Exploring Central Diffractive Production of Heavy Quarkonia with KHRYSTHAL Collaboration

This study delves into the intricacies of diffractive production of heavy quarkonia with a focus on Tevatron, RHIC, and LHC data. It includes forward proton distributions, spin-parity analysis, and prospects for high-precision mass measurements. The research also highlights the dynamics of soft diffraction, potential discovery channels in the MSSM parameter space, and the implications of Higgs production at the LHC. The text showcases the utility of Central Exclusive Diffraction Production (CEDP) in identifying the properties of new particles and emphasizes the importance of proton momentum correlations in probing QCD dynamics and CP violation effects. Through detailed theoretical analyses and experimental predictions, the work aims to shed light on challenging aspects of heavy quarkonium spectroscopy and explore uncharted territories within particle physics.

  1. Central Diffractive Production of Heavy Quarkonia. (KHRYSTHAL collaboration)  V.A. Khoze(IPPP, Durham) (based on works by V.KHoze, M. RYskin and W.J. STirling and L. HArland-Lang) 1

  2. With a bit of personal flavour (topical examples) Tevatron, RHIC and LHC. Forward proton distributions and correlations. CDP@LHC with FSC

  3. New D0 jj- results RHIC, ALICE data expected (star reactions!) Spin-Parity Analyzer (KKMR-2003) Detailed tests of dynamics of soft diffraction(KMR-02)

  5. Prospects for high accuracy (~1%) mass measurements • (irrespectively of the decay mode). • Quantum number filter/analyser. • ( 0++dominance ;C,P-even) • H ->bb opens up (Hbb- coupl.) • (gg)CED bb inLO ; NLO,NNLO, b- masseffects - controllable. • For some areas of the MSSM param. spaceCEDP may become adiscovery channel! • H→WW*/WW - an added value (less challenging experimentally + small bgds., better PUcond. ) • New leverage –proton momentum correlations (probes of QCD dynamics , CP- violation effects…) CED Higgs production at the LHC H How do we know what we’ve found?  LHC : ‘after discovery stage’,Higgs ID…… mass, spin, couplings to fermions and Gauge Bosons, invisible modes…  for all these purposes the CEDP will be particularly handy !

  6. “soft” scattering can easily destroy the gaps S²absorption effects -necessitated by unitarity (Beatriz) gap M Everybody’s ~ happy (KMR, GLMM, FHSW, KP, S.Ostapchenco. Petrov et al, BH, GGPS, MCs..) gap soft-hard factorizn conserved broken eikonal rescatt: between protons enhanced rescatt: involving intermediate partons Subject of hot discussions recently :S²enh

  7. Standard Candle Processes ‘Better to light a candle than to rant against darkness’ ( Confucius )

  8. FSC@LHC * (more coming soon ) * * Prpospects ! Our 3 measurements are all in good agreement (factor “few”) with the Durham group predictions.

  15. What we expect within the framework of the Perturbative Durham formalism (KMR-01, KKMR-03, KMRS-04, HKRS-10) Example, O++ -case *KNLO Strong sensitivity to the polarization structure of the vertex in the bare amplitude. Absorption is sizeably distorted by the polarization structure (affects the b-space distr.)

UNCERTAINTIES Known Unknowns N(N)LO- radiative effects (K-factors etc..) ‘…possible inadequancy of PT theory in s …’R.Barbieri et al-1980 ‘ ‘Right’ choice of gluon densities, in particular at so low scales as in the case ( potentiality of a factor of ~3 rise for the H-case ) . Complete model for calculation of enhanced absorption. -experimental widths, decays…     Unknown Unknowns Non- pQCD effects in the meson characteristics. Currently no complete description of heavy quarkonium characteristics. ‘Two gluon width does not tell the whole story.’   Gluons at so low scales, surprises are not excluded at all. Factor of 5 up or down (conservatively) 34
