Gluons and QCD!
QCD
4Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Non-abelian gauge theory with SU(3) symmetry, describes the interaction between coloured particles (quarks and gluons).
The Feynman rules can be derived from the QCD Lagrangian
Covariant derivative: Dµ = !µ ! igsTaGaµ
Field strength tensor for spin-1 gluons:

qj(i!µDµ !mj)qj + Lgauge + Lghost
Very similar to the QED Lagrangian, except for the additional summation over a, which are the 8 colour degree of freedoms (SU(3) instead of U(1))
Non-abelian term, different from QED. Leads to gluon self-interaction.

Singularities in QCD
6Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Divergencies appear when constructing the first-order corrections to the quark-gluon interaction
leading order vacuum polarisationgraphs
vertex-correction and self energies
Known from QED: redefinition of fields and masses will remove the vertex-correction and self energy divergencies (to all orders)
Integrals are infinite, due to unconstraint loop momenta:ultra-violet (UV) divergencies
finite (?)
Renormalisation
7Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Ultra-violet (UV) divergencies can be interpreted as virtual fluctuations on very small time scales (high energies)
Renormalisation: absorb virtual fluctuations in the definition of the bare coupling, this introduces a new scale parameter μR
μR has the dimension of energy (mass) and defines the point where the subtraction is performed (ultraviolet cut-off scheme)
energy (1/time)
More often used but less intuitive: dimensional regularisation, perform integration in 4-2ε dimensions
Renormalisation Group Equation
8Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
The dimensional parameter μR is arbitrary - no general observable Γ(pi, αs) should depend on it. (strong coupling: )
Require:
!s = g2s/4"
!µR
!
!µR+ µR
!"s
!µR
!
!"s+ #!("s)
"!(pi,"s) = 0
⇒ a change in μR has to be compensated by a change in αs
Renormalisation Group Equation (RGE)
Running coupling: αs = αs (μR)
!("s) = µR#"s
#µRThe quantity is known as the QCD beta-function
which can be computed.
QCD cannot predict the absolute value of αs (μR), but its scale dependence.

The scale dependence αs (μR) of is one of the best known quantities in QCD
Good convergence (expansion parameter as ≈ 0.01)
No visible difference between 3-loop and 4-loop solution
⇒ Possibility for stringent tests of QCD!
Asymptotically free for μR → ∞
4-loop
Another Challenge
12Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
The small values of αs (μR) at large scales allows the application of perturbation theory
But as μR → 0, αs (μR) becomes large and higher order corrections become increasingly important ⇒ diagram techniques fail for bound states in QCD
How can we calculate anything with hadrons in the initial / final state involved?

Parton Evolution

Drawing from A. Pich, arXiv:hep-ph/9505231 (1995)
Intuitive picture: the number of partons changes with scale μF = Q2
The virtual photon as probe with resolving power Q2 ~ 1 / λ
many partons with large x we ‘see’ parton radiation, branchings
⇒ many partons with small x
Scaling Violations
15Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Large x Small x
With increasing Q2, the valence quarks radiate more and more gluons, so the studied x decreases
F2 decreases with increasing Q2
Gluons split into sea quarks, which can be resolved with increasing Q2, more quarks become visible
F2 increases with increasing Q2
DGLAP Equations

It is possible to calculate the evolution of partons in QCD: DGLAP equations (Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi)

Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs)
23Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Modify the simple QPM picture, where the proton was only made up of two up and one down quark
The up- and down-quark distributions obtain contributions from the valence quarks and the virtual sea quarks
u(x) = uv(x) + us(x) d(x) = dv(x) + ds(x)and
u(x) = us(x)anti-quarks originate only from the sea
d(x) = ds(x)and
The proton consists of two up quarks and one down quark:! 1
0uv(x)dx = 2
! 1
0dv(x)dx = 1and
No a-priori expectation for the number of sea quarks and gluons.
(quark number sum rules)
Constituents Of The Proton
24Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
In general we have 10 quark and anti-quark densities and the gluon:
Distinguish only between up-type and down-type quarks:
U = u (+ c), D = d + s (+b)U = u (+ c), D = d + s (+b)
Then the valence quark distributions are
uv = U − U, dv = D − D
u, u, d, d, s, s, c, c, (b, b) , g
The total sea distribution is often expressed as
S = 2(U + D)

i
(qi(x) + qi(x)) + g(x)$xdx = 1
and the momentum sum rule has to be fulfilled
From F2 To PDFs
25Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
QCD (DGLAP) predicts scale dependence of quark and gluon densities
x-dependence can not be calculated in perturbative QCD (reminder: renormalisation of the bare quark and gluon densities - soft, long-range effects are absorbed in the PDF)
› Parametrise qi(x), g(x) at a starting scale Q0
› Use DGLAP to evolve F2 to a higher scale ( and calculate σr(x,Q2) )› Determine the parameters from a fit to data
Need to obtain the x-dependence from experiment!
Note: Q2 has to be smaller than the lowest value of Q2 in the data0
Only limited number of free parameters possible
Use physical constraints for PDFs

Polarisation at HERA
32Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
At the upgrade HERA has been equipped with spin rotators
Transverse polarisation builds up due to synchrotron radiation (Sokolov-Ternov effect)
Spin rotator: flips transverse → longitudinal spin before the experiments and back afterwards
Positive or negative helicity states can be achieved!

The Longitudinal Structure Function FL
35Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
In the QPM we found 2xF1 = F2
The longitudinal structure function FL is defined as FL = F2 ! 2xF1
FL is non-zero in the QCD improved QPM, since partons can have non-negligible PT
FL describes the scattering of longitudinally polarised photons off a proton
FL = 0⇒

Exclusive Measurements
38Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
So far we have only looked at inclusive measurements - we measured the scattered electron and integrated over the final state XLet’s try to be a bit more exclusive and try to measure
e+p → e+ + q + g + X
We will have to consider contributions like
e+ e+

XX
We can not measure these processes since quarks and gluons cannot be observed as free particles: we only see hadrons, leptons, photons...
We can not calculate these processes because of divergent integrals

After the hadronisation and the detector effects it is virtually impossible to reconstruct all particles which originated from a single quark or gluon
The total deposited energy can be well measured
What Can We Calculate?
40Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
Timelike branching:
⇒ Infrared (IR) divergences
ab
c
θ
Gluon splitting on outgoing line b: p2a = EbEc(1! cos !)
Propagator 1/pa diverges when emitted gluon is soft (Eb or Ec → 0) or2
when b and c are collinear (θ → 0)
› Infrared and collinear (IRC) safe observables
Possible solutions:
› Factorisable quantities
◊ total cross sections ◊ event shape variables◊ jets
Jets
41Roman Kogler Physics at HERA
A jet algorithm combines objects (partons, hadrons, detector deposits) which are “close” together
IRC safety: Observables insensitive to soft and/or collinear emissions
Divergences from virtual contributions (loops) cancel with divergent contributions from real emissions - KLN theorem
Different choices for IRC safe jet algorithms exist, with different distance definitions (lectures from T. Schörner and G. Steinbrück)
Jets can be defined on parton, hadron and detector level - one requirement is good correspondence between these levels
= =
Jets help us to understand the underlying parton dynamics!

Jets And PDF Determinations

In PDF fits the gluon is constrained through scaling violations
The gluon is always multiplied by αs, F2 = “q + !sg”
⇒ Strong correlation between gluon and value of αs
Usually one keeps the value of αs fixed in PDF determinations, then the gluon can be well constrained.

In the present work we use the next-to-leading order calculation as implemented in the
program DISENT which includes neither contributions from Z0 exchange nor the QCDmatrix elements for massive quarks. To estimate the size of these e!ects we use the leadingorder calculation as implemented in the program MEPJET and calculate the dijet cross
section for the inclusive k! algorithm with and without these e!ects.
In Fig. 3.7 we show the ratios of these calculations as a function of Q2. The e!ects from
Z0 contributions (shown on the left hand side) reduce the dijet cross section at large Q2. AtQ2 < 2500GeV2 these corrections are, however, below 2%. Integrated over the highest Q2
bin chosen in our analysis (600 < Q2 < 5000GeV2) the e!ect is already negligible.
The e!ects of quark masses in the leading order dijet cross section (shown on the righthand side) are 2.5% at Q2 = 10GeV2 and are decreasing towards higher Q2. At Q2 >
150GeV2 the e!ect is below 1.5%. Massive NLO calculations are not available for jet crosssections, but given the small size of the e!ect we consider it safe to neglect this influence.
Jets can decorrelate the gluon and αs:low Q2:

No jet data With jet data
Uncertainty of gluon PDF becomes large when αs(MZ) is left free in fit
Jet data helps to decorrelate the gluon from αs during the fit

Turn the argument around: how well can we determine αs(MZ) when the gluon is left free?
αs is well constrained in a simultaneous fit
