Next-to-Leading Order Cross Sections for Tagged Reactions
arXiv:hep-ph/9812415 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.59.114004
Abstract
We extend the phase space slicing method of Giele, Glover and Kosower for performing next-to-leading order jet cross section calculations in two important ways: we show how to include fragmentation functions and how to include massive particles. These extensions allow the application of this method to not just jet cross sections but also to cross sections in which a particular final state particle, including a $D$ or $B$-meson, is tagged.
