The QCD energy-momentum tensor (EMT) relation to light-cone distributions and correlators is considered. The limit of massless particles and pressure of quarks in photons is addressed. The special role of tensor polarization of spin-1 particles is analyzed. Special attention is payed to the role of EMT in coupling of quarks and gluons to gravity and manifestation of equivalence principle and...
Baryon-to-meson Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) appear as building blocks for amplitudes within the collinear factorized description of a class of hard exclusive reactions such as hard exclusive meson electroproduction off a baryon in the near-backward region and baryon-antibaryon annihilation into a meson and a lepton pair.
In this talk we present a general overview of the...
QED bound states (atoms) are “non-perturbative” in the sense that no finite order Feynman diagram has a bound state pole. Wave functions are typically gauge dependent and exponential in $\alpha$. Physical binding energies on the other hand do have a perturbative expansion in $\alpha$ (and log $\alpha$). The hyperfine splitting of Positronium has been evaluated to O($\alpha^7$log$\alpha$) and...
In this contribution the solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equation in Minkowski space, for a QED-like theory with a massive vector, in Rainbow ladder approximation and using integral representation will be presented for the Feynman gauge and compared to Euclidean results with Pauli-Villars regulators. The unregulated equations have solution below the critical coupling constant $\alpha_c=...
We consider the analytic continuation of the gluon propagator from the Euclidean region to the complex momentum plane towards the Minkowski region. Then we derive general relationships between the number of complex poles of a propagator and the sign of the spectral function originating from the branch cut in the Minkowski region under some assumptions on the asymptotic behaviors of the...
Heavy ion collisions pose interesting challenges to quantum chromodynamics, because they probe the parton structure of the incoming nuclei at very small longitudinal momentum fractions. Combined with the large size of nuclei, this may lead to the phenomenon of gluon saturation. The Color Glass Condensate is an effective QCD description that aims to cope with such a situation. In this talk, I...
The main goal of heavy-ion programs of the LHC and RHIC experiments is to characterise properties of the hot and dense QCD matter, so called quark-gluon plasma, created in the heavy-ion collisions and the phase transition between the hadronic and the de-confined matter.
In this review, recent experimental results of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC and LHC energies and their...
Starting with the SPS and now RHIC and LHC, heavy-ion collisions (A-A) were used to study the quark-gluon plasma and its properties. Small colliding systems such as p-p and p-A were used as baseline to understand effects from vacuum QCD and cold nuclear effects respectively. Nevertheless since the discovery of quark-gluon plasma like signatures in small colliding systems (such as p-p, p-A,...
Improved opacity expansion for medium-induced parton splitting
Medium-induced parton splitting is the building block for jet evolution in the presence of a hot QCD medium and plays a central role in quantitative studies of jet quenching. It exhibits two regimes: single hard and multiple soft scattering regimes that dominate at high and low frequency respectively. A closed analytic...
High-precision knowledge of electromagnetic form factors of nuclei is a subject of much current experimental and theoretical activity in nuclear and atomic physics. Such precision mandates that effects of the non-zero spatial extent of the constituent nucleons be handled in a manner that goes beyond the usual impulse approximation. A series of simple, Poincare-invariant, composite-proton...
We review recent progress in describing the equilibrium properties of QCD (and related theories such as Yang-Mills theory) at finite temperature/density from a systematic and controlled small parameter expansion, based on the Curci-Ferrari model. The latter has recently been proposed as a possible extension of the standard but ill-defined Faddeev-Popov action in the Landau gauge. In the case...
I will review the current status of transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions (TMDs), which encode the 3-dimensional structure of the nucleon in momentum space. I will discuss their properties, how they are connected to different physical observables, and the state-of-the-art theoretical and phenomenological results.
Inclusive particle production in forward pA collisions is one of the observables that is used frequently in order to understand the high-energy collision data. Moreover, at certain kinematics, one gets access to TMDs from the CGC calculations of these observables. I will discuss the details of this correspondence focusing on multi-jet production.
The LHC and HERA experimental results are reviewed with focus on the low-x kinematic domain where the BFKL dynamics, saturation effects and the gluon transverse momentum play a role.
In particular, diffractive processes (involving J/psi, upsilon or jets), the central exclusive production in the hadron-hadron collisions and the forward jets produced in pp and pA are discussed.
We propose and develop a new formalism that generalizes the Color Glass Condensate approach to high energy scattering by including both small and large $x$ gluons in the wave function of a target proton or nucleus. This allows one to treat particle production at both low and high transverse momenta on the same footing. We illustrate the formalism by calculating the differential cross section...
We discuss the electroproduction of a pseudoscalar (0−+) meson or a scalar (0++) meson off the scalar target. The most general formulation of the differential cross section for the 0−+ or 0++ meson process involves only one or two hadronic form factors, respectively, on a scalar target. The Rosenbluth-type separation of the differential cross section provides the explicit relation between the...
We evaluate the quark double parton distribution (dPDF) function of the pion in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, previously used to successfully obtain related quantities such as PDF, PDA, GPD, TMD, etc. In this model the pion appears as a Goldstone boson of the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry and as a fully relativistic q qbar bound state of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We show that at the...
I will give a short introduction to light-front formulations of
relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. I will
discuss some of the special properties and advantages of a light-front
dynamics. I will also discuss both the relation to and differences
with ``instant-form'' relativistic quantum mechanics and canonical
formulations of quantum field theory.
Light-front holography refers to an exact correspondance between semiclassical (with zero quark masses and no quantum loops) light-front QCD and a gravitational theory in 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. Conformal symmetry is broken in a novel way, namely by the so-called dAFF (de Alfaro, Furbini and Furlan) mechanism which allows the emergence of a fundamental AdS/QCD mass scale...
The light-front wavefunctions of hadrons allows us to calculate a wide range of physical observables; however, the wave-functions themselves cannot be measured. Furthermore, the light-front wavefunctions are typically expanded in their Fock components, and it is not clear, a priori, how many terms in this expansion are needed for quantitatively reliable calculations of hadron observables, and...
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility at the Japanese KEK laboratory. The design luminosity of the machine is $8\times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{-1}$ of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. From February to July 2018, the machine has...
Basis Light Front Quantization provides a practical framework and is actively used for solving the mass eigenvalue problem of the light-front Hamiltonian for hadronic systems. I will review recent results for mixed-flavor and light mesons as well as for baryons. These results include masses, decay constants, transition rates, form factors, parton distribution functions including their QCD...
QCD is not supersymmetrical in the traditional sense -- the QCD Lagrangian is based on quark and gluonic fields -- not squarks or gluinos. However, its hadronic eigensolutions conform to a representation of superconformal algebra, reflecting the underlying conformal symmetry of chiral QCD and its Pauli matrix representation. The eigensolutions of superconformal algebra provide a unified Regge...
I will review progress in calculating the properties of mesons, baryons and tetraquarks using Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations. This includes the spectrum of light and strange baryons and their transition form factors as well as states dominated by four-quark dynamics such as the X(3872) and other heavy-light tetraquark candidates. I will discuss recent advances in determining...
The CEBAF facility at Jefferson Lab (JLab) recently completed its 12 GeV upgrade, and is now capable of delivering high intensity electron beams to all four experimental halls simultaneously. It is now in its first full year operation and will produce incredibly amount of precision data to help address some critically important 21st century science questions, e.g., what is the role of gluonic...
The partonic structure of the proton has been established in deep inelastic scattering and a detailed picture of the nucleon has emerged from a wide range of experiments and global analyses. Hadronic collisions allow direct access to the gluon content in the nucleon and polarized beams introduce an additional degree of freedom, spin, which is naturally connected to parton kinematics. Polarized...
We find in one-loop calculations and spectator models that twist-3 GPDs exhibit discontinuities. In the forward limit, these discontinuities grow into Dirac delta functions which are essential to satisfy the sum rules involving twist-3 PDFs. We calculate twist-3 quasi-PDFs as a function of longitudinal momentum, and identify the Dirac delta function terms with momentum components in the...
We calculate the transition form factor between vector and pseudoscalar quarkonia in both the timelike and the spacelike region using light-front dynamics. We investigate the frame dependence of the form factors for heavy quarkonia with light-front wave functions calculated from the valence Fock sector. This dependence could serve as a measure for the Lorentz symmetry violation arising from...
Determining quark spin dependent distributions in the proton is a key task in hadron physics to understand strong interactions. Existing world data show positive polarization for up quarks and negative polarization for down quarks. However, perturbative QCD predicts maximally positive polarization for both up and down quarks at large longitudinal momentum limit, $x\to1$, while extrapolations...
