Exploring Confinement with Spin

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

A confining gauge theory violates the completeness of asymptotic states held as foundation points of the SS-matrix. Spin-dependent experiments can yield results that appear to violate quantum mechanics. The point is illustrated by violation of the Soffer bound in QCDQCD. Experimental confirmation that the bound is violated would be a discovery of immense importance, sweeping away fundamental assumptions of strong interaction physics held for the past 50 years.
