Transverse momentum broadening at NLO and QCD evolution of $\hat q$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-09 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Within the framework of a high-twist approach, we show the first complete next-to-leading order calculation of transverse momentum broadening in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic e+Ae+A scattering and Drell-Yan dilepton production in p+Ap+A collisions. We demonstrate at one-loop level how QCD factorization holds for multiple scattering in nuclear medium, and the university of the associated quark-gluon correlation function. Our calculation also identifies QCD evolution equation for the quark-gluon correlation function, which determines the QCD factorization scale and energy dependence of jet transport parameter q^\hat q.
