The process of exclusive heavy vector meson photoproduction, gamma p -> V p, is studied in the framework of QCD factorization. The mass of the produced meson, V = Upsilon or J/Psi, provides a hard scale for the process. We demonstrate, that…
Results from a recent analysis of the zero-skewness generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for valence quarks are reviewed. The analysis bases on a physically motivated parameterization of the GPDs with a few free parameters adjusted to…
We study the exclusive photoproduction of a photon-meson pair with a large invariant mass, working in the QCD factorisation framework. Explicitly, we consider a $ \rho $-meson or a charged $ \pi $ in the final state. This process gives…
We examine the high energy (Regge) limit of gravitational scattering using a Wilson line approach previously used in the context of non-Abelian gauge theories. Our aim is to clarify the nature of the Reggeization of the graviton and the…
We consider the azimuthal angle dependence in the cross section of the hard leptoproduction of a photon on a nucleon target. We show that this dependence allows to define observables that isolate the twist-two and twist-three sectors in the…
Using the quantum theory of linearized gravity, gravitational interaction differential cross sections of one fermion by another fermion, a photon and a scalar particle are calculated in the fermion rest-frame. Then, according to the…
We develop a quantum description of the resonant interaction between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational waves (GW). We first show that Lorentz invariance together with polarization selection rules forbids any photon-graviton mixing in…
The quantum effective theory of general relativity, independent of the eventual full theory at high energy, expresses graviton-graviton scattering at one loop order O(E^4) with only one parameter, Newton's constant. Dunbar and Norridge have…
The photon is a very interesting object for QCD studies since it has both a pointlike coupling to quarks, which yields a perturbative part of photon's wave function, and a non-perturbative coupling related to the magnetic susceptibility of…
Suitably normalized differential probabilities of one-photon emission in external electromagnetic fields are compared to quantify the transit of nonlinear Compton scattering to linear Compton scattering, described by the Klein-Nishina…
Vacuum polarization in QED in a background gravitational field induces interactions which {\it effectively} modify the classical picture of light rays as the null geodesics of spacetime. After a short introduction on the main aspects of the…
We apply factorization and eikonal methods from gauge theories to scattering amplitudes in gravity. We hypothesize that these amplitudes factor into an IR-divergent soft function and an IR-finite hard function, with the former given by the…
We theoretically investigate a scattering configuration in Compton scattering, in which the orientation of the electron spin is reversed and simultaneously, the photon polarization changes from linear polarization into circular…
In the framework of the model, where the scattering amplitude is determined by the first and second moments of the GPDs, the qualitative description of all existing experimental data at $\sqrt{s} \geq 52.8 $ GeV, including the Coulomb range…
The present experiment exploits the interference between the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and the Bethe-Heitler processes to extract the imaginary part of DVCS amplitudes on the neutron and on the deuteron from the…
The Compton scattering on a charged pion is studied using the dispersion relations. Unknown mass, full width and decay width into \gamma \gamma of the sigma meson are found from a fit to the experimental data for the process \gamma+\gamma…
Compton scattering is a key process shaping spectra formation and accretion flow dynamics in accreting strongly magnetized neutron stars. A strong magnetic field affects the scattering cross section and makes it dependent on photon energy,…
We calculate Compton scattering off an elementary spin 3/2 particle in a recently proposed framework for the description of elementary high spin fields based on the projection onto eigen-subspaces of the Casimir operators of the Poincare…
We investigate the QED Compton process (QEDCS) in $e p \to e \gamma p$ and $e p \to e \gamma X$, together with the major background coming from the virtual Compton scattering (VCS), where the photon is emitted from the hadronic vertex. We…
We study the Compton scattering in the noncommutative counter part of QED (NC QED). Interactions in NC QED have momentum dependent phase factors and the gauge fields have Yang Mills type couplings, this modifies the cross sections and are…
