We review the recent progress on the calculations on the inclusive forward hadron production within the saturation formalism. After introducing the concept of perturbative parton saturation and nonlinear evolution we discuss the formalism for the forward hadron production at high energy in the leading and next-to-leading order. Numerical results are presented and compared with the experimental data on forward hadron production in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We discuss the problem of the negativity of the NLO cross-section at high transverse momenta, study its origin in detail and present possible improvements which include the corrected kinematics and the suitable choice of the rapidity cutoff.

Abstract Factorizing the cross section for single hadron production in e+e− annihilations is a highly non trivial task when the transverse momentum of the outgoing hadron with respect to the thrust axis is taken into account. We work in a scheme that allows to factorize the e+e−→ H X cross section as a convolution of a calculable hard coefficient and a Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) fragmentation function. The result, differential in zh, PT and thrust, will be given to all orders in perturbation theory and explicitly computed to Next to Leading Order (NLO) and Next to Leading Log (NLL) accuracy. The predictions obtained from our computation, applying the simplest and most natural ansatz to model the non-perturbative part of the TMD, are in exceptional agreement with the experimental measurements of the BELLE Collaboration. The factorization scheme we propose relates the TMD parton densities defined in 1-hadron and 2-hadron processes, restoring the possi- bility to perform global phenomenological studies of TMD physics including experimental data from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan processes, e+e−→ H1H2X and e+e−→ H X annihilations.

We study the total cross-section of high energy collisions in the one-instanton sector of purely bosonic theories with instantons. We find that in the limit g2 → 0, E/E sph = fixed , the leading behavior of the total cross-section is σ lot ~ exp [1/g2(−2S0 + F(E/E sph ))], where S0 is the instanton action. In the electroweak theory at E/E sph ≪ 1, the function F(E/E sph ) is determined by the gauge boson part of the instanton configuration and its explicit form is found.

Recently several scaling hypotheses were advocated for application to the single spin asymmetry in inclusive hadron production at high energy. We briefly review those hypotheses and confront them with published experimental data. We conclude that the existing data do not allow to make a firm conclusion on any of scaling laws proposed and more precise data with a wide kinematical coverage are required to establish or refute those hypotheses.

High energy differential pd cross section is calculated in the framework of the multiple scattering theory, inelastic correction included. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the calculation uncertainties. The results agree well with the experimental data obtained at ISR energies in the q2 range 0.06–1.05 (GeV/c) 2. The calculation accuracy is proved to be not worse than 10–20% at q2~0.2 (GeV/c) 2 and much better at small q2, namely, ~1% in the optical point. Prediction for the differential cross section at UNK energy E lab =3 TeV is given.

We consider the next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of single inclusive particle production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions and in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). We focus on the quark channel and the corrections associated with the impact factor. In the first step of the evolution the kinematics of the emitted gluon is kept exactly (and not in the eikonal approximation), but such a treatment which includes NLO corrections is not explicitly separated from the high energy evolution. Thus, in this newly established “factorization scheme”, there is no “rapidity subtraction”. The latter suffers from fine tuning issues and eventually leads to an unphysical (negative) cross section. On the contrary, our reorganization of the perturbation theory leads by definition to a well-defined cross section and the numerical evaluation of the NLO correction is shown to have the correct size.

Abstract High-energy neutral and charged Drell-Yan differential cross-section measurements are powerful probes of quark-lepton contact interactions that produce growing-with-energy effects. This paper provides theoretical predictions of the new physics effects at the Next-to-Leading order in QCD and including one-loop EW corrections at the single-logarithm accuracy. The predictions are obtained from SM Monte Carlo simulations through analytic reweighting. This eliminates the need of performing a scan on the new physics parameter space, enabling the global exploration of all the relevant interactions. Furthermore, our strategy produces consistently showered events to be employed for a direct comparison of the new physics predictions with the data, or to validate the unfolding procedure than underlies the cross-section measurements. Two particularly relevant interactions, associated with the W and Y parameters of EW precision tests, are selected for illustration. Projections are presented for the sensitivity of the LHC and of the HL-LHC measurements. The impact on the sensitivity of several sources of uncertainties is quantified.

AbstractWe compute the next-to-leading order virtual corrections to the partonic cross-section of the processgg → ZH, in the high-energy and large-mtlimits. We use Padé approximants to increase the radius of convergence of the high-energy expansion in$$ {m}_t^2/s $$mt2/s,$$ {m}_t^2/t $$mt2/tand$$ {m}_t^2/u $$mt2/uand show that precise results can be obtained down to energies which are fairly close to the top quark pair threshold. We present results both for the form factors and the next-to-leading order virtual cross-section.

For the Accelerator-Driven nuclear transmutation System (ADS), nuclide production yield estimation in a lead-bismuth target is important to manage the target. However, experimental data of nuclide production yield by spallation and high-energy fission reactions are scarce. In order to obtain the experimental data, an experiment in J-PARC using natPb and 209Bi samples were carried out. The samples were thin foils with about 0.1 mm thick and 25 mm × 25 mm square and were irradiated with protons at kinematic energy points of 0.4GeV, 2.2GeV, and 3.0 GeV. After the irradiation, the nuclide production cross section was determined by spectroscopic measurement of decay gamma-rays from the samples with HPGe detectors. In this paper, 14 nuclide production cross sections for lead and bismuth were obtained. They were compared with the calculated cross sections with various models and the evaluated one.

We present recent developments of the parton Reggeization approach (PRA), which is based on high-energy factorization of hard processes in the multi-Regge kinematics and Lipatov’s effective theory of Reggeized gluons and Reggeized quarks. The scheme of calculations in the leading order (LO) of the PRA is discussed. We present important examples of LO PRA applications for cross section calculations of multi-scale hard processes, such as pair production of BB¯-mesons, pair production of photons, and pair production of jets. Also the problem of matching of NLO calculations in PRA with NLO results in the Collinear Parton Model is discussed.

Predictions of fiducial cross sections, differential cross sections, and lepton charge asymmetry are presented for the production ofW±bosons with leptonic decay up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Differential cross sections ofW±bosons andWboson lepton charge asymmetry are computed as a function of lepton pseudorapidity for a defined fiducial region inppcollisions ats=13 TeV. Numerical results of fiducialW±cross section predictions are presented with the latest modern PDF models at next-to-leading order (NLO) and NNLO. It is found that the CT14 and NNPDF 3.0 predictions with NNLO QCD corrections are about 4% higher than the NLO CT14 and NNPDF 3.0 predictions while MMHT 2014 predictions with NLO QCD corrections are smaller than its NNLO QCD predictions by approximately 6%. In addition, the NNLO QCD corrections reduce the scale variation uncertainty on the cross section by a factor of 3.5. The prediction of central values and considered uncertainties are obtained using FEWZ 3.1 program.
