B. Kahle, DESY Hamburg Introduction Beauty measurements Beauty contribution to F2 Summary and Conclusions

2 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle
Motivation Heavy flavour production in DIS is a test of pQCD providing an additional hard scale M to the momentum transfer of the boson Q and pt Beauty contribution to F2 is directly sensitive to the gluon distribution in the proton Beauty production is of increasing interest for higher energies -> LHC HERA LHC, e.g. H / Z 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

3 Beauty contribution to the proton structure function F2
~negligible 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

4 Heavy Flavour production mechanism
Dominant process in ep-collisions: Boson-Gluon-Fusion Kinematic variables: Q2 = -q 2 photon virtuality, squared momentum transfer x = Bjorken scaling variable, for Q2>>(2mQ)2: momentum fraction of p constituent b b Kinematic regime: Deep inelastic scattering (DIS): Q2 > 1GeV2 Multiple scales: mb ~ 5 GeV ptb ~ typically few GeV Q 2 > 1 GeV 2 in DIS ~ different pQCD approaches good testing ground for pQCD 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

5 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle
pQCD approximations Massive scheme: b massive neglects [as ln (Q2/mb2)]n scale mb ,pt b produced perturbatively (not part of the Proton or Photon) Massless scheme: b massless resumes [as ln (Q2/mb2)]n scale: Q2, pt b also in Proton and Photon Variable flavour number scheme (VFNS): massive at small Q2 massless at large Q2 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

6 Beauty identification
Process : ptrel method: ptrel is the momentum of the muon transverse to the axis of the associated jet (including the muon) ptrel spectrum is harder for b than for c statistical separation using MC e p Jet axis m c2 fit of b MC against c+lf MC to the data in ptrel resulting beauty fraction of about 21% scale Rapgap-b MC up by a factor 2.49 ptrel 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

10 Calculation of F2bb = beauty contribution to F2
„Reduced cross section“ is defined as: Cross section calculated using hvqdis(CTEQ5F4) for a tiny bin around (x,Q2) Expected to be compatible with calculations by Riemersma et al. used for F2cc Neglecting the small contribution from FL, the reduced cross section is equal to F2: neglected 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

11 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle
F2bb measurement The reduced cross section for data is the reduced cross section of the NLO multiplied by the ratio of data to NLO in a x,Q2 bin: Cross section for NLO using hvqdis with same settings as for (but requiring SL decay to m and jet) H1 uses the impact parameter method to measure F2bb and F2cc with an inclusive charm and beauty sample of 57pb-1: H1 Collab., A. Aktas et al., Eur. Phys. J. C45 (2006) 23-33 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

F2bb at ZEUS and H1 ZEUS data lie above H1 data but compatible within errors. HVQDIS+CTEQ5F4 agrees with similar predictions by H1 ZEUS: 39 pb-1 H1: 57.4 pb-1 Theory predictions except HVQDIS+CTEQ5F4 provided by P.D.Thompson, hep-ph/ ZEUS data point at Q2=200GeV2; x=0.13 is shifted to lower x value to be separated from the H1 point 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

F2bb vs. Q2 Same ZEUS data. Some points are recalculated for other values of x to be comparable with H1 data and theory curves. ZEUS data are derived using HVQDIS+CTEQ5F4 and should strictly compared only with this curve. For comparison with other curves, model dependencies have to be taken into account. Some ZEUS data point are shifted to higher Q2 values to be separated from the H1 point 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

F2bb at ZEUS and H1 Same plot as before, but with additional theory curves.

17 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle
Summary and Outlook First measurement of F2bb at ZEUS (39 pb-1), ~10 times more data to come -> much reduced errors Results agree with H1’s using a very different method to obtain F2bb but similar uncertainties (both statistical and systematical) NLO predictions agree with data within large spread. Questions to this meeting: What are the reasons for the large NLO spread? Does this affect the PDF extraction from inclusive F2? 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle

NLO calculations The calculation of the NLO QCD visible cross section predictions proceeds in three steps: HVQDIS (B.Harris, J.Smith, hep-ph/ ): *gbb, *gbbg, *qbbq, etc. (pointlike only) using CTEQ5F4 (FFNS) PDF Fragmentation of the b-quark into a B-meson (Peterson function with =0.0035) Semileptonic decay of the B-meson (Muon momentum spectrum extracted from RAPGAP, including primary and secondary muons) 13th March 2007 HERA and the LHC - F2bb at ZEUS - Benjamin Kahle
