Alexei Myagkov (Institute for High Energy Physics (RU))02/12/2013, 14:25MPI & Small-xTalkThe high-energy pp collisions at the LHC provide unique opportunity to study particle flow and event shapes of the hadronic final state particles. Evolution of the event shape variables, such as the transverse thrust, thrust minor and transverse sphericity have been studied for minimum bias events. Particle distributions sensitive to the underlying event have been measured using calorimeter...Go to contribution page

Ivan Pozdnyakov (ITEP Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (RU))02/12/2013, 15:00MPI & Small-xTalkWe present recent results sensitive to small-x physics, using data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. Measurements of the azimuthal decorrelations of Mueller-Navalet dijets at 7 TeV are discussed, and compared to BFKL and DGLAP-based predictions, including the effects of angular ordering and multiparton interactions. Recent studies of low-pT and forward jets at 8TeV, and of the hadronic...Go to contribution page

Piotr Kotko02/12/2013, 15:25MPI & Small-xTalkWe present three jet cross sections for proton-proton and proton-lead collisions in a situation where one or all of the jets are in the forward region. The calculation is performed using gauge invariant tree-level off-shell matrix elements and unintegrated gluon density with dynamical nonlinear effects allowing for gluon saturation. Since we deal with asymmetric collisions in the fractions of...Go to contribution page

Prof. Victor Kim (St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute - PNPI, Gatchina)02/12/2013, 15:45MPI & Small-xTalkPhenomenological aspects of search for BFKL effects at LHC energies are briefly reviewed. Different observables for forward dijets with large rapidity separation are discussed. In particular, azimuthal angle decorrelations of Mueller-Navelet dijets and ratios for inclusive dijet and Mueller-Navelet dijet cross sections to two-jet cross section are considered.Go to contribution page

Mr Bertrand Ducloue02/12/2013, 16:30MPI & Small-xTalkThe study of the production of two forward jets with a large interval of rapidity at hadron colliders was proposed by Mueller and Navelet as a possible test of the high energy dynamics of QCD. We analyze this process within a complete next-to-leading logarithm framework supplemented by the use of the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie procedure to find the optimal renormalization scale. This leads to a...Go to contribution page

Volodymyr Kotlyar (Nat. Acad. of Sciences of Ukraine (UA))02/12/2013, 16:50MPI & Small-xTalkProduction of real and virtual photons in coincidence with jets, J/psi - mesons and jets, and phi-meson pairs is studied at the LHC energies. Calculations for prompt-photon and lepton-pair production are performed at NLO accuracy with the help of aMC@NLO and MadGraph. Processes of mesons production in proton-proton scattering are simulated using Pythia 8. Computed cross sections are compared...Go to contribution page

Dr Burkhard Schmidt (CERN)02/12/2013, 17:10MPI & Small-xTalkWith a unique forward acceptance, and excellent vertexing and particle identification capability, LHCb is well-placed to make important contributions to heavy ion physics through measurements performed using data taken during pA and Ap collisions. The first studies of these data, on the production of onia vector mesons will be presented. The results include comparisons of the production...Go to contribution page

Albert Knutsson (University of Antwerp (BE))02/12/2013, 17:35MPI & Small-xTalkThe production yields of leading charged-particle jets and tracks in proton-proton collisions are measured at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV based on a data sample of 17.4 pb−1 collected with the CMS detector. The charged-particle jets (tracks) are measured in the pseudorapidity range |eta| < 2.0 (2.4) for transverse momenta pT > 1 (0.8) GeV. The yield distribution integrated over a given minimum transverse...Go to contribution page

To extend this unintegrated gluon density (u.g.d) at higher Q^2 we use the Catani-Ciafoloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM)...Go to contribution page

Emmanuel de Oliveira (IF - USP, Brazil)05/12/2013, 09:20MPI & Small-xTalkWe show that the observation of the Drell-Yan production of low-mass lepton-pairs (M < 20 GeV) at high rapidities (Y > 3) at the LHC can make a direct measurement of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the low x region, x < 10^{-4}. We describe a procedure that greatly reduces the sensitivity of the predictions to the choice of the factorization scale and, in particular, show how, by...Go to contribution page

Emilia Leogrande (University of Utrecht (NL))05/12/2013, 09:40MPI & Small-xTalkAt LHC energies, several pairs of partons can collide in each pp, pA or AA collision. Multiple Parton Interactions (MPIs) can affect many physical observables, such as the charged particle multiplicity and the average transverse momentum per event. In order to include jets down to the lowest energies ("minijets"), a two-particle correlation analysis is performed with the ALICE Detector. The...Go to contribution page

F Hautmann (Oxford / Sussex), H Jung (Desy / Antwerp)05/12/2013, 11:15MPI & Small-xTalkIn the forthcoming high-luminosity phase at the LHC many of the most interesting QCD measurements so far become prohibitively difficult due to the high pile-up. We suggest a program of QCD measurements based on the observed Higgs boson which can be started now and can be carried through also in the large pile-up environment at high luminosity. It focuses on gluonic processes...Go to contribution page
