October

Read my thesis, de cabo a rabo (y así nuestros papers)

  • Teoría
    • Por qué la resummation? cómo sabemos que resuman? (observable R(\as(Q), Q)…)
    • What are the differences between the two resummations?
    • Why don't we Mellin transform the GBJ cross-section?
    • Vacuum polarization graphs. as(Q^2) picture [0908.1135]
    • Lambda_QCD
    • On Resummation: Possible viva question: why should the factorization scale be chosen of the order of the hard scale? What happens if one chooses a scale very different from the hard scale.
  • at:
    • Born. Compton scattering? Justify neglecting the interference.
    • BLNY form factor (Delenda, BLNY). Small-x broadening eq.
    • Corrections on Aurenche & Lindford's result. Able to derive in viva?
    • Why do we suppress the dependence of G on the electroweak parameters?
    • Kinematics in collinear limit eq.(2.28).
    • LO, eq.(2.36-2.44), z and Delta: my notes & Smye. Rewrite in latex? or make notes
    • Mellin transform, section 2.6.3: my presentations, my notes, ESW, papers…
    • Possible viva question: can you justify the statement that cuts on the lepton momenta do not affect the resummation?
    • Not clear: we don't need to examine large-angle radiation, the collinear limit is sufficient, as for the pt distribution.
    • Independent emission approximation, valid to NLL accuracy: can I show this? (notes…)
    • CMW scheme, Ref. 39
    • Virtuals are independent of Fourier and Mellin variables b and N
    • Modified radiator, z^N multiplying everything, with the anomalous dimension, Eq. 2.70, Ref. 41
    • z integration eq. 2.73
    • Expansion of radiator about sin(theta)=1, eq. 2.74 (notes)
    • Integral over kt, Ref 42.
    • Eq. 2.82: since the integral over b goes from 0 to inf and the PDFs are evaluated at 2/b, some comments might be needed about what is done with the regions of very small and large scale (conclusions 2.9), introducing a bmax in the vicinity of the Landau pole.
    • Eq. 2.90. Can I show this?
    • See corrected version of Conclusions, section 2.9

Prepararme las preguntas típicas de viva.

Papers/Notes:

  1. Tim's thesis. Delenda's thesis
  2. Papers on GBJ
  3. Apuntes de Mike y Jeff de la escuela de verano
  4. Documento con todo lo que borré?
  5. Pequeñas correcciones de Tim y mi libretita
  6. Have a look at reading list, as well

Books:

  1. ESW
  2. Applications of perturbative QCD
  3. Quarks and leptons ~ Martin
  4. Quarks Leptons And Fields by Kersan Huang

Terry hará preguntas de su parte, querrá entender, y saber lo que creo que puede salir de todo esto. Si no se impresiona con mi entendimiento de su parte, o no impresionamos juntos a Stirling, pues no va a estar feliz. Error

Después, para continuar ayudando a los físicos:

  1. Simetrías, ESW
  2. Wise Feynman's lectures

Week 5

  • Download code for three jets at desktop
  • Copy my cuts.f and run_card.dat
  • diff
  • Run!
  • NLOJet++
    • Get the constant plot for gap pT3 distribution
    • Total cross section?
  • MADGRAPH
    • Get the pT3 distribution

Possibly to do

  • Learn some gnuplot
    • File A: set multiplot not workig Yes, multiplot is working. Output 'at-vs-pt-lord.eps' directly created
  • Understand fully structure of atbos and rewrite program legibly
