Detailed Comparison of Next-to-Leading Order Predictions for Jet Photoproduction at HERA

The precision of new HERA data on jet photoproduction opens up the possibility to discriminate between different models of the photon structure. This requires equally precise theoretical predictions from perturbative QCD calculations. In the past years, next-to-leading order calculations for the photoproduction of jets at HERA have become available. Using the kinematic cuts of recent ZEUS analyses, we compare the predictions of three calculations for different dijet and three-jet distributions. We find that in general all three calculations agree within the statistical accuracy of the Monte Carlo integration yielding reliable theoretical predictions. In certain restricted regions of phase space, the calculations differ by up to 5%.

Theoretical Overview of Jet Photoproduction at HERA

We review the theoretical framework of jet photoproduction at HERA discussing the conceptual ideas, phenomenological models, and higher order perturbative calculations. Numerically, we study the physically interesting distribution of transverse energy within the observed jet, the real and virtual photon structure, and the proton structure at large x.

Inclusive Jet Production with Virtual Photons in Next-to-Leading Order QCD

We present a next-to-leading order calculation for the virtual photoproduction of one and two jets in $ep$ collisions. Soft and collinear singularities are extracted using the phase space slicing method. The collinear photon initial state singularity depends logarithmically on the mass of the virtual photon and is absorbed into the virtual photon structure function. An $\overline{MS}$ factorization scheme is defined similarly to the real photon case. Numerical results are presented for HERA conditions using the Snowmass jet definition for inclusive single jet and dijet cross sections. We study the dependence of these cross sections on the transverse energies and rapidities of the jets. Finally, we compare the ratio of the experimentally defined resolved and direct cross sections with recent ZEUS data as a function of the photon virtuality $P^2$.

Jet Shapes in $ep$ and $p\overline{p}$ Collisions in NLO QCD

We have calculated jet shapes in low $Q^2$ $ep$ and $p\overline{p}$ collisions in perturbation theory at order $α_s^3$ for the hard parton-parton processes. For the $γp$ process resolved and direct contributions are superimposed. The dependence of the jet shapes on transverse energy, rapidity, and inner cone extension is studied. The numerical results of the calculation are compared with recent data from ZEUS at HERA and from CDF and D0 at the TEVATRON. Good agreement is achieved if the problem of merging overlapping jets is taken into account by varying the parameter $R_{sep}$ as a function of transverse energy and rapidity.

Inclusive Two-Jet Production at HERA: Direct and Resolved Cross Sections in Next-to-Leading Order QCD

We have calculated inclusive two-jet cross sections in next-to-leading order QCD for low Q^2 ep collisions superimposing direct and resolved contributions. Infrared and collinear singularities in the virtual and real contributions are cancelled with the phase space slicing method. Various inclusive two-jet distributions have been computed. The results are compared with recent data from the ZEUS collaboration at HERA.

Matching Experimental and Theoretical Jet Definitions for Photoproduction at HERA

Predictions from a new next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation for direct and resolved photoproduction of one and two jets are compared to simulated HERA data. We propose a method to match experimental and theoretical jet definitions and observe a reduced dependence on jet definitions and hadronization corrections at larger transverse energies. From the irreducible uncertainty, we estimate the maximum benefit that can be obtained from increased luminosity to constrain the structure of the photon and the proton.

Photoproduction of jets at HERA

Recent NLO calculations for the photoproduction of one and two jets at HERA are compared to data from H1 and ZEUS. We discuss the physics potential of these measurements for constraining the photon structure, especially the quark density at large $x$, and study remaining hadronization and jet definition uncertainties.

Large Transverse Momentum Jet Production and DIS Distributions of the Proton

We have calculated the single jet inclusive cross section as measured at Fermilab in next-to-leading order QCD using recent parton distributions of the CTEQ collaboration. We studied the scheme dependence of the jet cross section by employing the $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ and DIS factorization schemes consistently. For $E_T > 200$ GeV, we find that the cross section in the DIS scheme is larger than in the $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ scheme yielding a satisfactory description of the CDF data over the whole $E_T$ range in the DIS scheme.

Inclusive Dijet Production at HERA: Direct Photon Cross Sections in Next-To-Leading Order QCD

We have calculated inclusive two-jet cross sections in next-to-leading order QCD for direct photoproduction in low $Q^2$ $ep$ collisions at HERA. Infrared and collinear singularities in real and virtual contributions are cancelled with the phase space slicing method. Analytical formulas for the different contributions giving the dependence on the slicing parameter are presented. Various one- and two-jet distributions have been computed demonstrating the flexibility of the method.
