We consider charmonium polarization at high-energy hadron collider Tevatron in the framework of the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) and the k_T-factorization approach. The polarization effects are studied for the direct and the prompt production channels. The obtained predictions can be used to test the Regge limit of QCD and the NRQCD formalism.
We study J/psi photoproduction via the fusion and fragmentation mechanisms at the HERA Collider within the frameworks of the collinear parton model and the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics approach using the factorization formalism of non-relativistic QCD at leading order in the strong-coupling constant alpha_s and the relative velocity v of the bound quarks. It is shown that the fusion production mechanism dominates over the fragmentation production mechanism at the all relevant J/psi transverse momenta. The J/psi meson p_T-spectra in the fragmentation and fusion production at the asymptotically large p_T have equal slopes in the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics approach, oppocite the collinear parton model.
We study bottomonium hadroproduction in proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron in the framework of the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics approach and the factorization formalism of non-relativistic QCD at leading order in the strong-coupling constant alpha_s and the relative velocity v of the bound quarks. The transverse-momentum distributions of prompt Upsilon(nS)-meson production measured at the Tevatron are fitted to obtain the non-perturbative long-distance matrix elements for different choices of un-integrated gluon distribution functions of the proton.
We study charmonium production at high-energy colliders (Tevatron, HERA, and LEP2) in the framework of the k_T-factorization approach and the factorization formalism of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics at leading order in the strong-coupling constant alpha_s and the relative velocity v. The transverse-momentum distributions of direct and prompt J/psi-meson production measured at the Fermilab Tevatron are fitted to obtain the non-perturbative long-distance matrix elements for different choices of unintegrated gluon distribution functions in the proton. Using the matrix elements thus obtained, we predict charmonium production rates in gamma-gamma, gamma-p, and deep-inelastic e-p collisions including the contributions from both direct and resolved photons. The results are compared with the known ones obtained in the conventional parton model and with recent experimental data from HERA and LEP2.
In the framework of the kT-factorization approach we have calculated in the fragmentation model the pT-spectra of B(c) mesons at the energies of the Tevatron and the LHC Colliders and at the large pT domain. We compare the obtained results with the existing experimental data and with the predictions obtained in the collinear parton model.
We compare the predictions of the collinear parton model and the k_T-factorization approach in JΨand D^\star meson photoproduction at HERA energies. It is shown that obtained in the both approaches D^\star meson spectra over p_T and ηas well as JΨmeson p_T- and z-spectra are very different. The predictions obtained in the k_T-factorization approach are agree with the experimental data well. We also predict the nontrivial p_T-dependence of the the spin parameter $α(p_T) in the JΨphotoproduction.
The p_T-spectra for direct J/psi and psi' in hadroproduction at Tevatron energy have been calculated based on NRQCD formalism and fragmentation approximation in the collinear parton model and k_T-factorization approach. We have described the CDF data and obtained a good agreement between the predictions obtained in the parton model and k_T-factorization approach. We performed the calculations using the relevant leading order in alpha_s hard amplitudes and the equal values of the color-octet long-distance matrix elements for the both models.
It is shown that the difference between the c-quark proton structure functions calculated in the k_T-factorization approach using different unintegrated gluon distribution functions is the same order as the difference between results obtained in the parton model and in the k_T-factorization approach.
We evaluate the masses of baryons composed of two heavy quarks and a strange quark with account for spin-dependent splittings in the framework of potential model with the KKO potential motivated by QCD with a three-loop beta-function for the effective charge consistent with both the perturbative limit at short distances and linear confinement term at long distances between the quarks. The factorization of dynamics is supposed and explored in the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation for the motion in the system of two heavy quarks constituting the doubly heavy diquark and the strange quark interaction with the diquark. The limits of approach, its justification and uncertainties are discussed. Excited quasistable states are classified by the quantum numbers of heavy diquark composed by the heavy quarks of the same flavor.
Processes of heavy quark production at TEVATRON energies are considered using the semihard (k_T factorization) QCD approach with emphasis of the BFKL dynamics of gluon distributions. We investigate the dependence of the p_T distribution of heavy quark production (presented in the form of integrated cross-sections) on different forms of the unintegrated gluon distribution. The theoretical results are compared with recent D0 and CDF experimental data on beauty production.
We consider J/psi meson photoproduction on protons at high energies at the leading order in alpha_s using conventional parton model and k_t-factorization approach of QCD. It is shown that in the both cases the colour singlet mechanism gives correct description for experimental data from HERA for the total cross section and for the J/psi meson z-spectrum at realistic values of a c-quark mass and meson wave function at the origin Psi (0). At the same time our predictions for p_t-spectrum of J/psi meson and for p_t dependence of the spin parameter alpha obtained in k_t-factorization approach are very different from the results obtained in conventional parton model. Such a way the experimental study of a polarized J/psi meson production at the large p_t should be a direct test of BFKL gluons.
We consider a general scheme for calculating the leptonic constant of heavy quarkonium QQ-bar in the framework of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, NRQCD, operating as the effective theory of nonrelativistic heavy quarks. We explore the approach of static potential in QCD, which takes into account both the evolution of effective charge in the three-loop approximation and the linearly raising potential term, which provides the quark confinement. The leptonic constants of bb-bar and cc-bar systems are evaluated by making use of two-loop anomalous dimension for the current of nonrelativistic quarks, where the factor for the normalization of matrix element is introduced in order to preserve the renormalization group invariance of estimates.
The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states, that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.
The production of baryons containing two charmed quarks Xi_cc in hadronic interactions at high energies and large transverse momenta is considered. It is supposed, that Xi_cc-baryon is formed during a non-perturbative fragmentation of the (cc)-diquark, which was produced in the hard process of $c$-quark scattering from the colliding protons: c+c -> (cc) +g. It is shown that such mechanism enhances the expected doubly charmed baryon production cross section on Tevatron and LHC colliders approximately 2 times in contrast to predictions, obtained in the model of gluon - gluon production of (cc)-diquarks in the leading order of perturbative QCD.
The two-particle hadronic decays of B_c meson into S-wave and P-wave charmonium states X_cc are considered in the framework of hard gluon exchange model. It is shown that decay width of B_c meson into S-wave charmonium states doubly exceeds one for S-wave states. In compare with the previous estimations we predict the enhancement by 8 % the branching ratio for the B_c decays into J/psi in the two-particle hadronic decays via the contribution of the radiative decays of P-wave states in the cascade processes.
Processes of heavy quark photoproduction at HERA energies are considered using the semihard (k_T factorization) QCD approach with emphasis of the BFKL dynamics of gluon distributions. We investigate the dependences of the total cross section of heavy quark photoproduction and also p_T, and rapidity distributions on different forms of the unintegrated gluon distribution. We present a comparision of the theoretical results with available H1 and ZEUS experimental data for charm and beauty photoproductions.
The contribution of Δisobar to the correction on proton polarizability in the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen and muonic hydrogen is calculated with the account of the experimental data on N-Δtransition form factors.
We consider spin effects in two-particle hadronic decays of B_c and B_c^* mesons into J/psi plus ρ(π) in the frame work of hard gluon exchange model. It is shown that polarization of the J/psi meson is very different in decays of B_c and B_c^* mesons as well as their decay widths into J/psi plus ρ(π).
