Only valence quark distributions are used at a low evolution scale and are evolved with the modified Dokshitzer- Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi equation which is briefly introduced in this work, and the sea quark and gluon distributions are only generated by the quantum chromodynamics processes. We find that the patton distributions can explain the pion-nucleon experiments data well, and it can also be compared with the data from the leading neutron data of experiments at HERA. The momentum distributions among the partons are discussed and our results are consistent with some models.展开更多

The calculated multiplicity and pseudorapidity distribution of the final state charged hadrons are well compared with the experimental data. It is found that the final state charged hadron pseudorapidity distribution is different from the initial state charged partons. The parton rescattering effect on the charged hadron forward-backward multiplicity correlation increases with the increasing parton rescattering strength in the center pseudorapidity region (|η| 〈 1). However, this effect becomes weaker in the outer pseudorapidity region (|η| 〉 1).展开更多

We show that these data lead to a significant change in the gluon and charm quark distributions. We demonstrate also that there is an inconsistency between the new high precision HERA I+II combined data and Tevatron measurement. Moreover, in this study we investigate the impact of older EMC measurements of charm structure function F_c^2 on the PDFs and compare the results with those from the analysis of Tevatron data. We show that both of them have the same impact on the PDFs, and thus can be recognized as the same evidence for the inefficiency of perturbative QCD in dealing with charm production in some kinematic regions.展开更多

The estimates are based on the theoretical perturbative QCD predictions for the productions of γγ at next-to-next-to-leading-order, jet+jet and γ+jet at next-to-leading-order, for their corresponding single-scattering cross sections. The cross sections and expected event rates for γγ+2 jets from double parton scattering, after typical acceptance and selections, are given for proton-proton collisions with the collision energy s=13 TeV and integrated luminosity of 100 fb-1 planned for the following years, and also s=14 TeV with 3000 fb 1 of integrated luminosity as the LHC design.展开更多

文摘The valence-quark distribution function of the pion has been of interest for decades;particularly,the profile it should adopt when x→1(the large-x behavior)has been the subject of a long-standing debate.In the light-front holographic QCD(LFHQCD)approach,this behavior is controlled by the so-called reparametrization function,wτ(x),which is not fully determined from first principles.We show that,owing to the flexibility of wτ(x),the large-x profile u^π(x)∼(1−x)^2 can be contained within the LFHQCD formalism.This is in contrast to a previous LFHQCD study(Guy F.de Teramond et al.,Phys.Rev.Lett.,120(18),2018)in which u^π(x)∼(1−x)^1 was found instead.Given our observations,augmented by perturbative QCD and recent lattice QCD results,we state that the large-x exponent of“2”cannot be excluded.
