Detailed quantum-chromodynamic predictions for high-pTprocesses
1978
High-${p}_{T}$ single-particle inclusive cross section calculations are presented for the CERN ISR and ISABELLE energy ranges, taking into account all lowest-order hard-scattering subprocesses required by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The input quark and gluon distribution and fragmentation functions were determined from analyses of deep-inelastic lepton data and were subject to various theoretical constraints such as sum rules and SU(3) symmetry. We thoroughly discuss the effects of the individual contributions from fermionic and gluonic subprocesses, as well as those effects stemming from QCD scaling violations in parton distributions and/or fragmentation functions. In particular, the inc…
A QCD calculation of the pion-nucleon sigma-term
1988
We present the results of a QCD sum rule calculation of the pion-nucleon sigma-term. Depending on the uncertain value of the four quark condensate we obtain σ=10...40 MeV.
Higher-order effects for the coupling constant in asymptotically free theories
1977
It is shown that the two-loop contribution to the Callan-Symanzik $\ensuremath{\beta}$ function leads to an effective coupling constant which may be quite different from the value obtained from the standard one-loop calculation. This correction is larger than that due to finite quark masses. Possible implications for the comparison between asymptotically free theories and experiment are discussed.

Scattering and gluon emission in a color field : a light-front Hamiltonian approach
2021
We develop a numerical method to nonperturbatively study scattering and gluon emission of a quark from a colored target using a light-front Hamiltonian approach. The target is described as a classical color field, as in the color glass condensate effective theory. The Fock space of the scattering system is restricted to the |q⟩+|qg⟩ sectors, but the time evolution of this truncated system is solved exactly. This method allows us to study the interplay between coherence and multiple scattering in gluon emission. It could be applied both to studying subeikonal effects in high-energy scattering and to understanding jet quenching in a hot plasma.
Quantum light depolarization: the phase-space perspective
2008
Quantum light depolarization is handled through a master equation obtained by coupling dispersively the field to a randomly distributed atomic reservoir. This master equation is solved by transforming it into a quasiprobability distribution in phase space and the quasiclassical limit is investigated.
Queuing transitions in the asymmetric simple exclusion process
2003
Stochastic driven flow along a channel can be modeled by the asymmetric simple exclusion process. We confirm numerically the presence of a dynamic queuing phase transition at a nonzero obstruction strength, and establish its scaling properties. Below the transition, the traffic jam is macroscopic in the sense that the length of the queue scales linearly with system size. Above the transition, only a power-law shaped queue remains. Its density profile scales as $\delta \rho\sim x^{-\nu}$ with $\nu={1/3}$, and $x$ is the distance from the obstacle. We construct a heuristic argument, indicating that the exponent $\nu={1/3}$ is universal and independent of the dynamic exponent of the underlying…
Quantum control and long-range quantum correlations in dynamical Casimir arrays
2015
The recent observation of the dynamical Casimir effect in a modulated superconducting waveguide, coronating thirty years of world-wide research, empowered the quantum technology community with a powerful tool to create entangled photons on-chip. In this work we show how, going beyond the single waveguide paradigm using a scalable array, it is possible to create multipartite nonclassical states, with the possibility to control the long-range quantum correlations of the emitted photons. In particular, our finite-temperature theory shows how maximally entangled $NOON$ states can be engineered in a realistic setup. The results here presented open the way to new kinds of quantum fluids of light,…
Closed form for two-photon free–free transition matrix elements
2000
Abstract Two-photon free–free transitions happen in the multiphoton ionization with more than one excess photon and in bremsstralung. Up to now, the configuration space free–free transition amplitudes have not been written in closed form. We propose a modified Coulomb Green’s function (CGF) Sturmian expansion which allows one to obtain expressions for two-photon radial transition matrix elements in the closed form which are easy to continue analytically to calculate free–free transitions in H.
Valence electronic structure of polystyrenes with different tacticities : how to go (or not to go) too far ? A joint theoretical and experimental app…
1990
Abstract Monochromadzed Al-K α XPS spectra from iso- and syndiotacdc polystyrenes are analyzed with the help of theoretical band structures and densities of states produced from a valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) computation scheme. A discussion of the correlations found between the experimental and theoretical results points out to the potentialities but also to the limits of both methods.
