Massive neutral gauge boson production as a probe of nuclear modifications of parton distributions at the LHC

Vadim Guzey, Marco Guzzi, Pavel M. Nadolsky +2

We analyze the role of nuclear modifications of parton distributions, notably, the nuclear shadowing and antishadowing corrections, in production of lepton pairs from decays of neu…

CSS Equation, etc, Follow from Structure of TMD Factorization

John Collins

I show that the forms of the Collins-Soper-Sterman and renormalization-group equations for the evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton densities in QCD follow from…

EPS09s and EKS98s: Impact parameter dependent nPDF sets

Ilkka Helenius, Kari J. Eskola, Heli Honkanen +1

In our recent study we have determined two new spatially dependent nuclear PDF (nPDF) sets, EPS09s and EKS98s. With these, the hard-process cross-sections can be calculated in diff…

Equality of Two Definitions for Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions

John C. Collins, Ted C. Rogers

We compare recent, seemingly different, approaches to TMD-factorization (due to Echevarria, Idilbi, and Scimemi and to Collins), and show that they are the same, apart from an appa…

Extracting the impact parameter dependence of the nPDFs from the EKS98 and EPS09 global fits

Ilkka Helenius, Kari J. Eskola, Heli Honkanen +1

As all the globally fitted nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) have been so far impact parameter independent, it has not been possible to calculate the hard process cross sections in different ce…

Sudakov Resummation in Small-x Saturation Formalism

A. H. Mueller, Bo-Wen Xiao, Feng Yuan

Through an explicit calculation of massive scalar particle (e.g., Higgs boson) production in high energy pA collisions up to one-loop order, we demonstrate that the Sudakov-type lo…

Intrinsic transverse momentum and parton correlations from dynamical chiral symmetry breaking

P. Schweitzer, M. Strikman, C. Weiss

The dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD is caused by nonperturbative interactions on a scale rho ~ 0.3 fm, much smaller than the hadronic size R ~ 1 fm. These short-distan…

Hard four-jet production in pA collisions

Boris Blok, Mark Strikman, Urs Achim Wiedemann

In a suitably chosen back-to-back kinematics, four-jet production in hadronic collisions is known to be dominated by contributions from two independent partonic scattering processe…

Universality of multi-particle production in QCD at high energies

Fabio Dominguez, Cyrille Marquet, Anna M. Stasto +1

By studying the color structure of multi-particle production processes in p+A-type (dilute-dense) collisions, we find that higher-point functions beyond typical dipoles and quadrup…

Single transverse spin asymmetry of prompt photon production

Leonard Gamberg, Zhong-Bo Kang

We study the single transverse spin asymmetry of prompt photon production in high energy proton-proton scattering. We include the contributions from both the direct and fragmentati…

Impact-parameter dependent nuclear parton distribution functions: EPS09s and EKS98s and their applications in nuclear hard processes

Ilkka Helenius, Kari J. Eskola, Heli Honkanen +1

We determine the spatial (impact parameter) dependence of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) using the -dependence of the spatially independent (averaged) global fits…

Exclusive vector meson production and small-x evolution

Jeffrey Berger, Anna M. Stasto

The process of exclusive elastic vector meson production in deep inelastic scattering is investigated within the dipole model framework supplemented by the small evolution. The…

Drell-Yan Lepton-Pair-Jet Correlation in pA collisions

Anna Staśto, Bo-Wen Xiao, David Zaslavsky

In this paper, we numerically study the forward correlations between the lepton-pair and associated hadrons in Drell-Yan process in pA collisions. Using the present knowledge of th…

Inclusive Hadron Productions in pA Collisions

Giovanni A. Chirilli, Bo-Wen Xiao, Feng Yuan

We calculate inclusive hadron productions in pA collisions in the small-x saturation formalism at one-loop order. The differential cross section is written into a factorization for…

QCD and QED dynamics of the EMC effect

Leonid Frankfurt, Mark Strikman

Applying exact QCD sum rules for the baryon charge and energy-momentum we demonstrate that if nucleons are the only degrees of freedom of nuclear wave function, the structure funct…
