In QCD hard scattering cross sections, the color content of the underlying hard scattering evolves with a factorization scale. This evolution is controlled by an anomalous dimension matrix, specific to each hard-scattering reaction.…
Color Transparency studies have been since long suggested as a means to study the occurrence and relevance of small size hadronic configurations, predicted within QCD to dominate exclusive scattering processes, by monitoring the passage of…
We investigate the radiative break-up of a highly energetic quark or gluon in a high-temperature QCD plasma. Within an inertial range of momenta $T \ll \omega \ll E$, where $E$ denotes the energy of the original hard parton (jet) and $T$…
Quantum chromodynamics predicts that the interaction between its fundamental constituents, quarks and gluons, can lead to different states of strongly interacting matter, dependent on its temperature and baryon density. We first survey the…
The soft gluon part of a proton wave function is investigated and compared with an onium case. It is argued that at every step of the gluon cascade new color structures appear. Dipole equation kernel emerges when a diquark limit is assumed.
This letter reports the nucleon-nucleon($NN$) interaction obtained from multi-channel, including hidden color channels, coupling quark model calculation. The results show that the hidden color channels coupling provides the intermediate…
Using the approach derived by Caron-Huot and Gale from the BDMPS-Z formalism, we obtain medium-induced parton splitting rates in a Bjorken expanding QCD matter. We compare the rate with the case of a static medium and investigate the impact…
We study the average properties of the gluon cascade generated by an energetic parton propagating through a quark-gluon plasma. We focus on the soft, medium-induced emissions which control the energy transport at large angles with respect…
We establish exactly and uniquely the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator in QCD, not solving explicitly the corresponding dynamical equation of motion. By construction, this structure is an infinite sum over all possible severe…
A typical contribution to a color ordered multi-gluon amplitude, which can split into two weakly correlated two-body gluon scattering amplitudes and may thus contribute to a Double Parton Interaction, is briefly discussed. We find that the…
We discuss the effect of infrared soft gluons on the asymptotic behaviour of the total cross-section. We use a singular but integrable expression for the strong coupling constant in the infrared limit and relate its behaviour to the…
We analyse the high-energy limit of the gluon-gluon scattering amplitude in QCD, and display an intriguing relation between the finite parts of the one-loop gluon impact factor and the finite parts of the two-loop Regge trajectory.
We present a QCD-based model where rescattering between final state partons in deep inelastic scattering leads to events with large rapidity gaps and a leading proton. In the framework of this model the amplitude for multiple gluon…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons collectively called partons, the basic constituents of all nuclear matter. Its non-abelian character manifests in nature in the form of two remarkable…
We pursue the intriguing possibility that larger-size instantons build up diffractive scattering, with the marked instanton-size scale <rho> approximately 0.5 fm being reflected in the conspicuous ``geometrization'' of soft QCD. As an…
The physics of the initial conditions of heavy ion collisions is dominated by the nonlinear gluonic interactions of QCD. These lead to the concepts of parton saturation and the Color Glass Condensate (CGC). We discuss recent progress in…
A "natural" model for the QCD invariant (running) coupling, free of the IR singularity, is proposed. It is based upon the hypothesis of finite gluon mass $ m_{gl}$ existence and, technically, uses an accurate treating of threshold behavior…
We study the modification of the multiplicity distributions in MLLA due to the presence of a QCD medium. The medium is introduced though a multiplicative constant ($f_{med}$) in the soft infrared parts of the kernels of QCD evolution…
A brief overview of the status of color transparency experiments is presented. We report on the first complete calculations of color transparency within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method…
The high density of scattered partons predicted in nuclear collisions at very high energy makes color screening effects significant. We explain how these screening mechanisms may suppress nonperturbative, soft QCD processes, permitting a…
