Title: Reply to comment on ''New limits on intrinsic charm in the nucleon from global analysis of parton distribution''

Abstract

We reply to the Comment of Brodsky and Gardner on our paper "New limits on intrinsic charm in the nucleon from global analysis of parton distributions" [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 082002 (2015)]. We address a number of incorrect claims made about our fitting methodology, and elaborate how global QCD analysis of all available high-energy data provides no evidence for a large intrinsic charm component of the nucleon.

New limits on intrinsic charm in the nucleon from global analysis of parton distributions

Journal Article Jimenez-Delgado, P. ; Hobbs, T. J. ; Londergan, J. T. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present a new global QCD analysis of parton distribution functions, allowing for possible intrinsic charm (IC) contributions in the nucleon inspired by light-front models. The analysis makes use of the full range of available high-energy scattering data for Q² ≥ 1 GeV₂ and W² ≥ 3.5 GeV², including fixed-target proton and deuteron deep cross sections at lower energies that were excluded in previously global analyses. The expanded data set places more stringent constraints on the momentum carried by IC, with (x)_IC at most 0.5% (corresponding to an IC normalization of ~1%) at the 4σ level for Δ_X² = 1.more »« less

Comment on “New Limits on Intrinsic Charm in the Nucleon from Global Analysis of Parton Distributions”

Journal Article Brodsky, Stanley J. ; Gardner, Susan - Physical Review Letters

Intrinsic heavy quarks in hadrons emerge from the non-perturbative structure of a hadron bound state and are a rigorous prediction of QCD. Lattice QCD calculations indicate significant intrinsic charm and strangeness probabilities. Since the light-front momentum distribution of the Fock states is maximal at equal rapidity, intrinsic heavy quarks carry significant fractions of the hadron momentum. The presence of Fock states with intrinsic strange, charm, or bottom quarks in hadrons lead to an array of novel physics phenomena. Accurate determinations of the heavy-quark distributions in the proton are needed to interpret Tevatron and LHC measurements as probed of physics beyondmore » the Standard Model.« less

CT14 intrinsic charm parton distribution functions from CTEQ-TEA global analysis

Journal Article Hou, Tie-Jiun ; Dulat, Sayipjamal ; Gao, Jun ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We investigate the possibility of a (sizable) nonperturbative contribution to the charm parton distribution function (PDF) in a nucleon, theoretical issues arising in its interpretation, and its potential impact on LHC scattering processes. The “fitted charm” PDF obtained in various QCD analyses contains a process-dependent component that is partly traced to power-suppressed radiative contributions in DIS and is generally different at the LHC. We discuss separation of the universal component of the nonperturbative charm from the rest of the radiative contributions and estimate its magnitude in the CT14 global QCD analysis at the next-to-next-to leading order in the QCD couplingmore »« less

Reply to ''Comment on 'Modal expansion approach to optical-frequency-comb generation with monolithic whispering-gallery-mode resonators'''

Journal Article Chembo, Yanne K ; Nan, Yu - Physical Review. A

In a Comment [Deych, Phys. Rev. A 84, 017801 (2011)] on our recent article [Chembo and Yu, Phys. Rev. A 82, 033801 (2010)] on Kerr comb generation in monolithic whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators, the author claims that even though our main results ''remain intact'', the framework of our analysis contains some mathematical errors. In this Reply, we demonstrate that the author's criticisms and his alternative theory are incorrect, and that all the disagreeing claims come from the author's misunderstanding of the physical system under investigation. In particular, the main conceptual error in the Comment is the confusion between evanescent and radiativemore »« less

New Limits on Intrinsic Charm from a QCD Global Analysis

Conference Hobbs, Timothy ; Jimenez-Delgado, Pedro ; Londergan, Timothy ; ...

We present a new global QCD analysis of parton distribution functions, allowing for possible intrinsic charm (IC) contributions in the nucleon inspired by recent model calculations on the light-front. The analysis makes use of the full range of available high-energy scattering data for Q2?1~GeV2 and W2?3.5~GeV2, including fixed-target proton and deuteron cross sections at lower energies that were excluded in previous global analyses. The expanded data set places more stringent constraints on the momentum carried by IC, with ?x?IC at most 0.5\% (corresponding to an IC normalization of ?1%) at the 4? level for ??2=1. We also critically assess themore »« less
