The one loop MSbar static potential in the Gribov-Zwanziger Lagrangian

We compute the static potential in the Gribov-Zwanziger Lagrangian as a function of the Gribov mass, gamma, in the MSbar scheme in the Landau gauge at one loop. The usual gauge independent one loop perturbative static potential is recovered in the limit as gamma -> 0. By contrast the Gribov-Zwanziger static potential contains the term gamma^2/(p^2)^2. However, the linearly rising potential in coordinate space as a function of the radial variable r does not emerge due to a compensating behaviour as r -> infty. Though in the short distance limit a dipole behaviour is present. We also demonstrate enhancement in the propagator of the bosonic localizing Zwanziger ghost field when the one loop Gribov gap equation is satisfied. The explicit form of the one loop gap equation for the Gribov mass parameter is also computed in the MOM scheme and the zero momentum value of the renormalization group invariant effective coupling constant is shown to be the same value as that in the MSbar scheme.Comment: 54 latex pages, 6 figures, flaw in original Feynman rules corrected with updated two loop gap equation; new details added on derivation of propagators and their one loop corrections as well as bosonic ghost enhancemen

Measurement and QCD analysis of double-differential inclusive jet cross sections in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV and cross section ratios to 2.76 and 7 TeV

A measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum pT and the absolute jet rapidity |y| is presented. Data from LHC proton-proton collisions at √ s = 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 , have been collected with the CMS detector. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kT clustering algorithm with a size parameter of 0.7 in a phase space region covering jet pT from 74 GeV up to 2.5 TeV and jet absolute rapidity up to |y| = 3.0. The low-pT jet range between 21 and 74 GeV is also studied up to |y| = 4.7, using a dedicated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 pb−1 . The measured jet cross section is corrected for detector effects and compared with the predictions from perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order (NLO) using various sets of parton distribution functions (PDF). Cross section ratios to the corresponding measurements performed at 2.76 and 7 TeV are presented. From the measured double-differential jet cross section, the value of the strong coupling constant evaluated at the Z mass is αS(MZ) = 0.1164+0.0060 −0.0043, where the errors include the PDF, scale, nonperturbative effects and experimental uncertainties, using the CT10 NLO PDFs. Improved constraints on PDFs based on the inclusive jet cross section measurement are presented

Measurement of J/ψJ/\psi photoproduction at large momentum transfer at HERA

The proton-dissociative diffractive photoproduction of J/psi mesons has been studied in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 112 pb(-1). The cross section is presented as a function of the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy and of the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The results are compared to perturbative QCD calculations
