  1. Thanks to QCD-Hard and QCD-Soft parallel session organisers and speakers! QCD Theory – a status report and review of some developments in the past year James Stirling IPPP, University of Durham

  2. more QCD? … see also QCD @ HERA: Klein QCD @ Tevatron: Lucchesi QCD and hadron spectroscopy: Close, Shan Jin QCD and heavy quarks: Ali, Shipsey QCD on the Lattice: Hashimoto QCD - ICHEP04

  3. an essential and established* part of the toolkit for discovering physics beyond the standard model, e.g. at Tevatron and LHC a Yang-Mills gauge field theory with a very rich structure (asymptotic freedom  confinement), much of which is not yet fully understood in a quantitative way * we no longer “test QCD”! QCD is … QCD - ICHEP04

  4. αS(E) non-perturbative approaches: lattice, Regge theory, skyrmions, large-Nc,… 1 perturbative field theory calculations 0 E for ‘hard’ processes (i.e. suitably inclusive, with at least one large momentum transfer scale), QCD is a precision tool – calculations and phenomenology aiming at the per-cent level for semi-hard, exclusive and soft processes, we need to extend and test calculational techniques experiment and theory working together QCD in 2004 compare tot(pp) andtot(e+e-hadrons) QCD - ICHEP04

  5. world average (MSbar, NNLO) αS(MZ) = 0.1182  0.0027 cf. (2002) 0.1183  0.0027 World Summary of αS(MZ) – July 2004 from S. Bethke, hep-ex/0407021 • New at this conference: • ZEUS DIS + jets pdf fit • HERA jet cross sections and shape variables • JADE 4-jet rate and jet shape moments • LEP 1,2 jet shape observables, 4-jet rate • All NLO and all consistent with world average

  6. jet production W, Z production NNLO QCD NLO QCD examples of ‘precision’ phenomenology … and many other examples presented at this Conference QCD - ICHEP04

  7. LO automated codes for arbitrary matrix element generation (MADGRAPH, COMPHEP, HELAC, …) jet = parton, but ‘easy’ to interface to hadronisation MCs large scale dependence αS()N therefore not good for precision analyses NLO now known for ‘most’ processes of interest dV(N) + dR(N+1) reduced scale dependence (but can still dominate αSmeasurement) jet structure begins to emerge no automation yet, but many ideas now can interface with PS 1 status of pQCD calculations fixed order:d = A αSN [1 + C1αS+ C2αS2 + …. ] thus LO, NLO, NNLO, etc, or resummed to all orders using a leading log approximation, e.g. d = A αSN [1 + (c11L + c10 ) αS+ (c22L2+c21L + c20 ) αS2 + …. ] whereL = log(M/qT), log(1/x), log(1-T), … >> 1thus LL, NLL, NNLL, etc. current frontier QCD - ICHEP04

  8. interfacing NnLO and parton showers new + Benefits of both: NnLOcorrect overall rate, hard scattering kinematics, reduced scale dep. PScomplete event picture, correct treatment of collinear logs to all orders Example: MC@NLO Frixione, Webber, Nason, www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/theory/webber/MCatNLO/ processes included so far … pp  WW,WZ,ZZ,bb,tt,H0,W,Z/ pT distribution of tt at Tevatron

  9. not all NLO corrections are known! t b t b the more external coloured particles, the more difficult the NLO pQCD calculation Example: pp →ttbb + X bkgd. to ttH the leading order O(αS4) cross section has a large renormalisation scale dependence! QCD - ICHEP04

  10. Too many calculations, too few people! John Campbell, Collider Physics Workshop, KITP, January 2004 QCD - ICHEP04

  11. Glover 2 NNLO: the perturbative frontier Example: jet cross section at hadron colliders • The NNLO coefficient C is not yet known, the curves show guessesC=0 (solid), C=±B2/A (dashed) → the scale dependence and hence  σthis significantly reduced • Other advantages of NNLO: • better matching of partons hadrons • reduced power corrections • better description of final state kinematics (e.g. transverse momentum) (also e+e- 3 jets) Tevatron jet inclusive cross section at ET = 100 GeV QCD - ICHEP04

  12. soft, collinear anatomy of a NNLO calculation: p + p  jet + X • 2 loop, 2 parton final state • | 1 loop |2, 2 parton final state • 1 loop, 3 parton final states • or 2 +1 final state • tree, 4 parton final states • or 3 + 1 parton final states • or 2 + 2 parton final state the collinear and soft singularities exactly cancel between the N +1 and N + 1-loop contributions

  13. rapid progress in last two years [many authors] • many 2→2 scattering processes with up to one off-shell leg now calculated at two loops • … to be combined with the tree-level 2→4, the one-loop 2→3 and the self-interference of the one-loop 2→2 to yield physical NNLO cross sections • the key is to identify and calculate the ‘subtraction terms’ which add and subtract to render the loop (analytically) and real emission (numerically) contributions finite • this is still some way away but lots of ideas so expect progress soon! QCD - ICHEP04

  14. summary of NNLO calculations (~1990 ) ep • DIS pol. and unpol. structure function coefficient functions • Sum Rules (GLS, Bj, …) • DGLAP splitting functions Moch Vermaseren Vogt (2004) • total hadronic cross section, and Z  hadrons,    + hadrons • heavy quark pair production near threshold • CF3part of (3 jet) Gehrmann-De Ridder, Gehrmann, Glover(2004) • inclusive W,Z,*van Neerven et al, Harlander and Kilgorecorrected(2002) • inclusive * polarised Ravindran, Smith, Van Neerven(2003) • W,Z,*differential rapidity disnAnastasiou, Dixon, Melnikov, Petriello (2003) • H0, A0Harlander and Kilgore; Anastasiou and Melnikov; Ravindran, Smith, Van Neerven(2002-3) • WH, ZHBrein, Djouadi,Harlander (2003) • QQ onium and Qq meson decay rates e+e- pp HQ + other partial/approximate results (e.g. soft, collinear) and NNLL improvements QCD - ICHEP04

  15. 1972-77 1977-80 2004 new >1991 Note: need to know splitting and coefficient functions to the same perturbative order to ensure that (n)/logF = O(αS(n+1)) The calculation of the complete set of P(2) splitting functions completes the calculational tools for a consistent NNLO pQCD treatment of Tevatron & LHC hard-scattering cross sections! QCD - ICHEP04

  16. b a Full 3-loop (NNLO) DGLAP splitting functions! Pba = previous estimates based on known moments and leading behaviours Moch, Vermaseren and Vogt, hep-ph/0403192, hep-ph/0404111 Moch QCD - ICHEP04

  18. 4% total error (MRST 2002) NNLO phenomenology already under way… • σ(W) and σ(Z) : precision predictions and measurements at the Tevatron and LHC • the pQCD series appears to be under control • with sufficient theoretical precision, these ‘standard candle’ processes could be used to measure the machine luminosity

  19. Kulesza Sterman Vogelsang qT (GeV) Bozzi Catani de Florian Grazzini 3 resummation Z Work continues to refine the predictions for ‘Sudakov’ processes, e.g. for the Higgs or Z transverse momentum distribution, where resummation of large logarithms of the form n,m αSn log(M2/qT2)m is necessary at small qT, to be matched with fixed-order QCD at large qT (also: event shapes, heavy quark prodn.) De Florian Marchesini QCD - ICHEP04

  20. g H t g g threshold logs logN(1-M2/sgg) H g resummation contd. - HO corrections to (Higgs) • the HO pQCD corrections to (gg→H) are large (more diagrams, more colour) • can improve NNLO precision slightly by resumming additional soft/collinear higher-order logarithms • example: σ(MH=120 GeV) @ LHC σpdf  ±3% σptNNL0  ± 10%, σptNNLL  ± 8%  σtheory  ± 9% Catani et al, hep-ph/0306211 QCD - ICHEP04

  21. 4 dawn of a new calculational era? • (numerical) calculation of QCD tree-level scattering amplitudes can be automated … but method is “brute force”, and multiparton complexity soon saturates computer capability • no automation in sight for loop amplitudes • analytic expressions are very lengthy (recall P(2)) • a recent paper by Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten may be the long-awaited breakthrough … Bern QCD - ICHEP04

  23. the Parke-Taylor amplitude mystery • consider a n-gluon scattering amplitude with  helicity labels • Parke and Taylor (PRL 56 (1986) 2459): “this result is an educated guess” “we do not expect such a simple expression for the other helicity amplitudes” “we challenge the string theorists to prove more rigorously that [it] is correct” • Witten, December 2003 (hep-th/0312171) “Perturbative gauge theory as a string theory in twistor space” r s Maximum Helicity Violating = (colour factors suppressed) true!

  24. Cachazo, Svrcek, Witten (CSW) April 2004, hep-th/0403047 • elevate MHV scattering amplitudes to effective vertices in a new scalar graph approach • and use them with scalar propagators to calculate • tree-level non-MHV amplitudes • with both quarks and gluons • … and loop diagrams! • dramatic simplification: compact output in terms of familiar spinor products • phenomenology? multijet cross sections at LHC etc Georgiou, Khoze; Zhu; Wu, Zhu; Bena, Bern, Kosower; Georgiou, Khoze, Glover; Kosower; Brandhuber, Spence, Travaglini; Bern, del Duca, Dixon, Kosower; … QCD - ICHEP04

Royon et al S/B QCD challenge: to refine and test calculations & elevate to precision predictions! mass resolution Gallinaro Royon QCD - ICHEP04

  28. summary QCD theory – major advances in the past year, with promise of more to come… • pQCD calculations at the NNLO/NNLL frontier (e.g. jet cross sections in pp, e+e-), but many NLO “background” calculations still missing • CSW: a new approach still in its infancy (4 months!), but with major potential • away from “hard inclusive”, there are many calculational challenges (semi-hard, power corrections, exclusive, diffractive, …) – close collaboration with experiment is essential QCD - ICHEP04
