A major direction of the physics program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is to explore the origin of proton spin structure. Parity violating single spin asymmetries, $A_L$, for $W$-bosons in longitudinally polarized $p + p$ collisions at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 500 GeV will give access to the flavor separated quark and anti-quar ...

We compare two Monte Carlo implementations of resummation schemes for the description of parton evolution at small values of Bjorken x. One of them if based on the BFKL evolution equation. The other one is based on the CCFM partonic kernel where QCD coherence effects are introduced. It has been argued that both approaches agree with each other in the x to 0 limit. We show that this is not the case ... More

We consider Pomeron as an object with parton distribution function, evolving according to the next-to-leading order (NLO) DGLAP equations within the framework of the ‘Fixed Flavour Number Scheme’ (FFNS).

We obtain a very good description of the current HERA data on diffractive rho electroproduction using a holographic light-cone wavefunction for the rho meson. This holographic wavefunction is obtained using the Brodsky and de Teramond correspondance between hadronic modes in AdS space and light-cone wavefunctions in physical spacetime. We also show the corresponding holographic Distribution Amp ... More

We present a new approach in considering and including the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the gluon-quark multiplicity ratio. The new method is motivated by new developments in timelike small x resummation and exploit the recently computed NNLO timelike splitting fnctions. Comparison of our new results with other methods and with data will also be presented.

We present a measurement of the top-quark mass in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The top mass is determined by making use of a two-dimensional template method in the single lepton channel.

We investigate contributions of twist $\tau = 3$ and higher to the polarized structure functions $g_1(x,Q2)$ and $g_2(x,Q2)$.

Top momentum reconstruction often plays an important role for new physics signal reconstruction at the LHC. In principle for a hadronically decaying top, it is possible to reconstruct its momentum fully but one suffers from large QCD and combinatorial backgrounds. Starting from geometrically large sizes of jets and looking into their substructure, we can efficiently reduce these background. We de ... More

The cross section, differential in several kinematics variables, has been measured up to high jet multiplicities and compared to new higher-order QCD calculations. The ratio of (Z + a single jet)/(W + a single jet) can provide a very precise test of QCD a ...

The final expression for the vertex turns out to be simple and easy to implement in numerical calculations. Presented by Prof. Alessandro PAPA on 29 Mar 2012 at 09:00 Session: Structure functions Track: Structure functions From the new measurement of F_L at HERA we derive fixed-Q^2 averages <F_L/F_2>. We compare these with bounds which are rigorous in the framework of the standard dipole picture. The bounds are sharpened by including information on the charm structure function F_2^(c). Within the experimental errors the bounds are respected by the data. But for 3.5 GeV^2 <= Q^2 <= 20 GeV^2 the central values of the ...

A crucial ingredient to a successful description of minimum bias and underlying event observables is a model for colour reconnection. Improvements to this model inspired by statistical physics are presented. Presented by Christian ROEHR on 29 Mar 2012 at 12:20 Session: Diffraction and vector mesons Track: Diffraction and vector mesons An iterative solution best suited for a Monte Carlo implementation for the non-forward BFKL equation is presented and possible applications discussed. We introduce running coupling effects in a way compatible with the bootstrap, fundamental condition for gluon reggeization and see how this naturally leads to renormalon effects in the infrared. Presented by Clara SALAS on 29 Mar 2012 at 09:20 Session: Combined: Heavy flavours/structure functions Track: Heavy flavours/structure functions I report on the calculation of the one-loop correction to the soft-gluon current with massive fermions. This current is process independent and controls the singular behavior of one-loop massive QCD amplitudes in the limit when one external gluon becomes soft. It therefore constitutes a necessary ingredient for the numerical evaluation of observables with massive fermions at hadron colliders to ne ...

The calculations are based on the resummation of threshold logarithms at NNLL accuracy beyond NLO. Presented by Li Lin YANG on 29 Mar 2012 at 09:00 Session: Heavy flavours Track: Heavy flavours The study of the dynamics of top-quark pair production in proton-proton and proton-antiproton collisions plays an important role in the understanding of parton interactions at large Bjorken-x. It tests the assumptions of the standard model and of quantum chromodynamics at the electroweak scale and beyond. The CDF data set is an ideal sample for measuring observables sensitive to the dynamics ...

Effects of target mass corrections (TMC), higher twist contributions, and nuclear corrections for deuterium data are significant in the large-x region. The leading twist parton distributions are found to be ...

The NLL analysis requires the inclusion of running coupling effects which lead to off-diagonal terms in the BFKL kernel that need to be treated carefully. We also introduce an all-orders resummation that improves the collinear ...
