Higher twist QCD terms in high-P/sub T/ pion production

  • 1. High Energy Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439

Description

We investigate the higher twist subprocesses qG→qπ+- and qq-bar→Gπ+- in the framework of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Cross sections for these processes are compared with the minimum twist QCD results for qq-bar→qq-bar and qG→qG. The higher twist terms give sizeable corrections to the inclusive pion yields, particularly for qq-bar initial states. We also examine the effects of higher twist QCD terms for the charge ratio, N(π-N→π-X)/ N
