Using Effective Field Theories Near Corners of Phase Space
Outline
• Overview of problem
• Effective field theory review
• NRQCD– What is missing
• SCET
• Results for color-octet J/ photoproduction
Overview of problem
• Looking at
• Interesting because…
• Want to compare theory to experiment– How do we calculate this theoretically?
γp → J /ψ + X
Since multi-scale process, can useEffective Field Theory
An Effective Field Theory is an approximation to the trueunderlying theory, with enough in it to describe the
physics of interest.
i.e., true theory = Standard Model? EFT = depends on question
Particularly useful when there are multiple well-separated scales
Effective Field Theory Review
• When there are well-separated scales, can find small dimensionless numbers
• Goal is to try to expand in one of these small numbers
• Equivalently, shrink large energies (small distances) to a point– Think multipole expansion
• In Field Theory, remove heavy d.o.f.– Effects turn into coefficients
Corresponds to short wavelengths
Keep light (long wavelength) modes
What is needed?• The “light” degrees of freedom
– If EFT contains correct d.o.f., get the IR correct– If missing d.o.f., get problems
Want to describe (low energies)
Don’t know this (high energies)
EFT gets here down
Extra particles whose propagation not relevant for low energies

NRQCD Review
• Effective field theory relevant for heavy quark pairs (v typical velocity of quark)
– Scales:
– Expansion in αs and v 1
• Production rate written as
Calculable in perturbation series
Scale as some vn
Can be octet
Color singletmodel
New octetcontribution
Removed.o.f. ~ m, mv
J/ photoproduction• Lowest order color-singlet contribution
• Lowest order color-octet contribution
Scales like αs2 v3
Scales like αs v7 (αs ~ v2)

Color-Octet Growth at Endpoint
• As approach endpoint– Fixed-order perturbative and nonperturbative
calculation breaks down– Large perturbative corrections
– Large nonperturbative correctionsNeed to sum
(Sudakov logs)
(Motion of quark pair)
Need for SCET
• NRQCD doesn’t contain correct d.o.f.
– At endpoint need both soft and collinear modes
– NRQCD only has soft d.o.f
• SCET couples collinear and soft d.o.f.
– Was created to sum Sudakov logarithms
– Expansion in αs and ~ Q
• Couple NRQCD and SCET for photoproduction
– Only color-octet so far

• By using gauge invariance, operators constrained
• Field redefinition allows leading order factorization theorems

Overview of Calculation• Match QCD onto SCET (and NRQCD)
• Calculate rate (includes low , high z)
• Run down to low scale (sums logs)
Up to few GeV
Near z ~ 1
Results of Calculation• Factorization theorem:

Outlook
• Unlike previous calculations:– Include small , need this data– Include diffractive part
• In sum over states
• Work in progress: Color-singlet contribution
