We present a next-to-leading order (NLO) relativistic correction to [Formula: see text] tensor form factors within nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). We also consider complete Dirac bilinears [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] matrices [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] transition. The relation among different current form factors is given and it shows that symmetries emerge in the heavy bottom quark limit. For a phenomenological extension, we propose to extract the long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) for [Formula: see text] meson from the recent HPQCD lattice data and the NLO form factors at large momentum recoil.

Gluon Fragmentation

Abstract The next-to-leading order (NLO) ($$ \mathcal{O} $$ O ($$ {\alpha}_s^3 $$ α s 3 )) corrections for gluon fragmentation functions to a heavy quark-antiquark pair in 3$$ {P}_J^{\left[1,8\right]} $$ P J 1 8 states are calculated within the NRQCD factorization. We use the integration-by-parts reduction and differential equations to semi-analytically calculate the fragmentation functions in full-QCD, and find that infrared divergences can be absorbed by the NRQCD long distance matrix elements. Thus, the NRQCD factorization conjecture is verified at two-loop level via a physical process, which is free of artificial ultraviolet divergences. Through the matching procedure, infrared-safe short distance coefficients and $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O ($$ {\alpha}_s^2 $$ α s 2 ) perturbative NRQCD matrix elements ⟨$$ {\mathcal{O}}^3{P}_J^{\left[1,8\right]} $$ O 3 P J 1 8 (3$$ {S}_1^{\left[8\right]} $$ S 1 8 )⟩ are obtained simultaneously. The NLO short distance coefficients are found to have significant corrections comparing with the LO ones.

I review the parametrisation of the full set of Λb→Λ*(1520) form factors in the framework of Heavy Quark Expansion, including next-to-leading-order O(αs) and, for the first time, next-to-leading-power O(1/mb) corrections. The unknown hadronic parameters are obtained by performing a fit to recent lattice QCD calculations. I investigate the compatibility of the Heavy Quark Expansion and the current lattice data, finding tension between these two approaches in the case of tensor and pseudo-tensor form factors, whose origin could come from an underestimation of the current lattice QCD uncertainties and higher order terms in the Heavy Quark Expansion.

AbstractPrompt double-$$J/\psi $$J/ψ production at high-energy hadron colliders can be considered as a golden channel to probe double parton scatterings (DPS)—in particular to study gluon–gluon correlations inside the proton—and, at the same time, to measure the distribution of linearly-polarised gluons inside the proton. Such studies, however, require a good control of both single parton scatterings (SPS) and DPS in the respective regions where they are carried out. In this context, we have critically examined two mechanisms of SPS that may be kinematically enhanced where DPS are thought to be dominant, even though they are either at higher orders in the strong-coupling or velocity expansion. First, we have considered a gauge-invariant and infrared-safe subset of the loop-induced contribution via colour-singlet (CS) transitions. We have found it to become the leading CS SPS contributions at large rapidity separation, yet too small to account for the data without invoking the presence of DPS yields. Second, we have surveyed the possible colour-octet (CO) contributions using both old and up-to-date non-perturbative long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs). We have found that the pure CO yields crucially depend on the LDMEs. Among all the LDMEs we used, only two result into a visible modification of the NRQCD (CS+CO) yield, but only in two kinematical distributions measured by ATLAS, those of the rapidity separation and of the pair invariant mass. These modifications, however, do not impact the control region used for their DPS study.

Gravitational form factors are the matrix elements of the Belinfante energy momentum tensor (EMT) which naturally incorporate the hadron structure and the equivalence principle. The relocalization property allowing to transform EMT to the Belinfante form provides the “kinematical” counterpart of the famous [Formula: see text] problem. The equivalence principle may be approximately valid for quarks and gluons separately in non-perturbative (NP)QCD, and this conjecture is supported by the experimental and lattice data. The extra-dimensional gravity leading to holographic AdS/QCD is supporting the relation of quark transverse momentum to the Regge slope, discovered by V.N. Gribov.

The hierarchy of long-distance matrix elements (MEs) for quarkonium production depends on their scaling with the velocity v of the heavy quark in the bound state. Ranges for the velocities in various bound states and uncertainties of colour-singlet MEs are estimated in a quark-potential model. Different possibilities for the scaling with v of the MEs are discussed; they depend on the actual values of v and the QCD scale. As an application, J/ψ polarization in e+e- annihilation is discussed. The first non-perturbative estimates of colour-octet MEs are presented and compared with phenomenological determinations. Finally, various predictions of prompt quarkonium production at LEP are compared.

Abstract We develop a formalism for computing inclusive production cross sections of heavy quarkonia based on the nonrelativistic QCD and the potential nonrelativistic QCD effective field theories. Our formalism applies to strongly coupled quarkonia, which include excited charmonium and bottomonium states. Analogously to heavy quarkonium decay processes, we express nonrelativistic QCD long-distance matrix elements in terms of quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin and universal gluonic correlators. Our expressions for the long-distance matrix elements are valid up to corrections of order $$ 1/{N}_c^2 $$ 1 / N c 2 . These expressions enhance the predictive power of the nonrelativistic effective field theory approach to inclusive production processes by reducing the number of nonperturbative unknowns, and make possible first-principle determinations of long-distance matrix elements once the gluonic correlators are known. Based on this formalism, we compute the production cross sections of P-wave charmonia and bottomonia at the LHC, and find good agreement with measurements.

Abstract The prompt $$J/\psi $$J/ψ photoproduction within the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) framework at the future Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is studied, including the contributions from both direct and resolved photons. Employing different sets of long distance matrix elements, the total cross section is dominated by the color-octet channel. We present different kinematic distributions of $$J/\psi $$J/ψ production and the results show there will be about 50 $$J/\psi $$J/ψ events when the transverse momentum of $$J/\psi $$J/ψ is up to 20 GeV. It renders that the $$J/\psi $$J/ψ photoprodution at the CEPC is a well laboratory to test the NRQCD and further clarify the universality problem in NRQCD between electron positron collider and hadron collider.

We report on recent progress in testing the factorization formalism of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) at next-to-leading order (NLO) for J/ψ yield and polarization. We demonstrate that it is possible to unambiguously determine the leading color-octet (CO) long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) in compliance with the velocity scaling rules through a global fit to experimental data of unpolarized J/ψ production in pp, [Formula: see text], ep, γγ, and e+e-collisions. Three data sets not included in the fit, from hadro-production and from photo-production in the fixed-target and colliding-beam modes, are nicely reproduced. The polarization observables measured in different frames at DESY HERA and CERN LHC reasonably agree with NLO NRQCD predictions obtained using the LDMEs extracted from the global fit, while measurements at the FNAL Tevatron exhibit severe disagreement. We demonstrate that the alternative LDME sets recently obtained, with different philosophies, in two other NLO NRQCD analyses of J/ψ yield and polarization also fail to reconcile the Tevatron polarization data with the other available world data.

Abstract The on-shell matrix elements, or couplings $$ {g}_{H{H}^{\ast}\left({H}_1\right)\upgamma} $$ g H H ∗ H 1 γ , describing the $$ B{(D)}_q^{\ast } $$ B D q ∗ → B(D)qγ and B1q → Bqγ (q = u, d, s) radiative decays, are determined from light-cone sum rules at next-to-leading order for the first time. Two different interpolating operators are used for the vector meson, providing additional robustness to our results. For the D*-meson, where some rates are experimentally known, agreement is found. The couplings are of additional interest as they govern the lowest pole residue in the B(D) → γ form factors which in turn are connected to QED-corrections in leptonic decays B(D) → ℓ$$ \overline{\nu} $$ ν ¯ . Since the couplings and residues are related by the decay constants $$ {f}_{H^{\ast}\left({H}_1\right)} $$ f H ∗ H 1 and $$ {f}_{H^{\ast}\left({H}_1\right)}^T $$ f H ∗ H 1 T , we determine them at next-leading order as a by-product. The quantities $$ \left\{{f}_{H^{\ast}}^T,{f}_{H_1}^T\right\} $$ f H ∗ T f H 1 T have not previously been subjected to a QCD sum rule determination. All results are compared with the existing experimental and theoretical literature.
