  1. Deep Scattering of Hadrons Hadro-production from e+e- Proton form-factor e--p scattering Parton Model and scaling Quark distributions These notes are not original, and rely heavily on information and examples in the texts “Introduction to Particle Physics” by David Griffiths, “Introduction to High Energy Physics” by Donald H. Perkins and “Quarks and Leptons” by A. Martin and Halzen. Much of the content of these slides is acknowledged to come from “Introduction to Elementary Particles” By David Griffiths, Wiley, 1987

  2. Hadron Production from e+e- Annihilation Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  3. _ e+e-qq Time Time _ e+e-qqg Hadron Production from e+e- Annihilation • When electrons interact with hadrons, lowest order interaction is: • The e/m process is followed by “hadronization” in which gluons tear apart to make quark-antiquark pairs that form hadrons. • Sometimes we see quark or gluon “jets” Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  4. Cross-Section for e-e+ qq • The amplitude is • So • This leads to the cross-section s ´ q2=(p1+p2)2 Quark charge (+2/3,-1/3) p1 p3 q Time p2 p4 Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  5. “R” = s (e-e+ Hadrons) / s (e-e+m-m+) • Likewise, the cross-section for m-pair production is: since |Qm|=1 • Therefore Sum over Q flavours Each quark Has 3 colours Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  6. “R” = s (e-e+ Hadrons) / s (e-e+m-m+) Predict: u+d+s: 3 [(2/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2] = 2 u+d+s+c: 3 [(2/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2 + (2/3) 2] = 10/3 u+d+s+c+b: 3 [(2/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2 + (2/3) 2 + (-1/3) 2] = 11/3 Recent data fromBaBar Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  7. More on R • Many additional features are apparent in R • Resonances (near each threshold, in particular) • A large effect is seen from t-t+ threshold • QCD corrections become important at ECMS~LQCD • Big effect as we approach the Z0 mass at high end of plot Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  8. Angular Distribution for s (e-e+m-m+) • In relativistic limit, incoming e- are LH and e+ are RH • Exchanged photon must be transverse (E and B ? k and has equal components of Jz = +1 and Jz = -1). • Parity conservation favours neither Jz, so this leads to  Events expected to have symmetric cos  distribution + RH LH  e + e - LH RH  - Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  9. Time Angular Distribution for s(e-e+ -+) • The Z0 amplitude is weak and violates parity, thus populating the two DJz states differently. Interference leads to asymmetry in cos  • Two kinds of exchange are allowed and interfere p1 p3 - p1 p3 -  Z0 + + + p2 p4 p2 p4 s/ 1/s Z0 has mass mZ=m0+ i GZ Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  10. “Elastic e--p Scattering and Proton Form Factor Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  11. q q Time Elastic e--p Scattering • e--p scattering is like e-m scattering if p is point-like • For e-m scattering we obtained: e - e - e - e - p form-factor m m p p e- mass Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  12. q q Time Proton Form-Factor • e - ’s (or  ’s) can be used to “probe” inside the proton • As a (virtual)  does the probing, we anticipate both electric and a magnetic form-factors, GE(q2) and GM(q2) • Factorizing the two vertices: e - e - e - e - p form-factor m m p p Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  13. Proton Form-Factor • K must be a symmetric, rank 2 tensor, as is L • It is formed from p = p2 and q = p4 - p2 = p3 – p1 • It can be shown (homework) that this must be written as • leading to Anti-symmetric Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  14. Proton Form-Factor • First we note that qmL= 0 : • Using q = p1 – p3 : (since p12 = p32 = m2c2). • This implies, that qmK= 0 also … (though not obvious). Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  15. Proton Form-Factor • Evaluating qmK: • If this is zero for any p or q, then Using p¢q = -q2 / 2 we obtain: Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  16. Proton Form-Factor • Therefore we write K as: • Now evaluate • So that Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  17. Proton Form-Factor • Evaluate the cross-section in the lab frame where and we neglect m (<< M) to obtain (more homework!) – the “Rosenbluth formula”: • Simplest model (point-like proton)  Mott scattering: K1 = -q2 ; K2 = 4M2c2 GM(q 2) GE(q 2) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  18. Proton Form-Factor • Next simplest form that works to larger q2 is “MV”~ 0.9 GeV/c2 Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  19. Proton Form-Factor • Best data so far – from e+e- p p atBaBar Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  20. Proton Form-Factor • BaBar was, for first time, able to distinguish GE from GM Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  21. “Inclusive” (Inelastic) e--p Scattering Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  22. q “Inclusive” (Inelastic) e--p Scattering • For elastic scattering, q2 depends on E and : where we neglect m (<< M) • A better probe is to use all inelastic channels: • Typically, record only p1 and p3 (e- in and e- out) electron lab. energies E1 =E and E3 = E0 respectively. p3 p1 E’ e - e - E p form-factor p2 =p p X (p4, …pn) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  23. q q Time Elastic Scattering Inelastic Scattering • E’determined by E and • Invariant mass MX = Mp • Only one invariant q q2 = 2MX(E`-E) p¢ q = -q2/2 • E’notdetermined by E and alone, but E’´ E’ (E, , MX) • MXis a free variable = Mp • Two invariants: q q2 = 2MX(E`-E) - Mp2 + Mx2 Bjorken x (=1 for elastic case) E’ e - e - E’ E E e - e - E, p E’, p’ p X (p4, …pn) Mp Mp Mp p p MX Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  24. q Time “Infinite Momentum System” (IMS) • Proton momentum is very large: • Neglect M (proton), m (electron) and mi (“parton”) • Neglect transverse momentum components of partons • All partons of type i carry momentum xi P • Important kinematic quantities: • Collision of parton with photon: p3 p1 E E 0 P P W = MX Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  25. “Inclusive” (Inelastic) e--p Scattering • We can compute the cross-section, as before, but more complicated as we integrate over all X phase space: for mass-less e -,in proton rest frame, where: • Integration leads to All possible X ’s Not determined by E and  Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  26. “Inclusive” (Inelastic) e--p Scattering • Proceed as before (replace K’s by W’s): • As X has continuous mass distribution, the W ’s depend on two (not one) invariants: Chooseq2andx = - 0.5 q2/ p¢ q • Compare with elastic scattering (where x = 1): To get Rosenbluth formula, we need: In-elastic structure functions W1,2´W 1,2(q2, x) “Bjorken x” Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  27. Bjorken Scaling • Bjorken predicted that q2 dependence of W’s would vanish at high energy (IMS). Define: • This prediction was based on the idea that, as q2 increases, the virtual photon penetrates deeper into the proton to reveal individual “partons” (i.e. quarks). • At this level, then, the scattering becomes g-q scattering and the q2-dependence vanishes. Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  28. Bjorken Scaling • Callen and Gross computed what is expected for g-q scattering and predicted that F1(x) and F2(x) were related • for spin ½ partons [ “ “ 0 “ ] • Both these relationships are seen to be obeyed in the data • Are predicted if “partons” of spin ½ exist • Feynman (1969) concludes that partons ARE quarks Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  29. Bjorken Scaling & Callen-Gross Relation nW2 (¼ F2) vs. q2 at x = 0.25 (Friedman & Kendall, 1972) For perfect “scaling” there is no q2-dependence. 2xW1/F2vs. q2 /(2Mn) For spin ½ partons, this is equal to 1.0. (For spin 0 it is = 0) 1.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 2xF1/F2 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 n W2 0 2 4 6 8 0 0.5 1.0 q2 (GeV/c2) 2 x = q2/(2Mn) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  30. Quark Distribution Functions • The “parton model” views the proton (and all hadrons) as made up from Dirac (point-like) quarks and by gluons. • Each quark or gluon has a distribution of momentum p = x P (P is momentum of parent hadron) inside the hadron given by a distribution function f(x) with • The probability that the momentum of the quark (or gluon) lies between x and x+dx is f(x)dx . Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  31. The Parton Model • The physical reason for the Bjorken relations arise from the picture that exchanged photons scatter from individual, point-like quarks with charges Qi so that • If a proton is made only of 2u and 1d“valence quarks” then: with Analogous to Rosenbluth scattering Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  32. The Parton Model • In practice, quarks interact through gluons, and q-q pairs are sometimes made so we also expect a “sea” of all other quark and anti-quark types. • Anticipating that all “sea” quarks have same distributions • So with terms for c, b and t quarks that are small due to their large masses (small propagators).
