QCD非微扰和能量丢失效应对夸克分布影响

在非常数性K因子的情况下,根据核Drell-Yan过程的高能强子h同原子核A碰撞和高能轻子l同原子核A深度非弹性碰撞的实验数据,在考虑QCD非微扰效应对深度非弹性散射部分子分布的影响及Drell-Yan过程中的能量丢失效应,计算确定价夸克分布和海夸克分布核效应函数RAυ(x₂),RAS(x₂)的变化,深化了对原子核内夸克分布受核效应影响的认识     

含QCD修正的p-A碰撞Drell-Yan过程的核效应

在微扰QCD α_s级近似下,采用双重Q²重标度模型,计算了p-A碰撞Drell-Yan截面与p-N碰撞Drell-Yan截面之比,即核效应函数R_QCD(x_A,Q²).计算结果与没有QCD修正的R(x_A,Q²)值比较,在0.03≤x_A≤0.3之间都有不同程度的压低,与实验符合的情况有所改善.说明对核Drell-Yan过程核效应的研究,QCD修正是有一定意义的,并且在计入这种修正后,双重Q²重标度模型仍然是有效的.     

能量损失效应引起的核Drell-Yan微分截面比的压低

核环境中夸克的能量损失可以通过高能核Drell-Yan过程的核依赖进行测量. 利用文献中给出的夸克能量损失公式和从轻子－原子核深度非弹性散射实验数 据得到的束缚核子中的部分子分布函数, 计算了FNAL E772 800GeV的质子打击不同原子核的Drell-Yan过程截面比, 发现考虑能量损失的计算结果与FNAL E772实验数据符合甚好. 建议在利用核Drell-Yan过程实验数据抽取束缚核子内部分子分布函数时应该考虑能量损失效应.     

B→KK衰变中的软胶子修正

应用光维QCD求和规则研究了B→KK衰变的软胶子交换修正,虽然QCD因子化方法已经计算了领头阶的因子化和硬胶子交换的α_s阶辐射修正部分,然而系统地估算所有树图和企鹅图的非因子化软胶子贡献是有价值的,我们的结果表明在B→KK衰变中软胶子效应总是使分支比值减小,约为几个百分点.     

价夸克分布与海夸克分布的核效应

提出了一个由轻子-核深度非弹性散射和核Drell-Yan过程的实验数据得到价夸克分布和海夸克分布的核效应函数RvA(x_t)和RsA(x_t)的方法. 由这两个函数可以检验解释核效应的理论模型. 以铁核为例求出了RvFe(x_t)和Rs(Fe)(x_t).     

依赖系统大小的能量损失对强子谱压低的影响

基于微扰量子色动力学(pQCD)的部分子模型, 在领头阶(LO)近似下分别计算了质子－质子(p+p)碰撞, Au+Au和Cu+Cu不同对心度碰撞产生π⁰的强子谱和相应的核修正因子R_AA. 在考虑部分子喷注能量损失(即喷注淬火)效应后的理论计算表明, 与相同质心系能量s=200GeV的p+p碰撞相比, Au+Au或Cu+Cu不同对心度碰撞产生的强子谱被压低, 被压低的程度与依赖系统大小的能量损失有强烈的关系. 系统越大, 部分子喷注的能量损失越大, 导致强子谱被压低得越多, R_AA越小. 理论计算的数值结果和实验数据相符合, 说明能量损失机制的可靠性和真实性.     

关于衰变过程研究

系统地计算B-0→K-0π0衰变过程的强子矩阵元,它包括领头阶因子化部分,α.修正的硬胶子交换部分和软胶子交换部分.其中软胶子交换部分,无论在量子色动力学(QCD)因子化方法中,还是在微扰QCD中都不能进行计算.用光锥QCD求和规则系统地计算了这部分贡献,并发现在该衰变道中软胶子交换部分与领头阶因子化部分以及αs修正的硬胶子交换部分有相同的数量级,因此不能忽略.最后计算了该衰变过程的分支比,计算结果与实验结果相一致.

高能p-A碰撞Drell-Yan过程中的初态核效应

核遮蔽和能量损失效应是p-A碰撞中两种重要的初态核效应. 本文利用从轻子-原子核深度非弹性散射实验数据中抽取的束缚核子的部分子分布函数, 在色弦模型中研究了Drell-Yan双轻子对产生过程中的能量损失效应. 通过对FNAL E772和E866实验数据的χ²分析, 得到夸克在冷核中的能量损失率为－dE/dz=2.06GeV/fm. 这和该模型理论预言的结果(－dE/dz～2GeV/fm)一致. 通过将理论计算结果与实验数据进行比较, 发现考虑到能量损失后能很好的解释实验现象.     

非因子化方法研究D+→K0K+衰变

在领头阶和αs 修正阶,用QCD因子化方法,并对它的软胶子效应用光锥QCD求和规则分析D⁺→K⁰K⁺衰变过程,我们分析发现朴素因子化方法的结果远离实验结果,QCD因子化方法结果靠近实验结果,但是,在QCD因子化方法中,若考虑软胶子效应,其结果与实验结果相一致.另外,计算发现,软胶子效应在该衰变道中有相当大的贡献,因此不能被忽略     

Quark Energy Loss and Shadowing in Nuclear Drell-Yan Process

The energy loss effect in nuclear matter is another nuclear effect apart from the nuclear effects on the parton distribution as in deep inelastic scattering process. The quark energy loss can be measured best by the nuclear dependence of the high energy nuclear Dre11-Yan process. By means of three kinds of quark energy loss parameterizations given in literature and the nuclear parton distribution extracted only with lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering experimental data, measured Dre11-Yan production cross sections are analyzed for 800 GeV proton incident on a variety of nuclear targets from FNAL E866. It is shown that our results with considering the energy loss effect are much different from those of the FNAL E866, who analyzes the experimental data with the nuclear parton distribution functions obtained by using the deep inelastic IA collisions and pA nuclear Drell-Yan data. Considering the existence of energy loss effect in Drell-Yan lepton pairs production, we suggest that the extraction of nuclear parton distribution functions shoul““““d not include Dre11-Yan experimental data.     

Energy loss effect in high energy nuclear Drell-Yan process

The energy loss effect in nuclear matter, which is a nuclear effect apart from the nuclear effect on the parton distribution as in deep-inelastic scattering process, can be measured best by the nuclear dependence of the high energy nuclear Drell-Yan process. By means of the nuclear parton distribution studied only with lepton deep-inelastic scattering experimental data, the measured Drell-Yan production cross sections for 800 GeV proton incident on a variety of nuclear targets are analyzed within the Glauber framework which takes into account the energy loss of the beam proton. It is shown that the theoretical results with considering the energy loss effect are in good agreement with the FNAL E866 data.Arrival of the final proofs: 24 June 2003

Influence of quark energy loss on extracting nuclear sea quark distribution from nuclear Drell-Yan experimental data

By means of two typical kinds of quark energy loss parametrization and the nuclear parton distribu-tions determined only with lepton-nuclear deep inelastic scattering experimental data, a leading order analysis is performed on the proton-induced Drell-Yau differential cross section ratios of tungsten versus deuterium as a function of the quark momentum fraction in the beam proton and target nuclei. It is found that the theoretical results with quark energy loss are in good agreement with the experimental data. The quark energy loss effect produces approximately 3% to 11% suppression on the Drell-Yan differential cross section ratios RW/D in the range 0.05 ≤ x2≤ 0.3. The application of nuclear Drell-Yan data with heavy targets is remarkably subject to difficulty in the constraint of the nuclear sea quark distribution.

A possible determination of the quark radiation length in cold nuclear matter

We calculate the differential Drell-Yan production cross section in proton-nucleus collisions by including both next-to-leading order perturbative effects and effects of the nuclear medium. We demonstrate that dilepton production in fixed target experiments is an excellent tool to study initial-state parton energy loss in large nuclei and to accurately determine the stopping power of cold nuclear matter. We provide theoretical predictions for the attenuation of the Drell-Yan cross section at large values of Feynman xF and show that for low proton beam energies experimental measurements at Fermilab?s E906 can clearly distinguish between nuclear shadowing and energy loss effects. If confirmed by data, our results may help determine the quark radiation length in cold nuclear matter X₀∼¹⁰−13 m.     

Influence of quark energy loss on extracting nuclear sea quark distribution from nuclear Drell-Yan experimental data

It is found that the theoretical results with quark energy loss are in good agreement with the experimental data. The quark energy loss effect produces approximately 3% to 11% suppression on the Drell-Yan differential cross section ratios R_W/D in the range 0.05≤x₂≤0.3. The application of nuclear Drell-Yan data with heavy targets is remarkably subject to difficulty in the constraint of the nuclear sea quark distribution.     

The mellin transform technique for the extraction of the gluon density

A new method is presented to determine the gluon density in the proton from jet production in deeply inelastic scattering. By using the technique of Mellin transforms not only for the solution of the scale evolution equation of the parton densities but also for the evaluation of scattering cross sections, the gluon density can be extracted in next-to-leading order QCD. The method described in this paper is, however, more general, and can be used in situations where a repeated fast numerical evaluation of scattering cross sections for varying parton distribution functions is required.     

p-A Drell-Yan Process in the Target Rest Frame

At high energies, Drell-Yan process can be viewed in the target rest frame as bremsstrahlung of massive photons, rather than parton annihilation. In this paper, the ratio of the p-A Drell-Yan cross section per nucleon for an 800 GeV proton beam incident on Fe, W, and Be targets are calculated by means of the color dipole approach in the target rest system. It is shown that our calculations can quite well fit the Fermilab E866 experimental data with considering the nuclear shadowing effect in p-A Drell-Yan process and without the energy loss effect in it.
