Theory summary: what I would like to
understandJiří Chýla, Institute of Physics, Prague
Overview on direct photons: HeinrichTotal cross sections: Pancheri,GPD’s & related: Friot, Landsberg, Pire, Wallon, Szymanowski Unintegrated PDF: Szczurek, Hautman Standard PDF: JC, Hejbal, Sasaki Power corrections: Hautman Scales, schemes: Geiser, GrindhammerQED processes: Serbo, Da Silva
Often difficult to distinguish between theory/phenome-and experiment. A lot of comparison of older calcula-tions with new data, as well as new calculations.

I will not attempt to summarize what the speakers actually said, but will attach to each of the topics comments/questions, the latter mostly reflecting my ignorance of the respective subjects, but which, nevertheless, might be interesting to answer.

G. Pancheri:
Total cross sections

What drives the rise of the total cross sections?
G. Pancheri has the answer: minijet production driven by the rise of PDF at low x

To get the rise she needs very small lower cut off on minijet, or better, produced parton, tranverse momentum
GeVpT 1min
But as such low transverse momenta:
lowest order partonic cross sections are unreliable and highly ambiguous (scales!).
These XS grow rapidly at low pT and thus the rise of the total XS is very sensitive to the choice of pT
min
I do not understand how one can use in minijet models PDF extracted from genuine hard processes.

Great, but factorization implies ambiguities, scales and schemes, which at least for inclusive processes, play very important phenomenological role.
I would expect them to play analogous role in GPD’s andrelated quantities as well. Is that true?
If yes, there must a mechanism to guarantee independenceof physical quantities of these ambiguities, similarly as ininclusive processes:
Choice of C(1) here
is compensated by change of C(1)
here
Mechanism guaranteeing factorization scale and scheme invariance of proton structure function

I miss the mechanism by which the dependence of UPDF’s on the scale is cancelled. In the standard integrated PDF’s this cancellation is provided is by the explicit depen-dence of hard scattering cross sections on .
So the off-shell cross sections should depend on it as well, and one would probably need NLO QCD calculation of these cross sections to get the cancellation mechanism.
At the present time the scale dependence of calculationsinvolving UPDF’s is therefore large.
But perhaps, I am wrong....

Scales, schemesBoring, frustrating but inevitable perturbation theory ambiguities. We can ignore them, but to our own peril.Achim Geiser: How well do we understand choice of QCD scales?
These ambiguities are inevitable consequence of renor- malization and factorization procedures and truncationof PT to any fixed order.
Contrary to conventional view, they do not go away when we go to higher orders, as at each order of PT new free parameters defining renormalized/factorized quantitiesdo appear.
There is no genuine “resolution” of these ambiguities, just a few recipes how to fix the scales and schemes.

Achim Geiser’s

I generally agree with Achim’s strategy, but want to emphasize two points:
Renormalization schemes are equally important as renormalization scales. We can fix one and very the other or the other way round.
The number “1/2” in Achim’s suggested new default scale corresponds to the standard MSbar RS. In other RS it will be different and could easily be 1.
The renormalization and factorization scales should not be identified (as usually done).
Reply to Samuel Wallon: BLM scale setting methodcannot be applied to quantities involving factorization scale.

But: separation of perturbative part and power corrections is ambiguous and the numerical relevance of the latter thus depends on the choice of free parameters (scales, schemes) of perturbative calculations. Example: Klaus Hammacher at ICHEP 2002 in Amsterdam
