T-Odd Asymmetry inW+jetEvents at the LHC

Abstract: W bosons produced at high transverse momentum in hadron collisions can have polarization along the direction perpendicular to the production plane, which is odd under naïve T reversal where both the threemomenta and angular momenta are reversed. Perturbative QCD predicts nonzero polarization at the one-loop level, which can be measured as parity-odd components in the angular distribution of charged leptons from the decay of W bosons. We perform a detector-level simulation with the generator MADGRAPH5_AMC@NLO, … Show more

“…Presently, two formalisms are used frequently to match matrix element (ME) calculations at the NLO accuracy to parton showers (PS), the MC@NLO [6,7] and POWHEG [8,9] methods. Indeed, both methods were used to make predictions for ttH hadroproduction [10,11], and the two predictions were found to be in agreement in Ref. [12].…”

“…Since the T-odd correlations in the case of CP violation arise only from the interference between the LO-SM and the NP we isolate events generated from this interference with appropriate MG5 syntax. 1 For both event samples, NLO-SM and LO-SM+NP events, we use the CT14nlo pdf [21], and apply the following selection cuts (15) with the transverse mass defined as M T = 2 p T / p T − p T · / p T . To validate our study we first repeat the NLO-SM calculation at 8 TeV and compare our results to those in [1].…”

“…The observable O T is the same one proposed in Ref. [1] to measure the QCD phase and dubbed x ⊥ in that reference. Since the LHC is a proton-proton collider, the symmetry of the initial state would cause O W and O T to vanish due to the ambiguity in the direction of p beam .…”

“…On the other hand, the m t → ∞ approximation is insufficient for the phenomenological applications. Thereby, many theoretical efforts have been devoted to investigate the finite m t corrections based on this approximation [19,[30][31][32][33][34][35].…”
