Meson Wave Functions From Holographic Qcd And The Role Of Infrared Renormalons In Proton-Proton Collisions

TL;DR

This paper investigates higher-twist effects in pion production during proton-proton collisions using holographic QCD, analyzing infrared renormalons and comparing resummed and frozen coupling approaches to understand their phenomenological impact.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of higher-twist contributions and infrared renormalons in holographic QCD for proton-proton collisions, including resummation techniques and phenomenological implications.

Findings

Resummed higher twist cross sections differ from frozen coupling results.

Infrared renormalons significantly influence the higher-twist contributions.

Higher-twist effects may have observable consequences in pion production.

Abstract

We calculate the contribution of the higher twist Feynman diagrams to the large-$p_T$ inclusive pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions in the case of the running and frozen coupling approaches within holographic QCD. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher twist subprocess cross section and it's resummed expression are found. We compare the resummed higher twist cross sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approximation and leading twist cross section. We discuss the phenomenological consequences of possible higher-twist contributions to the pion production in proton-proton collisions within holographic QCD.
