Equilibration in quark gluon plasma

The hydrodynamic expansion rate of quark gluon plasma (QGP) is evaluated and compared with the scattering rate of quarks and gluons within the system. Partonic scattering rates evaluated within the ambit of perturbative Quantum Choromodynamics (pQCD) are found to be smaller than the expansion rate evaluated with ideal equation of state (EoS) for the QGP. This indicate that during the space-time evolution the system remains out of equilibrium. Enhancement of pQCD cross sections and a more realistic EoS keep the partons closer to the equilibrium.     

Scalar and Pseudo-Scalar Form Factors in Electro- and Weak-Production of Pion Near Threshold

We investigated pion production near threshold by the weak current in terms of multipole amplitudes. By exploiting the chiral Ward identity based on the QCD Lagrangian, we derived relevant multipole amplitudes in closed forms and presented their numerical results. In the amplitudes, scalar and pseudo scalar (PS) form factors, which represent the scalar and the PS quark density distributions, manifest by themselves. We applied these amplitudes to the cross sections for the weak- and electro-production near threshold. Both pion and PS form factor contributions are shown to account for the t-channel contribution in the charged pion electro-production near threshold. The asymmetry on the pion production by the neutrino and anti-neutrino is also discussed with their longitudinal and transverse cross sections.     

Multi-parton cross sections at hadron colliders

We present an alternative method to calculate cross sections for multi-parton scattering processes in the standard model at leading order. The helicity amplitudes are computed using recursion relations in the number of particles, based on the Dyson–Schwinger equations, whereas the summation over colour and helicity configurations is performed by Monte Carlo methods. The computational cost of our algorithm grows asymptotically as 3ⁿ, where n is the number of particles involved in the process, as opposed to the n!-growth of the Feynman diagram approach. Typical results for the total cross section, the differential distributions of the invariant masses and the transverse momenta of the partons are presented and cross checked by explicit summation over colours.     

A calculation of semileptonic neutral currents assuming partons and Weinberg's renormalizable theory

The Weinberg renormalizable theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions and its simple extension to hadron interactions are applied to a simple parton model. Strange partons are neglected. Inelastic neutrino and antineutrino cross sections for charged and neutral currents are expressed as functions of the parton charges, the Weinberg angle and the parton distributions in the Feynman variable x. Using the experimental charged current results, the neutral current to charged current total-cross section ratios are given as a function of the Weinberg angle for both integral and fractionally charged partons. Comparing these ratios with the experimental limits we conclude (a) that integral charges are excluded, and (b) that, given fractional charges, the Weinberg angle is constrained to be 40° ± 5°. It is shown that this result is not inconsistent with other published limits.     

Fully differential cross sections for C6+ single ionization of helium

The three-Coulomb-wave(3C) model is applied to study the single ionization of helium by 2 MeV/amu C6+ impact.Fully differential cross sections(FDCS) are calculated in the scattering plane and the results are compared with experimental data and other theoretical predictions.It is shown that the 3C results of the recoil peak are in very good agreement with experimental observations,and variation of the position of the binary peak with increasing momentum transfer also conforms better to the experimental results.Furthermore,the contributions of different scattering amplitudes are discussed.It turns out that the cross sections are strongly influenced by the interference of these amplitudes.     

On the hadron-parton reciprocity relation

The possibility of an equality between the distributions of partons inside hadrons and the distributions of hadrons in parton fragmentation is studied. It is consistent with existing electroproduction data when the momentum fractions involved are not too small. Implications for current-hadron interactions, large p_T hadronic cross sections and heavy lepton pair production in hadron-hadron collisons are discussed.     

Deep inelastic scattering of neutrinos and antineutrinos by a polarized proton in the quark-parton model

Deep inelastic scattering of neutrinos and antineutrinos by polarized protons is considered in the quark-parton model. For processes with charged currents, a connection is obtained between the asymmetry of the differential cross sections corresponding to different spin directions of the target proton and the distribution functions of the polarized partons in the polarized proton (d for neutrinos and u for antineutrinos). It is shown that the presence of an x dependence of the asymmetry parameter corresponds to a difference between the distribution functions of partons with opposite helicity. For processes with neutral currents, relations are obtained between the asymmetry parameters and the constants that determine the helicity structure of the weak neutral quark current.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 41–45, April, 1980.I thank Professor B.

Inclusive Photoproduction of Υ(1s) and J/ψ in Ultra-peripheral p-Pb Collisions at √s=5.5 TeV

With a photon spectrum of high energy charged partons, both differential and total cross sections of J/ψ and Υ(1s) inclusive photoproduction in ultra-peripheral p-Pb Collisions (UPCs) at √s=5.5 TeV are given. A direct photon process and a resolved photon process including fragment and non-fragment contributions are considered. The total cross section is compared to the inelastic production results in coherent p-Pb collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. Our results seem non-negligible.     

Ground state reorientation effects in elastic scattering cross sections

Elastic scattering cross sections are shown to be quite sensitive to ground state reorientation amplitudes and cross sections. These effects are dramatically evident when comparing scattering from even-even nuclei with that from high-spin odd-A nuclei, and may affect choices of potentials for odd versus even nuclei. Neutron scattering data from ²³⁵U and ²³⁸U are analyzed via coupled channels methods. The diffraction minima in elastic scattering from ²³⁵U are found to be dominated by reorientation cross sections. The majority of this reorientation is shown to follow from second order virtual nuclear excitations rather than proceeding through amplitudes for direct ground state reorientation.     

Partons and their applications at high energies

We discuss Feynman's parton model for deep inelastic weak or electromagnetic processes as an application of the impulse approximation to elementary particle interactions. The special features and conditions permitting this application are elaborated upon in some detail including the dependence of the parton model and the impulse treatment on an appropriate choice of coordinate frames and the role of the very soft or “wee” partons. Application of the parton model is made to the calculation of the cross section for massive lepton pair production in very high energy hadron-hadron collisions and compared with experiment. The conjectured role of light cone singularities in describing this and the other deep inelastic amplitudes is also discussed.     

A recurrence relation for the polarization in elastic p-p scattering in the framework of a parton model

Recent studies have shown that it is possible to account for the general features of large angle elastic proton-proton differential cross sections in a model where each constituent of one proton scatters from at least one constituent of the other proton in such a way that all constituents remain near their mass shell. Each of the parton-parton scatters is assumed to occur at approximately the same angle, so that the outgoing partons can easily recombine to form the two final state protons. In the present article we show that such a model, with additional assumptions regarding the scattering mechanisms at small |t|, leads to a non-trivial recurrence relation which is consistent with the structure recently reported in the high energy p-p polarization and fixed angle differential cross section.

Spin asymmetries for large-pt jet production in two-photon processes

Relying on the hard scattering formalism we estimate cross sections and spin asymmetries for large-p_t jet production from two-photon processes in collisions of electrons and positrons of definite helicity states. We use distribution functions of polarized partons in polarized electrons obtained in a modified leading logarithmic approximation as well as spin-dependent parton cross sections according to lowest-order QCD calculations. Detecting at least one forward or backward hadronic jet, topologies of jets can be observed different from the 2 large p_t production.     

Soft-gluon cancellation,phases and factorization with initial-state partons

We outline arguments for the cancellation of soft singularities in transition probabilities and parton distributions with incoming partons and Wilson lines, and with observed jets or heavy colored particles in the final states. We show the cancellation of Glauber gluons and divergent phases, relating finite remainders to corrections that arise from restrictions on final states in factorized cross sections.     

TMDs studied in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering at HERMES

On the Test of Pomeron Structure (Parton Distribution Functions)

The contributions of the double Pomeron exchange to the J/ψ production inhigh energy p+p(p) collisions are calculated using different models for parton distribution functions inside the Pomeron(P). For the Ingelman-Schlein model in which gluons dominate in partons, the cross sections in high energy increase smoothly with as In²S or InS. The total cross section σ(S) is about 10²－10³nb in the TeV energies. For the Donnachie-Landshoff model in which the P are considered as something like isoscalar photons with C=+1 the cross section behavior increasing with energy is a little bit complicated. In same energy range, the cross sections are only 1-3nb which are smaller than that of the former case by 2—3 order of magnitude. So, if we assume the parameters of the above models are reliable, then these J/ψ production processes should be a good place for testing these models.
