We apply the recently developed concept of the nucleon energy-energy correlator (NEEC) for the gluon sector to investigate the long-range azimuthal angular correlations in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The spinning gluon in these collisions will introduce substantial nonzero asymmetries in both Higgs boson and top quark pair productions, where is the azimuthal angle between the forward and backward energy correlators in the NEEC observables. The genesis of the correlation lies in the intricate quantum entanglement. Owing to the substantial effect, the NEEC observable in Higgs boson and production emerges as a pivotal avenue for delving into quantum entanglement and scrutinizing the Bell inequality at high-energy colliders.
我们将用于胶子扇区的核子能量-能量关联器(NEEC)这一最近发展的概念应用于研究大型强子对撞机中质子-质子碰撞中的长程方位角关联。这些碰撞中的自旋胶子将在希格斯玻色子和顶夸克对产生中引入大量非零不对称性,其中是NEEC可观测量中前向和后向能量关联器之间的方位角。这种关联的起源在于复杂的量子纠缠。由于这种显著的效应,希格斯玻色子和产生中的NEEC可观测量成为在高能对撞机中深入研究量子纠缠和检验贝尔不等式的关键途径。
