Evidence for the discrete asymptotically-free BFKL Pomeron from HERA data

We show that the next-to-leading-order renormalization-group-improved asymptotically-free BFKL Pomeron provides a good fit to HERA data on virtual photoproduction at small x   and large Q²$Q^2$. The leading discrete Pomeron pole reproduces qualitatively the Q²$Q^2$ dependence of the HERA data for x∼¹⁰⁻³$x\sim {10}^{\mathrm{-3}}$, and a fit using the three leading discrete singularities reproduces quantitatively the Q²$Q^2$ and x   dependence of the HERA data for x<¹⁰⁻²$x<{10}^{\mathrm{-2}}$. This fit fixes the phase for all the BFKL wavefunctions at a chosen infrared scale.     

The BFKL Pomeron in deep inelastic diffractive dissociation neart=0

The small-t behaviour of the deep inelastic diffractive dissociation cross section in the triple Regge region is investigated, using the BFKL approximation in perturbative QCD. We show that the cross section is finite att=0, but the diffusion in lnk _t ² leads to a large contribution of small momenta at the triple Pomeron vertex. We study the dependence upon the total energy and the invariant mass. Att=0, there is a decoupling of the three BFKL singularities which is a consequence of the conservation of the conformal dimension. For large invariant masses, the four gluon state in the uppert-channel plays an important role and cannot be neglected.     

Saturation and BFKL dynamics in the HERA data at small-x

We show that the HERA data for the inclusive structure function F₂(x,Q²) for x10⁻² and 0.045Q²45 GeV² can be well described within the color dipole picture, with a simple analytic expression for the dipole–proton scattering amplitude, which is an approximate solution to the non-linear evolution equations in QCD. For dipole sizes less than the inverse saturation momentum 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude is the solution to the BFKL equation in the vicinity of the saturation line. It exhibits geometric scaling and scaling violations by the diffusion term. For dipole sizes larger than 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude saturates to one. The fit involves three parameters: the proton radius R, the value x₀ of x at which the saturation scale Q_s equals 1 GeV, and the logarithmic derivative of the saturation momentum λ. The value of λ extracted from the fit turns out to be consistent with a recent calculation using the next-to-leading order BFKL formalism.     

Infrared behaviour and the bare Pomeron intercept in a Reggeon Field Theory including the Pomeron and thef-pole

An extension of the critical Reggeon Field Theory that includes both the Pomeron and thef-Reggeon fields is constructed. The quantum numbers of thef-Reggeon allows specific Reggeon-Pomeron couplings that have not been considered previously in standard works on secondary trajectories. We show the existence of a single fully stable fixed point among a total of 11 points. Unfortunately this point does not satisfy the factorization requirements imposed by thef-dominance of the Pomeron hypothesis and, in consequence, the critical Pomeron can not bef-dominated in aP+f model. We have also evaluated the value of the intercept of the bare critical Pomeron, using the method of integral representations of the propagators. The value obtained is clearly higher than the one previously obtained without thef-Pomeron interplay. With an adequate choice of the values of the bare coupling constants its value is in good agreement with the phenomenological one.     

Diffusion and the BFKL pomeron

We study the high energy behaviour of elastic scattering amplitudes within the leading logarithm approximation. In particular, we cast the amplitude in a form which allows us to study the internal dynamics of the BFKL Pomeron for general momentum transfer. We demonstrate that the momentum transfer acts as an effective infrared cut-off which ensures that the dominant contribution arises from short distance physics.     

Unitarity and the BFKL pomeron

High energy onium-onium scattering is calculated as a function of impact parameter in the one- and two-pomeron exchange approximation. Difficulties with using the multiple scattering series to unitarize single pomeron exchange at high energy are noted. An operator formalism which sums all numbers of pomeron exchange is given. A toy model which has a similar operator structure at high energy as QCD is presented and the S-matrix is evaluated. Estimates of the energies and impact parameters at which blackness occurs in onium-onium scattering are given. It is emphasized that the problem of unitarity in high energy onium-onium scattering can be solved in a purely perturbative context, with a non-running coupling if the onium is heavy enough.     

Nuclear shadowing and antishadowing in a unitarized BFKL equation

The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation.The Q2-and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution.In particular,the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a flee proton.     

Pomeron with a running coupling constant in the nucleus

The running coupling is introduced into the equation for propagation of the pomeron in the nucleus via the bootstrap relation. The resulting equation coincides with the one obtained in the color dipole formalism by summing contributions from quark–antiquark loops, with a general choice of the regularization scheme.

Numerical distortion and effects of thermostat in molecular dynamics simulations of single-walled carbon nanotubes

In this paper, single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWCNTs） are studied through molecular dynamics （MD） simulation. The simulations are performed at temperatures of 1 and 300K separately, with atomic interactions characterized by the second Reactive Empirical Bond Order （REBO） potential, and temperature controlled by a certain thermostat, i.e. by separately using the velocity scaling, the Berendsen scheme, the Nose-Hoover scheme, and the generalized Langevin scheme. Results for a （5,5） SWCNT with a length of 24.5 nm show apparent distortions in nanotube configuration, which can further enter into periodic vibrations, except in simulations using the generalized Langevin thermostat, which is ascribed to periodic boundary conditions used in simulation. The periodic boundary conditions may implicitly be applied in the form of an inconsistent constraint along the axis of the nanotube. The combination of the inconsistent constraint with the cumulative errors in calculation causes the distortions of nanotubes. When the generalized Langevin thermostat is applied, inconsistently distributed errors are dispersed by the random forces, and so the distortions and vibrations disappear. This speculation is confirmed by simulation in the case without periodic boundary conditions, where no apparent distortion and vibration occur. It is also revealed that numerically induced distortions and vibrations occur only in simulation of nanotubes with a small diameter and a large length-to-diameter ratio. When MD simulation is applied to a system with a particular geometry, attention should be paid to avoiding the numerical distortion and the result infidelity.     

Nuclear shadowing and antishadowing in a unitarized BFKL equation

The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation. The Q²- and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution. In particular, the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a free proton.     

The origin of a high-energy scale in the Pomeron calculus

The Gribov-Reggeon calculus, whose perturbative expansion is expected to converge at low energy, is known to give rise to critical phenomena at ultra-high energies. The aim of this paper is to investigate the transition between these two regimes and to determine the scale with which this transition happens. This is done by solving exactly the renormalization group equation in a model theory. The propagator shows a singularity whose position determines the scale in question. The dynamical origin of this scale — whose evaluation situates it beyond present machine energies — is discussed, and so the dual relation between the perturbative and the critical expansions.

Antishadowing effects in the unitarized BFKL equation

A unitarized BFKL equation incorporating shadowing and antishadowing corrections of the gluon recombination is proposed. This equation reduces to the Balitsky–Kovchegov evolution equation near the saturation limit. We find that the antishadowing effects have a sizable influence on the gluon distribution function in the preasymptotic regime.     

Echo spectroscopy of a phase-sensitive thermostat

Kinetic equations describing the behavior of an atom in nonresonant classical and broadband squeezed fields are obtained. The two-pulse photon echo under the conditions of additional illumination by non-resonant fields is studied theoretically. It is shown that investigation of the photon echo decay allows one to determine the main parameters of the squeezed field.

Glueball spectrum and Pomeron in the Wilson loop approach

Using a nonperturbative method based on the asymptotic behavior of Wilson loops, we calculate the masses of glueballs and the corresponding Regge trajectories. The only input is the string tension fixed by the meson Regge slope, while perturbative contributions to spin splittings are defined by standard α_s values. The masses of the lowest glueball states are in a perfect agreement with lattice results. The leading glueball trajectory, which is associated with the Pomeron is discussed in detail, and its mixing with f and f′ trajectories is taken into account.
