We calculate QCD corrections to transversely polarized Drell-Yan process at a measured $Q_T$ of the produced lepton pair in the dimensional regularization scheme. The $Q_T$ distribution is discussed resumming soft gluon effects relevant for small $Q_T$.
We discuss W gamma production in polarized p p collisions at RHIC energy. We point out that the RHIC collider has two advantages over other hadron colliders to measure the characteristic feature of W gamma production: (1) the RHIC energy is not so high and (2) the polarized beams are available. We calculate the tree level cross section for W gamma production using a generic spin basis for W and discuss both the angular dependence and spin correlation.
We review the nucleon's polarized structure functions from the viewpoint of gauge invariant, nonlocal light-cone operators in QCD. We discuss a systematic treatment of the polarized structure functions and the corresponding parton distribution functions. We also address a question of what information on the structure of Nature will be obtained from the future polarized experiments. From this point of view, we will discuss the W gamma production at RHIC polarized experiment.
We investigate the Sudakov double logarithmic corrections to the form factor of fermion in the SU(2)XU(1) electroweak theory. We adopt the familiar Feynman gauge and present explicit calculations at the two loop level. We show that the leading logarithmic corrections coming from the infrared singularities are consistent with the "postulated" exponentiated electroweak Sudakov form factor. The similarities and differences in the "soft" physics between the electroweak theory and the unbroken non-abelian gauge theory (QCD) will be clarified.
We discuss top quark production and its subsequent decay at lepton colliders including both QCD corrections and anomalous gamma / Z - t t-bar couplings. The off-diagonal spin basis for the top and anti-top quarks is shown to be useful to probe the anomalous couplings.
We review the basic aspects of the perturbative QCD based on the operator product expansion to analyze the nucleon structure functions in a pedagogical way. We explain the non-trivial relation between the QCD results and the parton model especially to understand the polarized nucleon structure functions which deserve much attentions in recent years.
We present methods to measure the beam polarizations and the luminosity of $γγ$ colliders at TeV energy scale. The beam polarizations of a $γγ$ collider can easily be monitored by comparing the numbers of events of the processes $γγ$ $\rightarrow$ $\ell^+ \ell^-$ and $γγ$ $\rightarrow$ $W^+ W^-$, where $\ell$ means $e$ or $μ$. The luminosity of a $γγ$ collider is also measurable by the event rate of $W$ boson pair productions and the light lepton pair productions.
