Title: Charm-Quark Production in Deep-Inelastic Neutrino Scattering at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order in QCD

Abstract

We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of charm-quark production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, with full charm-quark mass dependence. The next-to-next-toleading order corrections in perturbative quantum chromodynamics are found to be comparable in size to the next-to-leading order corrections in certain kinematic regions.We compare our predictions with data on dimuon production in (anti)neutrino scattering from a heavy nucleus. Our results can be used to improve the extraction of the parton distribution function of a strange quark in the nucleon.

A next-to-leading-order QCD analysis of neutrino charm production

Journal Article Bazarko, A O ; Arroyo, C G ; Bachmann, K T - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

The authors present a next-to-leading-order QCD analysis of neutrino charm quark production based on a high-statistics study of opposite-sign dimuon events induced by neutrino-nucleon scattering at the Fermilab Tevatron. A sample of 5044 {nu}{sub {mu}} and 1062 {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}}-induced {mu}{sup -+}{mu}{sup +-} events with 30 {le} E{sub {nu}} {le} 600 GeV is observed. These data yield a measurement of the nucleon strange quark distribution function, and a measurement of the charm quark mass parameter.
QCD formulation of charm production in deep-inelastic scattering and the sea-quark--gluon dichotomy

Journal Article Aivazis, M A.G. ; Olness, F I ; Tung, W - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

Gluon-initiated contributions to deep-inelastic-scattering processes, such as charm production, can be {ital comparable} in magnitude to the leading-order'' sea-quark processes. A proper next-to-leading-order calculation in QCD confirms this and yields distinct dependences of these two contributions on the kinematic variables and on the charm-quark mass. These results imply that previous analyses of charm-production data to extract the strange and charm content of the nucleon, as well as the precise determination of standard-model parameters based on these analyses, need to be reassessed.

Measurement of the Nucleon Strange-Antistrange Asymmetry at Next-to-Leading Order in QCD from NuTeV Dimuon Data

Journal Article Mason, D ; Brau, J ; Drucker, R B ; ... - Phys.Rev.Lett.99:192001,2007

The authors present a new measurement of the difference between the nucleon strange and antistrange quark distributions from dimuon events recorded by the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. This analysis is the first to use a complete next to leading order QCD description of charm production from neutrino scattering. Dimuon events in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allow direct and independent study of the strange and antistrange content of the nucleon. They find a positive strange asymmetry. They also report a new measurement of the charm mass.

3-, 4-, and 5-flavor next-to-next-to-leading order parton distribution functions from deep-inelastic-scattering data and at hadron colliders

Journal Article Alekhin, S ; Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron DESY Platanenallee 6, D-15738 Zeuthen ; Bluemlein, J ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We determine the parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the inclusive neutral-current deep-inelastic-scattering (DIS) world data combined with the neutrino-nucleon DIS di-muon data and the fixed-target Drell-Yan data. The PDF evolution is performed in the N{sub f}=3 fixed-flavor scheme and supplementary sets of PDFs in the 4- and 5-flavor schemes are derived from the results in the 3-flavor scheme using matching conditions. The charm-quark DIS contribution is calculated in a general-mass variable-flavor-number (GMVFN) scheme interpolating between the zero-mass 4-flavor scheme at asymptotically large values of momentum transfer Q{sup 2} and the 3-flavor scheme prescription ofmore »« less

Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry in $e^{+} e^{-}$ Annihilation at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order in QCD

Journal Article Gao, Jun ; Zhu, Hua Xing - Physical Review Letters

We report on a complete calculation of electroweak production of top-quark pairs in e+e- annihilation at next-to-next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics. Our setup is fully differential in phase space and can be used to calculate any infrared-safe observable. Especially we calculated the next-to-next-to-leading-order corrections to the top-quark forward-backward asymmetry and found sizable effects. Our results show a large reduction of the theoretical uncertainties in predictions of the forward-backward asymmetry, and allow for a precision determination of the top-quark electroweak couplings at future e+e- colliders.
