Determination of the high-twist contribution to the structure function
We extract the high-twist contribution to the neutrino-nucleon structure
function from the analysis of the data collected by
the IHEP-JINR Neutrino Detector in the runs with the focused neutrino beams at
the IHEP 70 GeV proton synchrotron. The analysis is performed within the
infrared renormalon (IRR) model of high twists in order to extract the
normalization parameter of the model. From the NLO QCD fit to our data we
obtained the value of the IRR model normalization parameter
. We
also obtained from a similar fit to the CCFR data. The average of both results is

QCD factorization for forward hadron scattering at high energies
We consider the QCD factorization of DIS structure functions at small x and
amplitudes of 2->2 -hadronic forward scattering at high energy. We show that
both collinear and k_T-factorization for these processes can be obtained
approximately as reductions of a more general (totally unintegrated) form of
the factorization. The requirement of ultraviolet and infrared stability of the
factorization convolutions allows us to obtain restrictions on the fits for the
parton distributions in k_T- and collinear factorization.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures In the present version misprints found in the

Anomalous WW-Gamma Vertex in Gamma-p Collision
The potential of LC+HERAp based Gamma-p collider to probe WW-Gamma vertex is
presented through the discussion of sensitivity to anomalous couplings and P_T
distribution of the final quark. The limits of -0.04<\Delta\kappa<0.04 and
-0.11<\lambda<0.11 at 95% C.L. can be reached with integrated luminosity
200(1/pb). The limit for \Delta\kappa is comparable to one which is expected
from LHC. The bounds are also obtained from corresponding ep collider using
Weizsacker-Williams Approximation to compare with real photons.Comment: 8 pages, 2 eps figure
Search for the exotic resonance in the NOMAD experiment
A search for exotic Theta baryon via Theta -> proton +Ks decay mode in the
NOMAD muon neutrino DIS data is reported. The special background generation
procedure was developed. The proton identification criteria are tuned to
maximize the sensitivity to the Theta signal as a function of xF which allows
to study the Theta production mechanism. We do not observe any evidence for the
Theta state in the NOMAD data. We provide an upper limit on Theta production
rate at 90% CL as 2.13 per 1000 of neutrino interactions.Comment: Accepted to European Physics Journal
Measurement of the photon-jet production differential cross section in collisions at \sqrt{s}=1.96~\TeV
We present measurements of the differential cross section dsigma/dpT_gamma
for the inclusive production of a photon in association with a b-quark jet for
photons with rapidities |y_gamma|< 1.0 and 30<pT_gamma <300 GeV, as well as for
photons with 1.5<|y_gamma|< 2.5 and 30< pT_gamma <200 GeV, where pT_gamma is
the photon transverse momentum. The b-quark jets are required to have pT>15 GeV
and rapidity |y_jet| < 1.5. The results are based on data corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb^-1, recorded with the D0 detector at the
Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The measured cross
sections are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations
using different sets of parton distribution functions as well as to predictions
based on the kT-factorization QCD approach, and those from the Sherpa and
Pythia Monte Carlo event generators.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Phys. Lett.
Measurement of three-jet differential cross sections d sigma-3jet / d M-3jet in p anti-p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV
We present the first measurement of the inclusive three-jet differential
cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the three jets with the
largest transverse momenta in an event in p anti-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96
TeV. The measurement is made in different rapidity regions and for different
jet transverse momentum requirements and is based on a data set corresponding
to an integrated luminosity of 0.7 fb^{-1} collected with the D0 detector at
the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results are used to test the three-jet
matrix elements in perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order in
the strong coupling constant. The data allow discrimination between
parametrizations of the parton distribution functions of the proton.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, submitted to Phys. Lett. B, corrected

Measurement of the Isolated Photon Cross Section in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV
The cross section for the inclusive production of isolated photons has been
measured in p anti-p collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the
Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The photons span transverse momenta 23 to 300 GeV
and have pseudorapidity |eta|<0.9. The cross section is compared with the
results from two next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. The
theoretical predictions agree with the measurement within uncertainties.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys.Lett.
Measurement of the differential cross section for the production of an isolated photon with associated jet in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV
The process ppbar -> photon + jet + X is studied using 1.0 fb^-1 of data
collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider at a
center-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. Photons are reconstructed in the
central rapidity region |y_gamma|<1.0 with transverse momenta in the range
30<Pt_gamma<400 GeV while jets are reconstructed in either the central
|y_jet|15 GeV.
The differential cross section d^3sigma/dPt_gamma dy_gamma dy_jet is measured
as a function of Pt_gamma in four regions, differing by the relative
orientations of the photon and the jet in rapidity. Ratios between the
differential cross sections in each region are also presented. Next-to-leading
order QCD predictions using different parameterizations of parton distribution
functions and theoretical scale choices are compared to the data. The
predictions do not simultaneously describe the measured normalization and
Pt_gamma dependence of the cross section in any of the four measured regions.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure

B, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2015-03/International audienceMeasurements of the and production cross sections (where ) in proton-proton collisions at TeV are presented using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 81 pb. The total inclusive -boson production cross sections times the single-lepton-flavour branching ratios are nb and nb for and , respectively. The total inclusive -boson production cross section times leptonic branching ratio, within the invariant mass window GeV, is nb. The , , and -boson production cross sections and cross-section ratios within a fiducial region defined by the detector acceptance are also measured. The cross-section ratios benefit from significant cancellation of experimental uncertainties, resulting in and . Theoretical predictions, based on calculations accurate to next-to-next-to-leading order for quantum chromodynamics and next-to-leading order for electroweak processes and which employ different parton distribution function sets, are compared to these measurements
