Measurement of Beauty and Charm Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA and Measurement of the Beauty-Quark Mass
Journal of High Energy Physics(2014)
摘要
The production of beauty and charm quarks in ep interactions has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA for exchanged four-momentum squared 5 < Q 2 < 1000 GeV2 using an integrated luminosity of 354 pb−1. The beauty and charm content in events with at least one jet have been extracted using the invariant mass of charged tracks associated with secondary vertices and the decay-length significance of these vertices. Differential cross sections as a function of Q 2, Bjorken x, jet trans- verse energy and pseudorapidity were measured and compared with next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. The beauty and charm contributions to the proton structure functions were extracted from the double-differential cross section as a function of x and Q 2. The running beauty-quark mass, m b at the scale m b , was determined from a QCD fit at next-to-leading order to HERA data for the first time and found to be m b (m b ) = 4.07 ± 0.14 (fit) − 0.07 + 0.01 (mod.) − 0.00 + 0.05 (param.) − 0.05 + 0.08 (theo.) GeV.
