We report on the results of a theoretical study of the central exclusive production of scalar χ c(0 +) meson via χ c0→π +π - decay in high-energy hadron collisions at the RHIC, Tevatron and LHC. The corresponding amplitude for exclusive double-diffractive χ c0 meson production was obtained within the k t-factorization approach including virtualities of active gluons and the cross section is calcul
We present a QCD-based model where rescattering between final state partons in deep inelastic scattering leads to events with large rapidity gaps and a leading proton. In the framework of this model the amplitude for multiple gluon exchanges is calculated in the eikonal approximation to all orders in perturbation theory. Both large and small invariant mass MX limits are considered. The model succe
We calculate cross-section of the near-threshold three-boson production at the ILC with an account of their instability and a principal part of NLO corrections. The calculations are fulfilled within the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass. We show that the contribution of finite width (instability) is large in the resonance Higgs-mass range and should be taken into accou
We discuss exclusive double diffractive (EDD) production of heavy quark - heavy antiquark pairs at high energies. Differential distributions for cc̄ at √s = 1.96 GeV and for bb̄ at √s = 14 TeV are shown and discussed. Irreducible leading-order bb̄ background to Higgs production is calculated in several kinematical variables. The signal-to-background ratio is shown and several improvements are sugg
We calculate differential cross sections for exclusive double diffractive (EDD) production of open charm in proton-proton and proton-antiproton collisions. Sizeable cross sections are found. The EDD contribution constitutes about 1% of the total inclusive cross section for open charm production. A few differential distributions are shown and discussed. The EDD contribution falls faster both with t
We construct a QCD-based model where soft gluon rescattering between final state partons in deep inelastic scattering leads to events with large rapidity gaps and a leading proton. The model successfully describes the precise HERA data on the diffractive deep inelastic structure function in the whole available kinematical range.
We calculated the cross section for the exclusive double-diffractive bb̄ production in pp→p(bb̄)p reaction at LHC. Large cross sections are obtained (3-10nb). This process constitutes the irreducible background to the exclusive Higgs production and is of particular importance in the upcoming Higgs boson searches. The distribution in invariant mass of the bb̄ pair is calculated and compared with th
We discuss central exclusive production (CEP) of the tensor χc(2 +) meson in proton-(anti)proton collisions at Tevatron, RHIC, and LHC energies. The amplitude for the process is derived within the kt-factorization approach. Differential and total cross sections are calculated for several unintegrated gluon distribution functions (UGDFs). We compare exclusive production of all charmonium states χc(
We discuss the interplay between higher orders of the perturbative QCD expansion and higher-twist contributions in the analysis of recent Jefferson Lab data on the lowest moments of spin-dependent proton and neutron structure functions Γ1p,n(Q2) and Bjorken sum rule function Γ1p-n(Q2) at 0.05
The generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule is known to be very sensitive to QCD radiative and power corrections. We improve the previously developed QCD-inspired model for the Q2 dependence of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule. We take into account higher order radiative and higher-twist power corrections extracted from precise Jefferson Lab data on the lowest moment of the spin-dependent pro
The amplitudes of the central exclusive production of χc mesons are calculated using different unintegrated gluon distribution functions (UGDFs). The procedure of generalisation of UGDF for non-forward case by saturation of positivity constraints is suggested. We compare exclusive production of all charmonium states χc(0+), χc(1+) and χc(2 +) including branching fraction for radiative J/ψ+γ decay
Near-threshold production of boson pairs is considered within the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass. We describe the principal aspects of the model and consider the strategy of calculations including the radiative corrections. The results of calculations are in good agreement with LEP II data and Monte-Carlo simulations. Suggested approach significantly simplifies calc
We consider exclusive double diffractive production of scalar χc(0+), axial-vector χc(1+) and tensor χc(2+) charmonia in proton-(anti)proton collisions at different energies. The corresponding amplitudes for these processes are derived within the kt -factorisation approach and the corresponding cross section is calculated with different unintegrated gluon distribution functions (UGDFs) known from
Near-threshold production of charged boson pairs is considered within the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass. The results of calculations are in good agreement with LEP II data and Monte Carlo simulations. Suggested approach significantly simplifies calculations with respect to standard perturbative one.
We discuss exclusive elastic double diffractive axial-vector χc (1+) meson production in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The amplitude for the process is derived within the kt-factorization approach with unintegrated gluon distribution functions (UGDFs). We show that the famous Landau-Yang theorem is not applicable in the case of off-shell gluons. Differential cross sections for diff
The split SUSY scenario with light Higgsino states is treated as an application to the dark matter problem. We have considered the structure of the neutralinonucleon interaction and calculated cross-section of the neutralinonucleon scattering. The decay properties of the lightest chargino and next lightest neutralino are analyzed in details.
Anomalous dimensions of high-twist Wilson operators in generic gauge theories occupy a band of width growing logarithmically with their conformal spin. We perform a systematic study of its fine structure in the autonomous SL (2) subsector of the dilatation operator of planar N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory which is believed to be integrable to all orders in 't Hooft coupling. We resort in our study
We calculate several differential distributions for exclusive double-diffractive χc(0++) production in the proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron and in proton-proton collisions at RHIC and LHC. We use unintegrated gluon distributions (UGDFs) within the kt-factorization approach. The g*g*→χc(0++) transition vertex is calculated as a function of gluon virtualities via the standard perturbativ
The reasonableness of the use of perturbative QCD notions in the region close to the scale of hadronization, i.e., below 1GeV is under study. First, the interplay between higher orders of pQCD expansion and higher-twist contributions in the analysis of recent Jefferson Lab (JLab) data on the generalized Bjorken sum rule function Γ1p-n(Q2) at 0.1
We analyze a connection between the neutralino mass sign, parity and structure of the neutralino-boson interaction. Correct calculation of spin-dependent and spin-independent contributions to neutralino-nuclear scattering should consider this connection. A convenient diagonalization procedure, based on the exponential parametrization of unitary matrix, is suggested.
