QCD tests in hard-scatteringep collisions

The QCD test “shopping list” in DIS and photoproduction (PHP) processes

• Scaling violation in the structure function – the ultimate QCD test at HERA.

More comes from Hadronic Final State (HFS) study.

• DIS with 2 jets – O(s) or higher s determination– Gluon density g(x, Q2) [especially in low Q2]– Studies of higher order QCD dynamics (jet shape,

3 jets etc.)– Forward jet as a signal of BFKL dynamics and/or virtual ph

oton () structure function

• Particle production, fragmentation (strange, charm)

• Heavy Quark (HQ) production

• Photoproudction jets and HQ production

– Low ET: Real photon pdf at low x

Soft Underlying Event (SUE)

– High ET: Photon pdf at high x, gluon density at high xp

• Inclusive-k algorithm in Breit frame –

longitudinal invariant cone-type, high ET, O(s) process

• Thus defined jets agree with NLO well for high ET

AND high Q2 region

S uncertainty from r

• Main uncertainty comes from renormalization scale ET , Q2

• Obtained s compatible

• The size of the uncertainty depends on the choice of the scale

smaller scale uncertainty for r = ET than Q2.

ET is the preferred theory here

Is this a good enough reason to choose ET ?

Let’s see the cross section behavior.

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 6

• Dijet cross section (ET1 > 8 GeV, ET2 > 5 GeV in Breit frame) is measured as a function of ET

2/Q2 .

• ET2/Q2 dependence well reproduced by r = Q2

r = ET also OK for high ET2/Q2

• ET2 underestimates the cross section for large ET

2/Q2.

• The scale uncertainty is larger for Q2 than ET2 (not shown)

SF as an explanation ofthe forward excess

• Forward region: sensitive to BFKL signal

• Plugging the SF in:increases the forward(= low xBj) cross sectionand explains the data

• Cross section as a function of ET

2/Q2:Both LO MC (RAPGAP)and NLO (JetViP)explain the shape

A solution for the forward excess.Is this entire story ?

Jets in Photoproduction

• Study on jets in photoproduction during first years

– Very large excess in low-ET cross section

– The excess mostly in the resolved process

– Large “pedestal” around jet in ET flow

Mainly attributed to Soft-Underlying-Events (SUE).

• Amount of the “jet pedestal” is measured

• The effect is expected to be smaller at higher ET …

talk WG2

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 15

• Now with higher integrated luminosity

cross section measurement with higher ET is possible.

Very high ET PHP – test of QCD

NLO gives a good description of PHP dijets at high ET

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 16

Very high ET PHP – photon SF

• Closer look to the cross section:A large cross section excess in central-forward rapidity (in Lab frame) over NLO.

• xOBS spectrum at high ET (> 2

5 GeV)The excess persists !

• Natural explanation: photon pdf in high x regionPHP at HERA is sensitive

to photon pdf in high x

Can’t we measure low x = gluon ?

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 17

Low ET PHP: revisited. How we should proceed ?

• SUE bothers in measuring the “parton level” cross section

• One way:“subtract” the jet pedestal from SUE (estimated by MC)extract the LO parton density

• Another way: “less sensitive to SUE” method– single particle p

roduction – prompt photon

production

talk WG2

• Measuring the low-x pdf with large error

• Method indirect by subtracting the SUE effect.Any way out or we should forget ?

• For theorist: need also “uncorrected” xsectionas a starting point.

Open charm production

• Now forward excess not related to SUE:

Charm shows also “Forward excess”.

• Both in DIS and PHP.

• For PHP: small x events resolved (virtual) photon

again ?“Massless” calculation inclu

de resolved effect (large ET/mc)

• Comparison of xOBS with

massless NLO is awaited.• For DIS, associated jet x

BS should be checked.

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 19

• Large excess is observed over LO/NLO

• Is this again due to “massless” effect ?(LO simulation: factor 2 increase)

• The reason is unknown, we need statistics to see the distribution differentially.

Summary on HFS in DIS/PHP

• Many issues are special for (*)p collisions

• Tremendous amount of understanding in “how to measure”

– Improved jet algorithm (inclusive-k in p or Breit)

– Infrared safe definition of the dijet cross section– Stable NLO calculations, improved MCs

• For most phase space the data agree with NLO

– High Q2 (> 100 GeV2), high ET (also in PHP), backward

– For these “good regions” : we can measure S, g(x), photon pdf in high x …

• Still data excess in many place: low Q2 and ET, forward jets.The NLO scale uncertainty also large (also choice of scale)– Important terms are missing in NLO

• Virtual photon SF, BFKL, NNLO ?– Similar effect in charm ? Massless solves this ? Necessary step to measure e.g. g(x, Q2) in low Q2

• Q2 = 0 suffers from SUE: any way out ?

We are near the completion, just need theoretical input !

Introduction to QCD tests in diffractive processes

• Diffraction without a hard scale can be explained by an universal Pomeron Diffractive physics is traditionally classified as a so

ft phenomena. • The diffraction with a hard scale at Tevatron, LEP and

HERA has opened an wide range of QCD tests.

1. Soft hard: how is the transition of the underlying mechanism ?

2. How the hard scales play a role ?2 = f (Q2, t [, MV

2]) – are they similarly effective ?

• A lot smaller shrinkage than the soft Pomeron if hard scale

In high-Q2, photon is small the blowup of the hadron size at high W cannot be detected by a small object– another evidence of being a hard process.

t-dependence and SU(4)

• Large t events (t > 1 GeV2) from proton dissociation.

• Light VM:no satisfactory explanation by soft+hard

• Charmonium is again described by pQCD – mc seems enough to give a hard scale

• The ratio of light VM follows SU(4) for t > 1 GeV2 t affects differently from Q2

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 30

Heavy VM: cross section

• Surprisingly higher cross sections than LO theories

• Two theoretical models: Martin et al., Frankfurt et al.

– Both incorporate the skewed parton density(SPD) effect

– Many other effects can also raise the cross section [relativistic correction, real part of the amplitude, NLO corrections, Fermi momentum effect etc.]

• Seems we need SPD. Can’t we measure it directly ?

Summary on Vector Mesons• Testing ground of pQCD by VM with a hard scale

• Current hypotheses are:

– Hard mechanism given by Q2, MV or t.

– A dipole scatters with p, then forms VM long time after– SPD seems necessary for heavy particles

• Are all these scenario true ? The status of measurement is– Data not precise enough to test models

[W dependence, b-slope, L/T]

– The role of Q2, MV or t as a hard scale seems different. Q2 may be MV , but MV in PHP in W dependence ? t seems different

• Way out – isolating non-perturbative wave function (WF) – DVCS: no uncertainty on WF effect, full pQCD

First glance: The data agrees with the predictionIdeas on DVCS mechanism seems

ok.– Measuring excited states (', ', ')

• In general theories are advanced– We foresee greater precision in coming year thanks to H

ERA’s larger int. lumi– we should provide sensible measurements !

Detecting partonic mechanism in diffraction by HFS

• The transition from soft to hard Pomeron is seen in:– VM production [W, b-slope, t-distribution etc.] – Inclusive diffraction [W dependence steeper: howev

er the signal is not very clear]• Factorized Pomeron or pure pQCD ?

– Both models describe the F2D data well

Energy flow in P frame (LPS tagging)• Two jet structure in high MX, but not too aligned

– Indication of BGF diagram, gluonic Pomeron

Thrust and sphericity

Diffraction final state is close to e+e–, but slightly broader

Transverse momentum in the “target region”

• Non-diffraction – soft spectrum in p

• Hard radiation from Pomeron

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 35

• Charm production: diagrams limited, hard scale provided. Ideal measurement, but small statistics.

• Dijet production – partonic structure, gluon in P.Just Pomeron+resolved photon seems perfect ?

• Three jet structure: proving information ofpartonic dynamics.

An open question

• Large rapidity gap rate is a lot smaller in Tevatron

– 10-20 % at HERA, 1-3 % at Tevatron

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 37

Remarks on the luminosity and detector issues on QCD tests

• After upgrade: we lose the forward detectors.

– Tagging diffraction by LRG will be limitedFatal for the most of diffraction study

– Very forward hadron measurement will be difficult for studying both diffraction and HFS

• However: ~ 100pb–1 data by Sep 2000 !Statistical error can be improved by factor 2

– Most of the studies so far are with 5-30 pb–1

e.g. at Q2 ~ 4 GeV2 are still statistically limited

• For diffractions after upgrade: H1 FPS in the cold sectionHigh acceptance at xL ~ 0.97 (talk in WG4)

Analysing current data can answer many questions

Data until September 2000: last chance for many analyses

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 38

Conclusions

• The QCD study in ep collision in last years has been investigated as a collision of (*) and p

• Here the study is more complicated than we thought

– The incoming “hadron” = photon varies its size (Q2)

However this gives us a rich testing ground of pQCD.

Non-diffraction

• Tremendous amount of progress in understanding NLO calculations, jet algorithms etcFake problems are gone

• The excess of the cross section is being identified

(low Q2, low ET, forward jets etc.)

• Qusestion: how these excess can be explained ?

– Need a bit more investigation, especially in theoryInteresting by itself, but also for extracting importa

nt quantities at low Q2 and ET ( g(x, Q2), s ?)

26/04/2000

QCD Tests in Lepton-Proton Collisions, DIS2000 39

Conclusions(2)

Diffraction and Vector Mesons

• The observations in last years have set the direction of to go: we know what to measure for the moment.

• Q: Is the proposed pQCD mechanism of VM production

valid ? How the hard scales (Q2, t, mV) play role ?

– Need more precision measurements

• Q: Partonic mechanism of the inclusive diffraction ?

– New analyses on HFS and HQ production may give some hints, may not. Let’s see

• Large luminosity now precise data (hopefully)

Promising future, challenge for experimentalist
