{S}=10$ GeV, for $\vec γ+\vec p \to c+X$, cross sections differential in the transverse momentum and rapidity of the charmed quark $c$ and the corresponding asymmetries are presented; also, as functions of $\sqrt{S}$, integrated cross sections, $K$-factors and the corresponding asymmetries are given. Errors in the asymmetries are estimated and the possibility to distinguish between three scerarios differing essentially in the polarized gluon distribution is discussed.
Results of our next-to-leading order analytic calculation for longitudinally polarized photoproduction of heavy quarks are presented. Certain differential cross sections and the corresponding asymmetries are computed for energy ranges accessible to CERN and HERA. We argue that determination of the polarized gluon distribution is possible at both places: at HERA certain acceptance cuts are necessary.
Production of large-p_T hadron pairs by polarized photon on a longitudinally polarized proton towards probing the polarized gluon distribution is studied. Resolved photon contributions and the effect of changing the scales are taken into account, and predictions are presented. A very recent experimental result at c.m. energy 7.18 GeV is compared to our predictions extented down to this energy. A proper combination of cross sections is also considered.
