Recent experimental and theoretical developments are bringing once more to the forefront how nuclear medium effects on the partonic structure of the nucleon are key for probing the fundamental properties of QCD. I will review the new progress and advancements in this field.
A discussion of Stan Brodsky's work shortly before and after the discovery of the J/psi particle.
Like many other quantities, Generalized Parton Distributions can
be represented in terms of Light-Cone Wave Functions. This connection has
several important physics aspects, which I review with a historical
perspective, from early work at the turn of the millenium to recent
developments.
I will discuss the tremendous simplifications arising from a 'trivial' vacuum in the light-front formulation of field theory and how that can be reconciled with non-zero vacuum condensates and dynamical symmetry breaking.
Bound states may be approximated by their valence Fock states $|val\rangle$, with higher Fock components perturbatively generated by the Hamiltonian, $H^n|val\rangle$. In temporal ($A^0=0$) gauge Gauss' law appears as a constraint on physical states, fixing the instantaneous potential energies of all Fock components. A dimensionful parameter arises in QCD through the boundary condition on the...
In this talk I will present an overview of the work with Stan Brodsky on nonperturbative QCD based on the gauge / gravity correspondence and light-front quantization. I will recount how our earlier incursions into this new area have gradually evolved into an active field of research. Our endeavor has been instrumental in bringing together a wonderful team of collaborators which has contributed...
I will review the evolution of the AFTER@LHC project.
Stan Brodsky's earliest papers were on precision tests of QED, and
his focus on the "QED analog" has provided a powerful reductionist
framework with which to compare and understand QCD phenomena.
I will review examples, and consider the implications for
precision tests of and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
