14 Combined inclusive diffractive cross sections measured with forward proton spectrometers at HERA

A combination of the inclusive diffractive cross section measurements made by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA is presented. The analysis uses diffractive deep inelastic scattering data measured by means of proton spectrometers. Correlations of systematic uncertainties are taken into account by the combination method,resulting in improved precision. The combined data cover the range 2.5 < Q2 < 200 GeV2 in photon virtualities, 0.00035 < xIP < 0.09 in fractional momentum losses, 0.09 < |t| < 0.55 GeV2 in four momentum transfer at the proton vertex and 0.0018 < beta < 0.56 in beta = x/xIP, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable.

15 Measurement of the Diffractive Longitudinal Structure Function F_L^D at HERA

First measurements are presented of the diffractive cross section $\sigma_{ep \rightarrow eXY}$ at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ of 225 and 252 GeV, together with a precise new measurement at $\sqrt{s}$ of 319 GeV, using data taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007. Together with previous H1 data at $\sqrt{s}$ of 301 GeV, the measurements are used to extract the diffractive longitudinal structure function F_L^D in the range of photon virtualities 4.0 <= Q^2 <= 44.0 GeV^2 and fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss 5 10^{-4} <= x_{IP} <= 3 10^{-3}. The measured F_L^D is compared with leading twist predictions based on diffractive parton densities extracted in NLO QCD fits to previous measurements of diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering and with a model which additionally includes a higher twist contribution derived from a colour dipole approach. The ratio of the diffractive cross section induced by longitudinally polarised photons to that for transversely polarised photons is extracted and compared with the analogous quantity for inclusive Deep-Inelastic Scattering.

Slides FLDDIS2012.pdf

16 Inclusive Measurement of Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA

Measurements of the cross section for the diffractive process ep -> eXY are presented, where Y is a proton or a low mass proton excitation carrying a fraction 1 − xIP > 0.95 of the incident proton longitudinal momentum and the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex satisfying MY < 1.6 GeV and |t| < 1.0 GeV^2. Using data taken by the H1 experiment, the cross section is measured for photon virtualities in the range 3 <= Q2 < =1600 GeV^2, triple differentially in xIP , Q^2 and beta = x/xIP , where x is the Bjorken scaling variable. Thesemeasurements are made after selecting diffractive events by demanding that a large rapidity interval separates the final state hadronic systems X and Y . New measurements covering data taking periods 1999-2000 and 2004-2007 are combined with previously published results in order to provide a single set of diffractive cross sections using the large rapidity gap selection method from the H1 experiment. Comparisons of measurements with predictions from the diffractive parton density and dipole models are shown. Finally, the proton vertex factorisation hypothesis, which is an important aspect in the modelling of diffractive structure, is discussed.

17 Measurement of Dijet Production in Diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering with a Leading Proton at HERA

The cross section of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering ep \rightarrow eXp is measured, where the system X contains at least two jets and the leading final state proton is detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer. The measurement is performed for fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss xIP < 0.1 and covers the range 0.1 < |t| < 0.7 GeV2 in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex and 4 < Q2 < 110 GeV2 in photon virtuality. The differential cross sections extrapolated to |t| < 1 GeV2 are in agreement with next-toleading order QCD predictions based on diffractive parton distribution functions extracted from measurements of inclusive and dijet cross sections in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering. The data are also compared with leading order Monte Carlo models.

19 Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at ATLAS

The search combines several Higgs boson decay channels in the mass range from 110 GeV to 600 GeV and derives upper limits on the production cross section as a function of the Higgs boson mass. A wide range of Higgs boson mass hypotheses is excluded at a 95% confidence level. Some excess of events is also reported.

24 The LHCb upgrade

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charmed hadrons produced at the LHC. The operation and the results obtained from the data collected in 2010 and 2011 demonstrate that the detector is robust and functioning very well. However, the limit of 1 fb$^{-1}$ of data per year cannot be overcome without improving the detector. We therefore plan for an upgraded spectrometer by 2018 with a 40 MHz readout and a much more flexible software-based triggering system that will increase the data rate as well as the efficiency specially in the hadronic channels. Here we present the LHCb detector upgrade plans, based on the recently submitted Letter of Intent, with a particular focus on prospects for QCD-related physics analyses.

25 Isolated photons+jet in DIS

Isolated-photon+jet production in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of up to 300 pb-1. Measurements of prompt-photon+jet cross sections are presented as functions of the photon transverse energy and pseudorapidity in a wide range of exchanged-photon virtuality. In addition, differential gamma+jet cross sections are presented as functions of the jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity. Leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo predictions and perturbative QCD calculations were compared to the data.

28 Photon and photon+jet production measured with the ATLAS detector

Isolated prompt photons provide a direct probe of short-distance physics, complementary to that provided by measurements of jets or vector-bosons. The inclusive prompt photon cross section has been measured over a wide range of transverse momenta; the diphoton cross section has also been measured as a function of diphoton mass, total transverse momentum and azimuthal separation; the cross section for photons produced in association with jets is also measured. The results use data to suppress backgrounds, and also to remove the effects of underlying event and multiple proton-proton interactions in a theoretically well-controlled manner. The results are compared to the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD.

32 Open heavy flavor production in pp collisions with ALICE at LHC

ALICE is the LHC experiment dedicated to the study of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) in Pb-Pb collisions. Heavy quarks are ideal probes to explore the QGP formation and properties, since they experience the full collision history and are expected to be abundantly produced at the LHC. It is of great importance to measure the heavy flavor cross section not only in Pb-Pb collisions, but also in pp collisions. In fact, the measurement in the latter is used both as a reference for the Pb-Pb results and as test of the pQCD predictions in a new energy domain. ALICE measures heavy quark production both at central and forward rapidity, reconstructing heavy flavour particles, both exclusively, using a selection of hadronic decay channels, and inclusively, using single leptons. Since the start up of the LHC, ALICE has been collecting Pb-Pb data at √sNN = 2.76 TeV and pp data at √s = 2.76 and 7 TeV. We present results on the measurement of heavy quark production through the hadronic decay channels of D mesons and via single leptons, with emphasis on the results obtained with pp data.

33 Production of c-cbar pairs at LHC: k_t-factorization and double-parton scattering

We discuss charm production at LHC. The production of single $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated in the $k_t$-factorization approach. We use several unintegrated gluon distributions from the literature. Some of them include effect of small-$x$ saturation and fulfill Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation. The hadronization is included with the help of fragmentation functions found for the production of $c$ ($\bar c$) in $e^+ e^-$ collisions. Differential distributions for several charmed mesons will be presented and compared to recent results of the ALICE and LHCb collaborations. Some missing strength is identified. Different schemes of fragmentation are discussed. Furthermore we discuss production of two pairs of $c \bar c$ within a simple formalism of double-parton scattering (DPS). Surprisingly large cross sections, comparable to single-parton scattering (SPS) contribution, are predicted for LHC energies. Both total inclusive cross section as a function of energy and differential distributions are shown. We include recently discussed evolution of double partons in the case of two scales. We discuss perspectives how to identify the double scattering contribution. We find much larger cross section for large rapidity distance between charm quarks from different hard parton scatterings compared to single scattering. First predictions for two $c \bar c$ pair production in single-parton scattering will be presented. Predictions for the production of different pairs of charm mesons ($D0 $D0$, D0 {\bar D}0$, etc.) are presented for the kinematics of LHCb experiment. I will show also predictions for so-called nonphotonic electrons and muons coming from the semileptonic decays of charmed mesons. The double-parton scattering gives large contribution with large (pseudo)rapidity gap between electrons ($e^+ e^+, $e^- e^-, $e^+ e^-$) or muons. This can be measured experimentally.

35 Recent Results of Double Helicity Asymmetries at PHENIX

The determination of the gluon polarization within the proton, $\Delta G$, is one of the critical pieces to understanding the proton spin puzzle. Using collisions of polarized protons with $\sqrt{s}=200 \:GeV$ and $\sqrt{s}=500 \:GeV$ at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), PHENIX can access gluons and $\Delta G$ at leading order. Constraints on $\Delta G$ come from measurements of double longitudinal asymmetries, $A_{LL}$, of various particle production cross sections. We will present the recent $A_{LL}$ results at central $(|{\eta}|<0.35)$ and forward $(3.1 < |{\eta}| < 3.9)$ rapidities along with comparisons to various models of the gluon polarization. A summary of the current issues limiting the precision of these measurements will follow. Finally, we will discuss the possibilities in the near to mid-term future of the PHENIX $\Delta G$ program, specifically, constraining $\Delta G$ at low-x.

36 New COMPASS Results on Polarized Parton Distributions Inside the Nucleon

A short review of the COMPASS results concerning gluon polarization inside the nucleon, DG/G, is given including two new measurements: Firstly, a DG/G determination in leading order and in three bin of the gluon momentum fraction x_g from asymmetries in high-p$_T$ hadron pair production for Q$^2>$1 (GeV/c)$^2$; secondly, a preliminary next-to-leading order analysis based on open charm production, i.e. D mesons decaying via various channels. The latter result is obtained from our combined proton and deuteron data. In addition the cross-section for the $D^*$ production is given and kinematic distribution of the $D^*$ are compared with the AROMA generator. Finally results for the LO flavor separation of the three lightest quark polarized parton distributions.

37 Measurement of high-Q2 e+p neutral current cross sections at HERA and determination of the structure function xF3

The cross sections for neutral current deep inelastic scattering in e+p collisions with a longitudinally polarised positron beam have been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The single-differential cross-sections dsigma/dQ2, dsigma/dx and dsigma/dy and the double-differential cross sections in Q2 and x are measured in the kinematic region Q2 > 185 GeV2 for both positively and negatively polarised electron beams and for each polarisation state separately. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of 136 pb-1 taken in 2006 and 2007 at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The structure functions xF_3 and xF_3^{\gammaZ} are determined by combining the e+p results presented in this analysis with previously measured e-p neutral current data. The measured cross sections are compared to the predictions.

38 Luminosity Measurement at HERA with Elastic QED Compton Events

At HERA, deep inelastic scattering progresses have been studied in order to probe the fundamental forces predicted by the standard model and the structure of the proton. One of the most fundamental processes is the elastic production of photons, e p -> e p gamma. For the case where the momentum transfer at the proton vertex is small, but both the electron and the photon have significant transverse momentum, the process is referenced as elastic QED Compton scattering. This process has the feature that it may be calculated at high precision in the framework of perturbative QED, and experimental background from other processes, like deeply-virtual Compton scattering, is small. In this analysis, the rate of elastic QED Compton events together with the cross section predicted from QED in used to measure the integrated luminosity of H1 datasets. The results are compared to default measurements of the integrated luminosity using Bethe-Heitler events.

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). Having performed a global fit analysis, we achieve a very good description of all available measurements by introducing a new set of quark distribution form for the Pomeron. We predict longitudinal and charm proton diffractive structure function as well. Our results are compared with other analysis from the literature.

43 Evidence for breakdown of the DGLAP description in diffractive DIS at HERA

HERA data on diffractive DIS show deviations from twist 2 DGLAP predictions below Q^2 5 GeV^2 at low x_P, which may reach up to 100%. These deviations are consistent with higher twists effects extracted from the saturation model. It is a first direct evidence for the higher twists in DIS. This finding affects determination of the diffractive parton densities that are used for the predictions at the LHC.

44 Analysis of higher twists in DIS and diffractive DIS at HERA and its implications for the saturation model

We present new results on determination of higher twist contributions in diffractive DIS and compare them to the inclusive DIS case. In both cases the framework for the estimates is provided by the saturation model. We discuss the methods of higher twist extraction from the saturation model and compare the results for DIS and DDIS. We point out a striking difference in higher twist importance between DIS and DDIS: at low Q2 the effects are minor in DIS and they are large in DDIS. Moreover a comparison to HERA data hints on a necessary improvement of higher twist treatment in the saturation model. We present a possible QCD explanation of both findings.

The E-906/SeaQuest experiment at Fermilab will continue a series of Drell-Yan measurements to explore the antiquark structure of the nucleon and nuclei. To extend existing measurements to larger values of Bjorken-x, a 120 GeV proton beam extracted from Fermilab's main injector is used, resulting in a factor of 50 more luminosity than previous experiments and enabling access to values of x up to 0.9. An overview will be presented of the key physics goals of the E-906/SeaQuest collaboration. These include investigation of the dramatic dbar/ubar flavor asymmetry in the nucleon sea and its behavior at high x; study of the EMC effect in Drell-Yan scattering and the unexpected absence of any antiquark excess in existing data; and measurements of the angular dependence of the Drell-Yan process, sensitive to spin-orbit correlations within the nucleon.

55 From Jet Counting to Jet Vetoes

The properties of jets are used in many LHC physics searches. Higgs searches use jet vetoes and fixed recoil jet multiplicities. Searches for new physics particles require a careful distinction of decay jets from QCD jet radiation. We show that the exclusive number of jets at hadron colliders can be described with two simple patterns: staircase scaling and Poisson scaling. In photon plus jets production we can interpolate between the two patterns using simple kinematic cuts. The associated theoretical errors are well under control. We show how understanding the exclusive jet multiplicities significantly impacts Higgs searches and searches for supersymmetry at the LHC.

56 Measurements of jet production in pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

Differential jet cross sections and distributions have been measure inclusively, in dijet events and in multijet events, using information from the ATLAS calorimeters and tracking detectors. The inclusive jet measurements extend from 20 GeV to 1.5 TeV, and the dijet measurements cover a very wide mass range. Measurements based on tracking alone are sensitive only to the charged-particle content of the jet, but all accurate measurements down to low transverse momentum, where the onset of hard scattering can be studied as jets emerge from some scattering events. A wide range of QCD-based calculations is confronted with the data, ranging from soft physics models the high multiplicity partonic matrix elements and NLO QCD calculations matched to parton shower simulations, testing the understand of QCD in a new kinematic range.

The theoretical description of multi-jet final states is an issue of great importance at the LHC. The High Energy Jets (HEJ) framework offers a new approach to this and provides an all-order resummation of the dominant contributions from wide-angle QCD radiation.

59 Constraining the intrinsic charm/bottom content of the nucleon via photon + heavy quark production

The production of a prompt photon in association with a heavy-quark (charm or bottom) jet is a versatile process that can be used to study the structure of the proton and the nucleus. This process is extremely sensitive to the heavy quark PDFs, and can thus directly probe for intrinsic charm or bottom contributions. We present various predictions of this process at different colliders and detectors (D0,CDF, RHIC, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) portraying how the different kinematic ranges affect the constraint of IC/IB.

60 Fully massive scheme for jet production in DIS

We present the consistent treatment of heavy quarks in jet production processes in DIS at NLO accuracy. The method is based on the ACOT massive factorization scheme (Aivazis-Collins-Olness-Tung) which is already in use in global fits for PDFs. Extension of this method to jets faces the problem of infra-red singularities, which have to cancel between real and virtual corrections. Moreover, potential mass singularities have to be controlled in both contributions. To this end, we extended the dipole subtraction method (S. Catani, S. Dittmaier, M. H. Seymour, Z. Trocsanyi), which in its original form did not take into account QCD massive splittings in the initial state. We constructed relevant kinematics and dipole splitting functions together with their integrals. We partially adapted the method in MC program and checked against the known massive inclusive NLO results.

61 Measurements with ATLAS detector of jets containing charm and bottom quarks

The inclusive and dijet production cross-sections have been measured for jets containing b-hadrons (b-jets) in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The b-jets are identified using either a lifetime-based method, where secondary decay vertices of b-hadrons in jets are reconstructed using information from the tracking detectors, or a muon-based method where the presence of a muon is used to identify semileptonic decays of b-hadrons inside jets. The inclusive b-jet cross-section is measured as a function of transverse momentum. The bbbar-dijet cross-section is measured as a function of the dijet invariant mass, the azimuthal angle difference between the two jets, and the angular variable chi in two dijet mass regions. The results are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. D*+/- meson production in jets is also measured. D*+/- mesons found in jets are fully reconstructed in the decay chain: D*+ -> D0pi+, D0 -> K-pi+, and its charge conjugate.

63 Measurements of open heavy flavor production by PHENIX at RHIC

Heavy flavor quarks are produced in the early stages of heavy ion collisions and serve as an important probe of the strongly interacting deconfined medium believed to be produced in these collisions at RHIC. Measuring observables such as Nuclear Modification Factor and Elliptic Flow for open heavy flavor production can help in quantifying medium effects. Measurement of heavy flavor production in p+p collision is an absolutely necessary baseline measurement for nuclear modification factor. On the other hand, measurements of heavy quark production in p+p collisions provides an important cross-check of pQCD calculations. PHENIX has a unique ability to measure single lepton spectra both at |eta|< 0.35 and at 1.4<|eta|<1.9 rapidity ranges, with its Central and Muon arms, respectively. Single leptons are used to tag the production of heavy flavor quarks via semileptonic decay of heavy flavor mesons (D,B). The most recent PHENIX single lepton measurements for different colliding ion systems will be presented and compared to the most recent available theoretical model predictions.

Spin physics

64 TMD Theory Overview

Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distribution and fragmentation functions are described as Fourier transforms of matrix elements containing non-local combinations of quark and gluon fields. While the collinear functions are light-cone correlators in which the non-locality is restricted along the light-cone, the transverse momentum dependent functions are light-front correlators including a transverse (space-like) separation away from the light-cone. In the matrix elements the time-ordering is superfluous and they are parts of the full (squared) amplitudes that account for the connections to the hadrons (soft parts). The collinear (x-dependent) parton (quark or gluon) distribution functions (PDF’s) that appear in the parameterization of collinear leading-twist correlators are interpreted as momentum densities including polarized parton densities in polarized hadrons. They involve only spin-spin densities and they do not allow for a description of single-spin asymmetries in high-energy scattering processes at leading 1/Q order in the hard scale Q. TMD (x and pT-dependent) PDF’s that appear in the parameterization of TMD correlators include spin-spin as well as momentum-spin correlations and they are able to describe single-spin and azimuthal asymmetries, such as Sivers and Collins effects in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS), but there are many open issues on pT-factorization. Upon taking moments in pT (or taking Bessel weights) the correlators involve higher-twist operators, but evaluated at zero-momentum (gluonic pole matrix elements). They can be incorporated in a ‘generalized’ factorization scheme with specific gluonic pole factors such as the sign in SIDIS versus Drell-Yan, which can be traced back to having TMD’s with non-trivial process-dependent past- or future-pointing gauge links appearing in the light-front separated, non-local operator combinations.

65 One-Hadron transverse spin asymmetries at COMPASS

The quark content of the nucleon at twist-two level in the collinear case can be fully characterized by three independent distribution functions for each quark flavour: the unpolarized distribution function f1(x), the helicity distribution function g1(x) and the transverse spin distribution function h1(x), also called transversity. The measurements of single spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) on a transversely polarized target are an important part of the COMPASS physics program. By measuring azimuthal asymmetries in hadron production one can access both transversity - using the Collins fragmentation function - and the Sivers distribution function. The COMPASS collaboration has measured these asymmetries in the scattering of a 160 GeV/c polarized mu+ beam off a transversely polarized 6LiD (deuteron) target in the years 2002-2004 and off a transversely polarized NH3 (proton) target in 2007 and 2010. In this contribution we present the results from the 2010 data for the Collins and Sivers asymmetries.

The azimuthal $\cos\phi$ and $\cos2\phi$ modulations of the distribution of hadrons produced in unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of electrons and positrons off hydrogen and deuterium targets have been measuread at the HERMES experiment. For the first time these modulations were determined in a four-dimensional kinematic space for positively and negatively charged pions and kaons separately, as well as for unidentified hadrons. These azimuthal dependences are sensitive to the transverse motion and polarization of the quarks within the nucleon via, e.g., the Cahn, Boer-Mulders and Collins effects.

70 Uncertainties in Determining Parton Distributions at Large x: Results from the CJ Collaboration

The results of a global next-to-leading order fit of parton distribution functions in which cuts on W and Q are relaxed, thereby including more data at high values of x, will be reported. 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 stable to TMC model variations as long as higher twist contributions are also included. Importantly, uncertainties in parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large x arising from nuclear effects in deuterium F2 structure function data are evaluated. Within this global analysis, the impact on the PDFs from uncertainties in the deuteron wave function at short distances and nucleon off-shell effects, the use of relativistic kinematics, as well as the use of less a restrictive parametrization of the d/u ratio, have been assessed. In particular the d-quark and gluon PDFs are found to vary significantly with the choice of nuclear model. The impact of these uncertainties on the determination of the neutron structure function, and on W boson production and parton luminosity at the Tevatron and the LHC are highlighted. Prospects for new measurements sensitive to the d-quark and gluon distributions but insensitive to nuclear corrections will also be discussed.

We report central exclusive production results studied at the Run II Collider Detector at Fermilab with focus on our recently published paper on the first observation of exclusive γγ production in pp ̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV at the Tevatron. In particular, starting from earlier studies by the CDF collaboration, we discuss exclusive dijet, dilepton, Z, J/Ψ and χc productions and finally our recent observation of exclusive diphoton production. Whereas the lepton pairs and Z are purely QED processes, the J/Ψ is produced by photo-production, mediated by photon-pomeron exchange (γ + IP). The double pomeron exchange producing the exclusive dijet, Charmonium and diphotons via quark-loop is of great interest looking towards the possibilities of finding an exclusive Higgs at the Large Hadron Collider (if it exists). The production mechanism for an exclusive Higgs is similar via a heavy quark-loop with no other particles produced.

81 High energy exclusive leptoproduction of the rho-meson: theory and phenomenology

Exclusive leptoproduction of vector mesons has been the subject of recent significant progress, both theoretically and experimentally. In particular, the hard regime with a highly virtual photon exchange allows to separate a short distance dominated amplitude of hard subprocess from suitably defined hadronic objects. However, a consistent picture is still missing, in particular for contributions to the scattering amplitude beyond the leading power in the photon virtuality. We recently described the hard production of transversally polarized rho-meson, up to twist 3 accuracy, including 2- and 3- particles Fock-states, in the HERA kinematics of high center-of-mass energy. Furthermore, we here show how saturation effects could be included in our model. This is based on the dipole representation of the scattering amplitude in coordinate space, which we extend up to twist 3, based on our previous studies of the scattering amplitude in momentum space. We compare our model with H1 and ZEUS data for the ratios of helicity amplitudes T(gamma*T -> rhoT )/T(gamma*L -> rhoL) and T(gamma*T -> rhoL)/T(gamma*L -> rhoL) and get a good description of the data.

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 of top-quark pair production, given the excellent understanding of detector performance and the unique proton-antiproton initial state. We present recent measurements of such observables from CDF. These include the direct measurement of the ratio R of the branching fraction of top-quark decaying to W + b-quark over the branching fraction of top-quark decaying to W + any quark flavor. The measurement uses data corresponding to 7.5/fb of integrated luminosity in the lepton+jets decay channel. The ratio R constrains the |V_tb| element of the CKM matrix. We also present a measurement of the spin correlation coefficient of the top-quark pair, which can be directly measured uniquely in the top-pair system thanks to the very short life time of the top-quark. This measurement uses data corresponding to 5.1/fb of integrated luminosity in the dilepton decay channel. Finally, we present a study of the top-quark pair production asymmetries in the lepton+jets channel using the full CDF Run II data set which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.7/fb. The study includes the measurement of the cross section differential in the top-pair rapidity difference, the measurement of the inclusive forward-backward asymmetry A_FB, as well as the measurement of A_FB as a function of the rapidity difference and of the invariant mass of the top-pair system. The production asymmetries are sensitive to the top-quark pair production mechanism, thus constraining quantum chromodynamics at higher order and testing for possible new physics.

103 Global Analysis of Nuclear Parton Distributions

We present a new global QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions and their uncertainties. In addition to the most commonly analyzed data sets for deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons off nuclei and Drell-Yan di-lepton production, we include also measurements for neutrino nuclei scattering as well as inclusive pion production in deuteron gold collisions. The analysis is performed at next-to-leading order accuracy in perturbative QCD in a general mass variable flavor number scheme, adopting a current set of free nucleon parton distribution functions, defined accordingly, as reference. The emerging picture is one of consistency, where universal nuclear modification factors for each parton flavor reproduce the main features of all data without any significant tension among the different sets. We use the Hessian method to estimate the uncertainties of the obtained nuclear modification factors and examine critically their range of validity in view of the sparse kinematic coverage of the present data. We briefly present several applications of our nuclear parton densities in hard nuclear reactions at BNL-RHIC, CERN-LHC, and a future electron ion collider.

104 An update and comparison of global NPDF analyses

A global NPDF analysis of the combined charged-lepton DIS, DY and neutrino DIS data finds a tension between the nuclear correction factors in nA DIS and ℓA DIS. We explore possible sources of this tension by comparing the input PDFs used by different nuclear global fitting groups, and also compute ratios of experimental observables which (largely) minimize any theoretical bias. We also show comparisons with recent nPDF determinations. This work helps to isolate the sources of possible tensions in the extracted nuclear corrections.

105 Using the BFKL resummation to fit DIS data: collinear and running coupling effects

The proton structure function F_2 is studied in the low x regime using BFKL evolution instead of the usual DGLAP approach, suited for large values of the DIS x variable. 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 behavior of the NLL BFKL result. This study is presented emphasizing the theoretical uncertainties that appear throughout the analysis and a comparison with the combined HERA data is given.

We determine for the first time a full set of uncertainty uPDFs which allow to study the uPDF uncertainty for processes at HERA and the LHC. We also show a comparison of predictions using the new uPDFs with measurements from HERA and the LHC.

108 Probing the Low-x Structure of the Nucleus with the PHENIX Detector

One of the fundamental goals of the PHENIX experiment is to understand the structure of cold nuclear matter, since this serves as the initial state for heavy-ion collisions. Knowing the initial state is vital for interpreting measurements from heavy-ion collisions. Moreover, the structure of the cold nucleus by itself is interesting since it is a test-bed for our understanding of QCD. In particular there is the possibility of novel QCD effects such as gluon saturation at low-x in the nucleus. At RHIC we can probe the structure of cold nuclear matter using d+Au collisions. We will present measurements of forward di-hadron correlations and inclusive J/Psi production, which seem to show some interesting effects in the cold nucleus, especially as one probes down to Bjorken x of about $10^{-3}$ in the Au nucleus.

109 Diffractive pQCD mechanisms of exclusive production of $b \bar b$ dijets and $W^+ W^-$ pairs in proton-proton collisions

We discuss central exclusive production of $W^+W^-$ pairs in proton-proton collisions at LHC. Several observables related to this process are calculated. Predictions for the total cross section and differential distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum of $W^{\pm}$ and $WW$ invariant mass are presented. We show results for different polarization states of the final $W^{\pm}$ bosons. We discuss both $\gamma \gamma \to W^+ W^-$ mechanism as well as a new mechanism of exclusive diffractive production. The amplitude for the latter process is calculated in the Durham model used recently to estimate cross section for exclusive production of Higgs boson, gluon-gluon, $b \bar b$ dijets as well as for pairs of photons. Some results for those processes will be discussed briefly and compared to the CDF collaboration data. The amplitude for the $p p \to p p W^+ W^-$ process is expressed in terms of off-diagonal unintegrated gluon distribution functions. We compare the two (QED and QCD) types of contributions. The phase space integrated diffractive contribution when separated is only a small fraction of fb compared to 115.4 fb of the $\gamma \gamma$ contribution. The $\gamma \gamma$ contribution dominates at small four-momentum transfers squared in the proton lines as well as in a broad range of $W^+ W^-$ invariant masses. This opens a possibility of searches for anomalous four-boson $\gamma \gamma W^+ W^-$ coupling due to new physics beyond Standard Model. The example are Higgsless models. The presentation will be based mostly on our recent study. I will also show some published results on exclusive production of Higgs and dijets.

The OPERA neutrino experiment at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory has measured the velocity of neutrinos from the CERN CNGS beam over a baseline of about 730 km with much higher accuracy than previous studies conducted with accelerator neutrinos. The measurement is based on high-statistics data taken by OPERA in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dedicated upgrades of the CNGS timing system and of the OPERA detector, as well as a high precision geodesy campaign for the measurement of the neutrino baseline, allowed reaching comparable systematic and statistical accuracies.

117 Precision Polarized SIDIS Experiments in Hall-A at 12 GeV JLab

One of the cleanest ways to access the Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions of the nucleon is to measure single (SSA) and double spin asymmetries (DSA) in semi-inclusive DIS reactions using polarized nucleon targets. The Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade will provide a unique opportunity to perform such precision measurements and to map these multi-dimensional PDFs. In this talk, we will present our plans for performing these precision measurements in Hall-A using Large acceptance SoLID spectrometer and polarized proton and 3 He (neutron) targets. In particular, we will focus on two approved A-rated experiments using both longitudinally and transversely polarized 3 He targets, and a conditionally approved experiment with a transversely polarized proton target. The high luminosities from these targets and the large acceptance of the SoLID spectrometer will allow for a precise 4-dimensional (x, Q2 , z, PT ) mapping of SSA and DSA. The full azimuthal angular coverage is necessary to untangle various angular moments and thereby reduce the systematic uncertainties. These experiments will provide the most precise data to extract transversity, Sivers and Worm-gear distributions of u and d-quarks and provide comprehensive information on the correlation between quark angular momentum and the nucleon’s spin.

In the framework of the kt-factorization approach, the production of unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair at high energies is studied. The consideration is based on the O(alpha) and $O(alpha alpha_s) off-shell partonic matrix elements with virtual photon and Z boson exchange. The calculations include leptonic decays of Z bosons with full spin correlations as well as gamma - Z interference. The unintegrated parton densities in a proton are determined by the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. Our numerical predictions are compared with the data taken by the D0, CDF and CMS collaborations at the Tevatron and LHC energies. Special attention is put on the specific angular distributions measured very recently by the CDF collaboration for the first time.

Large logarithms are resummed using soft-collinear effective theory. The collinear anomaly generates a non-perturbative scale q^∗, which protects the processes from receiving large long-distance hadronic contributions.

121 Quark and Gluon Tagging at the LHC

Distinguishing light-quark jets from gluon jets on an event-by-event basis could significantly enhance the reach for many new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider. Through an exhaustive search of existing and novel jet substructure observables, we find that a multivariate approach can filter out over 95% of the gluon jets while keeping more than half of the light-quark jets. Moreover, a combination of two simple variables, the charge track multiplicity and the p_T-weighted linear radial moment (girth), can achieve similar results. I will discuss applications and address theoretical issues in the definitions of quark and gluon jets.

122 Normalised Multi-jet Cross Sections using Regularised Unfolding and Extractions of alpha_s(M_Z) in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at high Q^2 at HERA (H1)

New results on normalised inclusive jet, di-jet and trijet differential cross sections in neutral current deep-inelastic ep scattering (DIS) based on a regularised unfolding procedure are presented. Detector effects like acceptance and migrations as well as statistical correlations between the multi-jets and the inclusive DIS events are taken into account in this procedure. The DIS phase space of this measurement with the H1 detector is given by the virtuality of the exchanged boson (gamma*,Z^0) 150 < Q^2 < 15000 GeV^2 and the inelasticity of the interaction 0.2 < y < 0.7. The jets are reconstructed in the Breit frame of reference using the k_t jet algorithm. In all cases the jet pseudorapidities in the laboratory frame are required to be in the range -1.0 < eta_lab < 2.5. For inclusive jets the transverse momenta in the Breit frame are 7 < P_T < 50 GeV. The di-jet and tri-jet phase space are defined by requiring 5 < P_T,i < 50 GeV, and the invariant mass of the two leading jets M_1,2 > 16 GeV. Compared to a previously published result on normalised multi-jet cross sections, the new features are an extended range in jet pseudorapidity, an improved hadronic energy scale uncertainty of 1% and the adoption of a regularised unfolding procedure. The unfolded normalised jet cross sections are compared to QCD calculations at NLO and values for the strong coupling alpha_s(M_Z) are extracted.

123 Inclusive-Jet Photoproduction at HERA

Differential inclusive-jet cross sections have been measured in photoproduction for boson virtualities Q2 < 1 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 300 pb-1. Jets were identified in the laboratory using the kt cluster algorithm in the longitudinally inclusive mode. Cross sections are presented as functions of the jet pseudorapidity, etajet,and the jet transverse energy, Etjet. In addition, measurements of double-differential inclusive-jet cross sections are presented as functions of Etjet in different regions of etajet. These cross sections have the potential to constrain the gluon density in the proton and the photon when included as input to fits to extract the proton parton distribution functions. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measurements. A value of alphas(Mz) has been extracted from the measurements. The energy-scale dependence of the coupling has also been determined.

Aiming at better understanding of the properties of top quarks, we focus on top--antitop+X production at the LHC, with X being a vector, or scalar/pseudoscalar boson. We show predictions obtained by PowHel, a computing framework based upon the POWHEG-BOX program with input obtained from HELAC-NLO. The POWHEG-BOX generates event files according to the Les-Houches accord, and uses the POWHEG matching formalism to further evolve these events to the hadron level ready for use in any experimental analysis. We discuss the sensitivities of our predictions to the choice of the Shower Monte Carlo code (PYTHIA vs. HERWIG). We show examples of how the choice of different experimental cuts and/or heavy particle reconstruction strategies can affect the predictions and help disentangle our signals from important backgrounds, also involving top-quark production and decay.

129 Recent STAR results and future prospects of the W boson program at RHIC at BNL

The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory is carrying out a spin physics program in high-energy polarized proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200\,$GeV and $\sqrt{s}=500\,$GeV to gain a deeper insight into the spin structure and dynamics of the proton. The completion of the first $\sqrt{s}=500\,$GeV polarized proton run in 2009 opened a new era of spin-flavor structure measurements from $W^{-(+)}$ boson production. $W^{-(+)}$ bosons are produced in $\bar{u}+d\,(\bar{d}+u)$ collisions and can be detected through their leptonic decays, $e^{-}+\bar{\nu}_{e}\;(e^{+}+\nu_{e})$, where only the respective charged lepton is measured. The discrimination of $\bar{u}+d\;(\bar{d}+u)$ quark combinations requires distinguishing between high $p_{T}$ $e^{-(+)}$ through their opposite charge sign, which in turn requires precise tracking information. Recent published STAR results on the first measurement of $W^{-}/W^{+}$ and $Z$ boson production will be shown. The STAR experiment has recently started the installation of the Forward GEM Tracker to enhance the charge separation of high $p_{T}$ $e^{-(+)}$ at forward pseudorapidities and will begin the commissioning of this new tracking system during the upcoming 2012 running period. The status of the Forward GEM Tracker along with a discussion of future prospects will be presented.

130 NNPDF determination of polarized parton distributions of the nucleon at NLO

We present a preliminary determination of a set of polarized parton distributions of the nucleon, at next-to-leading order, from a global set of deep-inelastic scattering data. The determination is based on the NNPDF methodology: a Monte Carlo sampling with neural networks used as unbiased interpolants. This method, which has already been applied to a determination of unpolarized parton distributions, is designed to provide a faithful and statistically sound representation of the uncertainty on parton distributions. We discuss the general NNPDF procedure to parton fitting, focusing on the algorithm used to determine the optimal fit. We also present a preliminary set of polarized PDFs, compared to other parton extractions recently obtained by other collaborations. In particular, we show that "traditional" fits tend to underestimate the PDF uncertainty, particularly for the gluon, which is basically unconstrained by inclusive DIS data.

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-quark polarization distributions for up- and down-quarks in the proton. The PHENIX collaboration has measured $A_L$ for electrons from $W$-decay in the central rapidity region, $-0.35 < \eta < 0.35$ based on a data sample taken in 2009. A second data sample taken in 2011 is being used to measure $A_L$ for $W$-decays into muons with two PHENIX forward muon spectrometers covering $1.2 < |\eta| < 2.4$. Cross sections for $W^\pm$-boson production at central rapidity and the corresponding single spin asymmetries will be presented. The cross sections will be compared with similar measurements at LHC. The upgrade effort directed at $W$-physics in the muon spectrometers just has been completed. The new instrumentation will be briefly described and the the status of the $W$-analysis in the PHENIX muon spectrometers will be discussed.

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 data are close to and in some cases even above the bounds. Data on F_L/F_2 significantly exceeding the bounds would rule out the standard dipole picture at these kinematic points. We discuss, furthermore, what can be learned from data respecting the bounds but coming close to them.

139 Measurement of Photon Production in the Very Forward Direction in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA [H1]

The production of photons at very small angles with respect to the proton beam direction is studied in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA. The data are taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of $126 \mathrm{pb}^{-1}$. The analysis covers the range of negative four momentum transfer squared at the positron vertex $6<Q^2<100$ GeV$^2$ and inelasticity $0.05<y<0.6$. Cross sections are measured for the most energetic photon with pseudorapidity $\eta>7.9$ as a function of its transverse momentum $p_T^{lead}$ and longitudinal momentum fraction of the incoming proton $x_L^{lead}$. In addition, the cross sections are studied as a function of the sum of the longitudinal momentum fraction $x_L^{sum}$ of all photons in the pseudorapidity range $\eta>7.9$. The cross sections are normalised to the inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross section and compared to the predictions of models of deep-inelastic scattering and models of the hadronic interactions of high energy cosmic rays.

As an example, I describe a calculation of the dijet cross-section with a jet veto which resums the leading logarithms of the veto scale and it is matched to a fixed-order computation. I compare this prediction to the measurement performed by the ATLAS collaboration as well as to other different approaches. Finally, I outline future developments in this research area.

144 Heavy Quark Production in the ACOT Scheme at NNLO and N3LO

We analyze the properties of the ACOT scheme for heavy quark production and make use of the MS-bar massless results at NNLO and N3LO for the structure functions F2 and FL in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering to estimate the higher order corrections. For this purpose we decouple the heavy quark mass entering the phase space from the one entering the dynamics of the short distance cross section. We show numerically that the phase space mass is generally more important. Therefore, the dominant heavy quark mass effects at higher orders can be taken into account using the massless Wilson coefficients together with an appropriate slow-rescaling prescription implementing the phase space constraints. Combining the exact ACOT scheme at NLO with these expressions should provide a good approximation to the missing full calculation in the ACOT scheme at NNLO and N3LO.

145 On the NNLO QCD corrections to deep-inelastic heavy-quark production

We present exact results for the heavy-quark structure functions in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) in different kinematical regimes and to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. We combine the behavior near threshold, in the high-energy limit and at asymptotically large $Q2 \gg m2$ to derive approximate expressions at NNLO accuracy. The remaining theoretical uncertainties of this approximation are negligible except in a region of small-$x$ and low $Q2$ and we illustrate the improvement in precision predictions for heavy-quark DIS.

146 The singular behavior of one-loop massive QCD amplitudes with one external soft gluon

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 next-to-next-to-leading order.

147 The MSSM after two years of LHC running

The LHC is closing in on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The null results from superparticle searches, and the preliminary evidence for a 124-126 GeV Higgs, severely constrain various popular minimal scenarios. In this talk I will review these constraints, and point out how the LHC results can still be accommodated within the MSSM. The resulting superparticle mass spectra may provide interesting clues about the underlying model which generates the soft SUSY breaking terms.

152 PHENIX Upgrade Plans for the Next Decade

During 12 years of operations, PHENIX has measured the gluon helicity structure of the proton, probed the proton transverse spin structure, studied effects in cold nuclear matter, discovered a strongly coupled QGP and has studied many of its basic properties. In parallel with ongoing luminosity upgrades at RHIC, PHENIX is in the process of planning and commissioning a series of upgrades in order to systematically expand its physics capabilities, allowing measurement of the sea quark helicity distributions, the low x gluon distribution in heavy nuclei and charm and bottom quark production in Heavy Ion collisions. PHENIX is also planning a larger upgrade for the next decade to answer many of the questions spurred by our discoveries during the last decade. With increased acceptance and improved electromagnetic and new hadronic calorimetry in the central region, we will advance understanding of the sQGP by studying jet energy loss. We also plan to upgrade our forward physics detector with additional calorimetry and tracking acceptance. This will allow for measurements of the Sivers effect in Drell-Yan, which can test our understanding of QCD factorization. The larger acceptance will improve our access to low x distributions in heavy nuclei, and also enable measurements of jets in the forward direction, which will allow for a more systematic approach to understanding the large transverse spin measurements seen at RHIC.

Fragmentation functions (FFs) describe the formation of final state particles from a partonic initial state. Precise knowledge of these functions is a key ingredient in accessing quantities such as the nucleon spin structure in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and proton proton collisions. However, fragmentation functions can currently not be determined from first principles Quantum Chromodynamics and have to be extracted from experimental data. The Belle experiment at KEK, Japan, provides a large data sample for high precision measurements of quantities allowing for first-time or more precise extractions of fragmentation functions. Completed and ongoing analyses for extractions of spin-independent (unpolarized FFs) as well as spin-dependent fragmentation functions (Collins and Interference FFs) at Belle will be presented.

159 Next-to-leading and resummed BFKL evolution with saturation boundary

We investigate the effects of the saturation boundary on small-x evolution at the next-to-leading order accuracy and beyond. We demonstrate that the instabilities of the next-to-leading order BFKL evolution are not cured by the presence of the nonlinear saturation effects, and a resummation of the higher order corrections is therefore needed for the nonlinear evolution. The renormalization group improved resummed equation in the presence of the saturation boundary is investigated, and the corresponding saturation scale is extracted. A significant reduction of the saturation scale is found, and we observe that the onset of the saturation corrections is delayed to higher rapidities. This seems to be related to the characteristic feature of the resummed splitting function which at moderately small values of x possesses a minimum.

161 Resummation of large-x and small-x double logarithms in DIS and semi-inclusive e+e- annihilation

Recently a method has been developed to extend the resummation of large-x double logarithms in inclusive DIS and semi-inclusive e^+e^- annihilation (SIA) to terms and quantities not addressed by the soft-gluon exponentiation. The N^nLL (leading log, next-to-leading log etc) resummation is based on N^nLO fixed-order results, the large-x structure of DIS and SIA in dimensional regularization and the all-order factorization of mass singularities. The same formalism can be applied to the dominant x-1 ln^{2*n-a-n_0} x terms in SIA splitting functions and coefficient functions and the (in the flavour-singlet case) subdominant x0 ln^{2*n-a-n_0} x contributions to (most of) their DIS counterparts. The talk addresses the theoretical basics of these resummations and presents the main numerical results which, despite all formal similarities, are qualitatively different for DIS and SIA.

This has only been achieved through the constant upgrade and enhancement of detectors and components every year, one of many examples being the recordable DAQ rate increasing by a factor of 10^3 since the first year. Although many measurements have been performed in the last decade, much remains to be done. In this presentation I will outline the proposed measurements and corresponding detector upgrades over the next decade in p+p, p+A and A+A physics as well as STAR’s role in the transition of RHIC to an eRHIC accelerator complex.

Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010 measured the target-single spin (SSA) and double spin asymmetries (DSA) in semi-inclusive deep inelastic pion electroproduction on a transversely polarized He-3 target. The measured asymmetry (A_UT) is sensitive to the nucleon transversity and Sivers distribution functions, whereas the measured A_LT asymmetry is related to the transverse momentum dependent PDF g_1T. The kinematics were chosen to be in the valence quark region with x ~ 0.16-0.35 and Q^2 ~ 1.4-2.7 GeV^2. The Collins moment, which is sensitive to transversity, the Sivers and A_LT moments, which are sensitive to the orbital motion of the quarks, were extracted using the azimuthal angular dependence of the measured asymmetries. These data, when combined with the data from other experiments on transversely polarized proton and deuteron targets, will help in extracting the nucleon transverse momentum dependent distribution functions via a global analysis. These semi-inclusive results will be presented and discussed along with the preliminary results for the inclusive single spin asymmetries.

178 Quantitative constraints on the gluon distribution function in the proton from collider isolated-photon data

The impact of isolated-photon data from proton-(anti)proton collisions at RHIC, SppbarS, Tevatron and LHC energies, on the parton distribution functions of the proton is studied using a recently developed Bayesian reweighting method. The impact on the gluon density of the 35 existing isolated-gamma measurements is quantified using next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations complemented with the NNPDF2.1 parton densities. The NLO predictions are found to describe well most of the datasets from 200 GeV up to 7 TeV centre-of-mass energies. The isolated-photon spectra recently measured at the LHC are precise enough to constrain the gluon distribution and lead to a moderate reduction (up to 20%) of its uncertainties around fractional momenta x~0.02. As a particular case, we show that the improved gluon density reduces the PDF uncertainty for the Higgs boson production cross section in the gluon-fusion channel by more than 20% at the LHC. We conclude that present and future isolated-photon measurements constitute an interesting addition to coming global PDF analyses.

182 Spin structure of the "forward" nucleon charge-exchange reaction n + p ---> p + n and the deuteron charge-exchange breakup

The structure of the nucleon charge-exchange process n + p --> p + n is investigated basing on the isotopic invariance of the nucleon-nucleon scattering. Using the operator of permutation of the spin projections of the neutron and proton, the connection between the spin matrices, describing the amplitude of the nucleon charge-exchange process at zero angle and the amplitude of neutron elastic scattering on the proton in the "backward" direction, has been considered. Due to the optical theorem, the spin-independent part of the differential cross-section of the process n + p --> p + n at zero angle for unpolarized particles is expressed through the difference of total cross-sections of unpolarized proton-proton and neutron-proton scattering. Meantime, the spin-dependent part of this cross-section is proportional to the differential cross-section of the deuteron charge-exchange breakup d + p --> (pp) + n at zero angle at the deuteron momentum {\bf k}_d = 2{\bf k}_n ( {\bf k}_n is the initial neutron momentum ). Analysis shows that, assuming the real part of the spin-independent term of the "forward" amplitude of the process n + p --> p + n to be smaller or of the same order as compared with the imaginary part, in the wide range of neutron laboratory momenta k_n > 700 MeV/c the main contribution into the differential cross-section of the process n + p --> p + n at zero angle is provided namely by the spin-dependent term .

184 Vector Meson Production and DVCS at CLAS and CLAS12

Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs) offer an insight into the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon and its internal dynamics, relating the transverse position of quarks to their longitudinal momentum. Two effective means of accessing GPDs are Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and Meson Production (DVMP), in which a high energy electron scatters from a single quark in the nucleon and, respectively, a real photon or meson is produced as a result. Jefferson Laboratory (JLab), USA, is ideally suited for measuring these processes and a very active experimental programme has been underway in the recent years, making use of the lab's continuous electron beam up to 6 GeV in energy and its large angle spectrometer CLAS. In the future, a vast, new, as-yet unprobed kinematic region will become experimentally accessible when the current upgrade of the JLab accelerator to operate at a maximum energy of 12 GeV is completed in a few years. It is being complemented by the construction of a new suite of detectors, CLAS12, a number of them optimised specifically for exclusive reconstruction of DVCS and DVMP in the new kinematic region. We present a selection of recent results of DVCS and DVMP measurements using CLAS and introduce the exciting experimental programme planned for the future with CLAS12.

185 Hard Exclusive Meson Production at COMPASS and Future DVCS Measurements at COMPASS-II

New results for the transverse target spin azimuthal asymmetry $A_{UT}^{\sin(\phi-\phi_S})$ for hard exclusive $\rho^0$-meson production on a transversely polarised NH$_3$ target will be presented. The measurement was performed in 2007 and 2010 with the COMPASS detector using the 160\,GeV/$c$ muon beam of the SPS at CERN. The asymmetry is sensitive to the nucleon helicity-flip generalised parton distributions $E^q$, which are related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks in the nucleon. The DVCS program of the future COMPASS-II experiment, dedicated to investigate the nucleon structure through Generalised Parton Distributions is presented as well.

186 Z' production in an extended MSSM

Searching for heavy neutral gauge bosons Z', predicted in extensions of the Standard Model based on a U(1)' gauge symmetry, is among the main new physics investigations undertaken by the experiments at the Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider. I will discuss study Z' phenomenology at hadron colliders according to several U(1)'-based models and in the Sequential Standard Model. In particular, as far as its decay is concerned, we shall include possible Z' decays into supersymmetric particles, besides the Standard Model modes so far investigated. Results on branching ratios and cross sections will be presented, as a function of the MSSM and U(1)' parameters, which will be varied within suitable ranges. Special attention will be paid to the decay into chargino, neutralino and charged-slepton pairs and gauge the feasibility to discover supersymmetry through this channel at the LHC.

187 Measurements of dibosons with the ATLAS detector and associated constraints on new physics

Diboson cross sections have been measure for all combinations of W,Z and isolated photons. The cross sections are measured in kinematic regions defined by the decay kinematics, in some cases including vetoes on additional jets. The measurements are also extrapolated to the full phase space using theoretical calculations of the acceptance, and are additionally used to place contsraints on triple-gauge boson couplings.

A search for events ep-> ep Z0 has been performed in ep collisions at HERA using the ZEUS detector. The search is based on the entire HERA-I and HERA-II data set, amounting to 0.49 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The Z0 was searched in the di-jet decay mode with elastic condition defined by etamax < 3, where etamax is defined as the pseudorapidity of the energy deposit in the calorimeter closest to the proton beam direction. A di-jet mass peak is observed at the Z0 mass and the number of signal events is extracted from a fit to the mass spectrum.

194 An eRHIC Detector: Design Consideration and its Realization by Means of Detector R&D

eRHIC is a proposed high luminosity, polarized Electron Ion Collider (EIC), which would make use of the existing RHIC infrastructure. eRHIC is a triple IP collider, with the possibility of using the two existing, but upgraded IP detectors and a dedicated eRHIC detector. A detector has to be designed that can make use of present knowledge and experience gained from the HERA detectors, but has to be adapted such that it is able to cope with the EIC physics program. This presentation will describe the eRHIC detector design and its IR as well the presently ongoing R&D activities for making technology choices towards such a detector.

198 Pion and Kaon multiplicities from muon-deuteron deep inelastic scattering at COMPASS

Fragmentation functions, which turn partons into non-perturbative hadronic bound states in hard-scattering reactions, play a very important role in our understanding of the proton structure. Currently, our knowledge of fragmentation functions originates mainly from existing global QCD analyses which are mostly based on inclusive measurements in electron-positron annihilation process. While the latter mainly fixes the flavour singlet combinations of fragmentation functions, semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering gives access to the flavour structure of FFs via hadron multiplicities. The COMPASS collaboration has recently measured pion and kaon multiplicities, in different combinations of bins in x, z and Q2, using 160 GeV/c muons off deuteron target. This measurement makes an experimental contribution for a deeper understanding on the fragmentation process.

200 Scaled Momentum Distributions for K^0_s and Lambda/anti-Lambda in DIS at HER

Scaled momentum distributions for the strange hadrons K0s and Lambda/Lambdabar were measured in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 330 pb-1. The evolution of these distributions with the photon virtuality, Q2, was studied in the kinematic region 10 < Q2 < 40000 GeV2 and 0.001 < x < 0.75, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable. Clear scaling violations are observed. Predictions based on different approaches to fragmentation were compared to the measurements. Tuned leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo calculations interfaced to the Lund string fragmentation model describe the data reasonably well in the whole range measured. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations based on fragmentation functions, FFs, extracted from e+e- data alone, fail to describe the measurements. The calculations based on FFs extracted from a global analysis including e+e-, ep and pp data give an improved description. The measurements presented in this paper have the potential to further constrain the FFs of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons yielding K0s and Lambda/Lambdabar strange hadrons.

201 On the pair correlations of neutral K, D, B and B_s mesons with close momenta produced in inclusive multiparticle processes

The phenomenological structure of inclusive cross sections of the production of two neutral K mesons in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is investigated taking into account the strangeness conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions. Relations describing the dependence of the correlations of two short-lived and two long-lived neutral kaons $K^0_S K^0_S$, $K^0_L K^0_L$ and the correlations of "mixed" pairs $K^0_S K^0_L$ at small relative momenta upon the space-time parameters of the generation region of $K^0$ and $\bar{K}^0$ mesons have been obtained. These relations involve the contributions of Bose-statistics and S-wave strong final-state interaction of two $K^0$ ( $\bar{K}^0$ ) mesons as well as of a $K^0$ meson with a $\bar{K}^0$ meson, and also the contribution of transitions $K^+ K^- --> K^0 \bar{K}^0$, and they depend upon the relative fractions of produced pairs $K^0 K^0$, $\bar{K}^0\bar{K}^0$ and $K^0\bar{K}^0$. It is shown that under the strangeness conservation the correlation functions of the pairs $K^0_S K^0_S$ and $K^0_L K^0_L$, produced in the same inclusive process, coincide, and the difference between the correlation functions of the pairs $K^0_S K^0_S$ and $K^0_S K^0_L$ is conditioned by the production of the pairs of non-identical neutral kaons $K^0 \bar{K}^0$. Analogous correlations for the pairs of neutral heavy mesons $D^0$, $B^0$ and $B_s^0$, generated in multiple processes with the charm (beauty) conservation, are analyzed, and differences from the case of neutral K mesons are discussed .

203 Charmonium production in pp collisions with ALICE

Due to their large mass, heavy quark pairs are considered to be produced in the first instants of the collision in hard scatterings of partons which can be described perturbatively. However, the bound states of these pairs are produced via soft non-perturbative processes. The interplay between the perturbative and non-perturbative processes involved in quarkonium production makes this field a very important testing ground for QCD. At the LHC, the special setup of the ALICE experiment allows the study of charmonium production in pp collisions down to zero transverse momentum in a large rapidity range, $|y|<0.9$ and $2.5<y<4.0$. We will present results on charmonium production from pp collisions recorded by ALICE at $\sqrt{s}=$~2.76 and 7 TeV. These will include, among others, the first LHC measurements on $J/\psi$ polarization and the dependence of $J/\psi$ production on the event charged particle multiplicity. The data will be discussed using calculations from different theoretical models. We will also show results on the $J/\psi$ production in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$~2.76 TeV in comparison with the pp collisions.

204 J/psi Photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Au+Au collisions measured by RHIC-PHENIX.

Title:J/psi Photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Au+Au collisions measured by RHIC-PHENIX. Ultra-peripheral collisions are heavy-ion collisions with impact parameter larger than twice the nuclear radius. Since there is no nuclear overlap, strong interactions cannot occur and ions interact through photon-ion (coherent), photon-nucleus (incoherent), and photon photon collisions. Measurement of vector meson photo production is a sensitive probe of gluon distribution in nuclei. At RHIC energy, measurement of J$/\psi$ photo production corresponds to x $\cong$ 0.015 and Q$^{2}$ =2.5 $GeV/c^2$. In the kinematic region, nuclear shadowing plays an important role and that still have large uncertainty. PHENIX has the capability of measuring J$/\psi$'s via their dielectron decays at mid-rapidity ($|y|<0.35$) and dimuon decays at forward (1.2$<|y|<$2.2) rapidity. PHENIX published J$/\psi$ photo production cross section at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV in the 2004 dataset [1] (add reference in the end). The measured cross section was found to be consistent with theoretical calculations within its statistical error. PHENIX collected higher statistics Au+Au collisions datasets in 2007 and 2010 that allow a more precise measurement over a wider rapidity range. In this talk I will present present new preliminary results for the integrated and differential cross section of UPC J$/\psi$ at central and forward rapidity.

209 W/Z/DY + jet as a test of the NLO BFKL kernel

We study W/Z/DY + jet events where the W/Z/DY boson is produced in the forward direction of one of the colliding protons and a jet is produced in the forward direction of the second proton. The resulting large rapidity difference between the final states then opens up the phase space for BFKL evolution which we would like to study in more detail. As a by-product of our study, we also provide an analytic expression for the high energy re-summed exclusive partonic W/Z + n jet cross-section in moment space. To construct the BFKL re-summed cross-section we determine an analytic expression for the exclusive W/Z/DY impact factor in (gamma, n) space which is combined with BFKL Green's function and jet impact factor. In particular, both impact factors are determined for non-zero conformal spin and allow therefore for the study of angular correlations. First numerical results for a number of observables which allow to isolate and test BFKL evolution are presented.

212 Production of Z and W in association with heavy quarks at CMS

The mechanism of production of heavy-flavoured mesons, containing b or c quarks, in association with vector bosons, W or Z, in the Standard Model is only partially understood. The study of events with one or two well-identified and isolated leptons accompanied by b-jets or secondary vertices is therefore crucial to refine the theoretical calculations in perturbative QCD, as well as validate associated Monte Carlo techniques. The deep understanding of these processes is furthermore required by Higgs and BSM analyses with similar final states. Using the LHC proton-proton collision data collected in 2010 and 2011 at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV by the CMS detector, preliminary measurements of the Z+b(b) cross sections and angular correlations are presented. Finally, the study of the W+c production rate with respect to the W charge and W+light jets rates allows to probe the strange quark content of the proton. These results are also presented.

The two-pion invariant-mass distribution is interpreted in terms of the pion electromagnetic form factor, |F(M(pipi)|, assuming that the studied mass range includes the contributions of the rho, rho' and rho'' vector-meson states. The masses and widths of the resonances were obtained and the Q2 dependence of the cross-section ratios sigma(rho'->pipi)\sigma(rho) and sigma(rho''->pipi)/sigma(rho) was extracted.

217 New determination of the nonperturbative form factor in QCD transverse-momentum resummation for vector boson production

In the conventional b_* model for the Collins–Soper–Sterman resummation, the resummed form factor is accompanied by the nonperturbative gaussian form factor, and it is known that the nonperturbative parameter associated with the latter exhibits the strong dependence on the logarithm of the vector boson invariant mass. On the other hand, an another approach to treat the impact parameter (b space) transform in the resummation formalism has been developed as the ``minimal prescription (MP)'' based on an analytic continuation procedure. By contrast to the b_* approach, the MP has advantages that it leaves unchanged the perturbative expansion to any (and arbitrarily-high) fixed order in \alpha_s and it does not require any infrared cut-off to avoid the Landau pole in the b-space integration. In the framework of the MP, however, the behavior of the corresponding nonperturbative form factor as a function of the vector boson invariant mass has been unknown. In this work, we present a first systematic study of the nonperturbative form factor associated with the resummed form factor in the MP. The matching of the b-space resummation formulas between the MP and the b_* model indicates that the nonperturbative form factor in the MP has the milder dependence on the vector boson invariant mass than that in the b_* model . To clarify this point quantitatively, we perform a global fit of the nonperturbative form factor in the MP resummation at the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, with the Z boson production data at the Tevatron and the low energy Drell-Yan data. We obtain good description of the transverse momentum distribution of vector bosons using a gaussian form of the nonperturbative form factor and find the weak dependence of the corresponding nonperturbative parameter on the vector boson invariant mass, which in turn allows an interpretation as arising from the intrinsic transverse momentum of partons inside the proton.

The transverse momentum spectrum of the emitted gluon is computed at first order in opacity expansion.

The spectrum presents a soft divergence. We comment on possible implications on observables in heavy ion collisions which are sensitive to the initial state radiation.

The internal structure of jets produced in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy provides a direct test of QCD calculations of gluon and quark radiation, as well as having sensitivity to hadronisation and underlying event. The transverse energy distribution around the jet core has been measured, as well as the fragmentation of a jet into charged particles. Jet shapes - including the jet mass - and jet substructure have the potential to identify jets coming from massive, boosted particles decaying hadronically. Techniques have also been developed for reducing the sensitivity of jet physics to soft QCD and to multiple proton-proton collisions. A selection of such variables is also measured and compared to a range QCD calculations and phenomenological models.

Beyond the leading-logarithmic accuracy the resummation is made more complicated by the presence of non-global logarithms and logarithms related to the choice of the jet-algorithm. We apply our calculation to the interesting case of the jet-mass in Z+jet events, which is of great phenomenological interest for boosted Higgs.

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.

The Belle collaboration recently reported the discovery of the p-wave Bottomonium singlets, hb(1P) and hb(2P), the surprising observation of resonant substructure in Y(5S) --> pi+pi-Y(nS), hb(mP) (n=1-3, m=1,2), and the first observation of the radiative transition hb(1P) --> gamma etab(1S) in 121.4 1/fb of data collected near the Upsilon(5S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We report further studies performed at this energy.

226 Confirmation of a new narrow mass state decaying into Upsilon(1S)gamma

Using the 1.3 fb$^{-1}$ sample of D0 RunII data taken between 2002 and 2006, we observe a new state decaying into $\Upsilon(1S) + \gamma$, where the $\Upsilon(1S)$ is detected by its decay into an oppositely charged muon pair, and the photon is reconstructed by its conversion into an electron-positron pair. The significance of this structure is six standard deviations and its mass is consistent with that of the state recently discovered by the ATLAS Collaboration.

During the year 2011, the LHCb experiment has accumulated 1 fb-1 of data in proton-proton collisions data at 7 TeV, collecting a sample rich in both Bc mesons and b baryons. Studies of these states provide a wealth of new measurements as well as probes of QCD theory predictions. We will present studies of Bc production together with precision measurements of both the mass and lifetime, in Bc->J/psi pi, J/psi mu nu and studies of the Bc-> J/psi 3pi mode.

231 Constraining quark angular momentum with the Sivers function

The determination of quark angular momentum requires the knowledge of the generalized parton distribution E in the forward limit. We assume a connection between this function and the Sivers transverse-momentum distribution, based on model calculations and theoretical considerations. Using this assumption, we show that it is possible to fit at the same time nucleon magnetic moments and semi-inclusive single-spin asymmetries. This imposes additional constraints on the Sivers function and opens a plausible way to quantifying quark angular momentum.

239 New features in version 2 of the fastNLO project

Standard methods for higher-order pQCD calculations of cross sections in hadron-induced collisions are time-consuming. The fastNLO project uses multi-dimensional interpolation techniques to convert the convolutions of perturbative coefficients with parton distribution functions and the strong coupling into simple products. By integrating the perturbative coefficients for a given observable with interpolation kernels, fastNLO can store the results of the time-consuming calculation in tables which can subsequently be used for very fast calculations of the same observable for arbitrary PDFs, alpha_s, and different scales. These tables and corresponding user codes are currently available for a large number of jet measurements at the LHC, the Fermilab Tevatron, and HERA. fastNLO is currently used in publications of experimental results by the ATLAS, CMS, CDF, D0, and H1 collaborations, and in all recent global PDF analyses by MSTW, CTEQ, and NNPDF. This talk will focus on new developments, implemented in the new version 2 of fastNLO, which enhance and broaden the functionality.

Inclusive jet and dijet double-differential cross sections have been measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The cross sections were measured using jets clustered with the anti-kT algorithm. The measurements are performed in the jet rapidity range |y|<4.4, covering jet transverse momenta from 20 GeV to 1.5 TeV and dijet invariant masses from 70 GeV to 5 TeV. The data are compared to expectations based on next-to-leading order QCD calculations corrected for non-perturbative effects, as well as to next-to-leading order Monte Carlo predictions. In addition to a test of the theory in a new kinematic regime, the data also provide sensitivity to parton distribution functions in a region where they are currently not well-constrained.

242 On the timelike splitting functions at NNLO and beyond

We present the third-order (NNLO) contributions to the timelike splitting functions governing the evolution of parton fragmentation functions in QCD. The hitherto missing quark-gluon and gluon-quark quantities have been derived by studying physical evolution kernels for photon- and Higgs-exchange DIS structure functions and their counterparts in semi-inclusive annihilation, together with constraints from the momentum sum rule and supersymmetric limit. A numerically tolerable uncertainty remains in the quark-gluon case which does not affect the endpoint logarithms for small and large momentum fractions x. The stability of the perturbative expansion at small x is spoiled by large double logarithms up to alpha_s^n ln^{2*n-2} x. Much more stable results are obtained when the fixed-order results are combined with the new small-x resummation up to the next-to-next-to-leading (NNL) logarithms (the derivation of which is discussed in another contribution).

246 Diffraction and rapidity gap measurements with ATLAS

Transverse energy distributions and regions of low activity in proton-proton scattering events are sensitive to soft physics, low x and diffractive processes, and have been measured in inclusive "minimum bias" scatters as well as in dijet events at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. In the inclusive analysis, cross sections are measured differentially in terms of Delta eta F, the larger of the pseudorapidity regions extending to the limits of the ATLAS sensitivity, in which no final state particles are produced above a transverse momentum threshold p_T Cut. The measurements span the region 0 < Delta eta F < 8 for 200 < p_T Cut < 800 MeV. The data are used to constrain the value of the pomeron intercept appropriate to triple Regge models of soft diffraction, and the cross section integrated over all gap sizes is compared with other LHC inelastic cross section measurements. The dijet measurements study jet activity in the rapidity interval bounded by a dijet system, as well as in the forward region. Differential distributions are compared to various QCD calculations including different approximations for gluon radiation.

250 Timelike Compton Scattering - new theoretical results and experimental possibilities

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) offer a new way to access the quark and gluon nucleon structure. We advocate the need to supplement the experimental study of deeply virtual Compton scattering by its crossed version, timelike Compton scattering (TCS) i.e. the exclusive photoproduction of a lepton pairs with large invariant mass. We review recent progress in this domain, in particular the need to include NLO corrections to any phenomenological program to extract GPDs from experimental data. We also stress that data on TCS at high energy should be available soon thanks to the proposed experimental program at JLab at 12 GeV, and study of ultraperipheral collisions at RHIC and LHC which opens a window on quark and gluon GPDs at very small skewness.

I will discuss the color glass condensate (CGC) based calculation of two gluon TMDs inside a large nucleus at small x. The main focus is on the linearly polarized gluon TMD which is often referred to as the gluon Boer-Mulders function. With the derived gluon TMDs at small x, it is shown that an effective TMD factorization can be established at small x in a certain kinematical region. As a result, this distribution, in principle, can be accessed through measuring $\cos 2 \phi$ azimuthal asymmetries in various hard scattering processes, such as di-jets production in SIDIS, virtual photon-jet production in pA collisions and heavy quark pair production in pA collisions.

Lipatov's high-energy effective action is a very promising tool for computations in the Regge limit beyond leading order.

In this talk we present the results of the diffractive single-pion production on the protons and nuclei (both for the coherent and incoherent cases). We demonstrate that all the evaluations which are based on Adler relation (AR) are valid only in the region up to 10 GeV, in the regime of short lifetime of heavy hadronic fluctuations. At higher energies, when all the relevant time scales considerably exceed the size of the target, the AR explicitly breaks down on an absorptive target, such as a heavy nucleus. In this regime, close to the black disc limit, the off-diagonal diffractive amplitudes vanish, while the diagonal one, \pi->\pi, which enters the AR, maximizes and saturates the unitarity bound.

This results motivate us to study such effects like parton saturation in final states where one is inevitably led to investigate how to combine physics of the BK and CCFM evolution equations. As a result of this study new equations are obtained. A new exclusive form of the BK equation is presented and also an extension of the CCFM equation to account for nonlinearity.

We show that this is not the case for azimuthal angle dependent quantities since at high energies the BFKL approach is dominated by its zero conformal spin component while the CCFM gluon Green function receives contributions from all conformal spins even at very small x.

271 Linearly Polarized Gluons and the Higgs Transverse Momentum Distribution

We investigate the possible role of linearly polarized gluons in Higgs production from unpolarized pp collisions. The angular independent transverse momentum distribution of the produced Higgs boson is found to exhibit a modulation (max 30%) with respect to the naive, unpolarized expectation, with the sign depending on the CP nature of the Higgs boson. The transverse momentum distribution of a scalar Higgs will, therefore, have a shape clearly different from a pseudo-scalar Higgs. We suggest that this effect can be used to determine the parity of the Higgs at the LHC, without the need to use challenging angular distributions of final state particles.

272 COMPASS results on transverse spin asymmetries in two-hadron production in SIDIS

For each quark flavour three independent parton distribution functions (PDF) are necessary to describe the nucleon at twist-two level, the quark distribution f1(x), the helicity distribution g1(x) and the transversity distribution h1(x). The transversity distribution function is chiral-odd and therefore is not accessible in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). However, h1(x) can be observed in semi-inclusive DIS in combination with another chirally odd function like the two-hadron interference fragmentation function (IFF) in two-hadron production, which is the subject of this contribution. The 160 GeV/c polarized µ+ beam of CERN's M2 beamline allows COMPASS to investigate the spin structure of the nucleon using polarized solid state targets. After taking the first data on a transversely polarized proton target NH3 in 2007, a full year of data taking followed in 2010 to increase precision. In this contribution the latest results from the 2010 data for the azimuthal asymmetries in two-hadron production are presented, as well as the corresponding results on a polarized deuteron target 6LiD from the data taken in the years 2002-2004. An extraction of h1(x) via a coupling to the two-hadron IFF has been carried out for the 2007 data.

A nonzero asymmetry in the correlation of azimuthal orientations of opposite $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs is related to the transverse polarization of fragmenting quarks through a significant polarized dihadron fragmentation function. A combined analysis of this asymmetry and the spin asymmetry in the SIDIS process $ep^{\uparrow}\to e'(\pi^+\pi^-)X$ has led to the first extraction of the transversity parton distribution function in the framework of collinear factorization.
