Complete Study of Hadroproduction of a Meson Associated with a Prompt
We present the first complete study of and prompt
production from single-parton scattering, including the complete
color-singlet contribution, the
electroweak contribution, the complete
nonrelativistic S-wave and P-wave color-octet contribution as well as the
feeddown contribution. Our study was motivated by the recent evidence reported
by D0 Collaboration of prompt and simultaneous production
at the Tevatron. With our complete evaluation, we are able to refine the
determination of the double parton scattering contribution made by D0
Collaboration. We find that the effective cross section characterizing the
importance of double-parton scatterings is mb at
confidence level from the D0 measurement.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables; v2: journal version, update the

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to associated production via the flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders
We present the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to
associated production induced by the model-independent and
flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders, respectively.
Our results show that, for the coupling the NLO QCD corrections can
enhance the total cross sections by about 60% and 42%, and for the
coupling by about 51% and 43% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively. The NLO
corrections, for the couplings, can enhance the total cross sections by
about 27%, and by about 42% for the coupling at the LHC. We also consider
the mixing effects between the and couplings for this process,
which can either be large or small depending on the values of the anomalous
couplings. Besides, the NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the total
cross sections on the renormalization or factorization scale significantly,
which lead to increased confidence on the theoretical predictions. And we also
evaluate the NLO corrections to several important kinematic distributions.Comment: Published version in Phys. Rev.
Threshold Resummation Effects in Neutral Higgs Boson Production by Bottom Quark Fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We investigate the QCD effects in the production of neutral Higgs bosons via
bottom quark fusion in both the standard model and the minimal supersymmetric
standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We include the
next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections (including supersymmetric QCD) and
the threshold resummation effects. We use the soft-collinear effective theory
to resum the large logarithms near threshold from soft gluon emission. Our
results show that the resummation effects can enhance the total cross sections
by about 5% compared with the NLO results.Comment: 29pages, 14 figures, version to appear in Physical Review
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the single top quark production via model-independent t-q-g flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders
We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD
effects on the single top productions induced by model-independent
flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders. Our results show
that, for the coupling the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total
cross sections by about 60% and 30%, and for the coupling by about 50%
and 20% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively, which means that the NLO
corrections can increase the experimental sensitivity to the FCNC couplings by
about 10%30%. Moreover, the NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the
total cross sections on the renormalization or factorization scale
significantly, which lead to increased confidence on the theoretical
predictions. Besides, we also evaluate the NLO corrections to several important
kinematic distributions, and find that for most of them the NLO corrections are
almost the same and do not change the shape of the distributions.Comment: minor changes, version published in PR
