We derive the analogue of the QCD low energy theorems for the scalar and pseudoscalar gluonic correlators in nuclear matter. We find that the scalar correlations are depleted while the pseudoscalar correlations are enhanced to leading order…
We consider the scattering of two color dipoles (e.g., heavy quarkonium states) at low energy - a QCD analog of Van der Waals interaction. Even though the couplings of the dipoles to the gluon field can be described in perturbation theory,…
The Global Colour Model(GCM) of QCD is used to extract low energy quark-gluon processes from experimental data. The resultant effective quark-quark coupling correlator is compared with that of Jain and Munczek, and with the combined lattice…
Single-spin asymmetries were long thought to vanish in high-energy scattering processes because of their specific time-reversal behavior. Time-reversal-odd phenomena, however, appear naturally when one includes effects of intrinsic…

The Lorentz-invariant gluon correlation functions, corresponding to scalar and pseudo-scalar glueballs, are calculated for Kogan's and Kovner's variational ansatz for the pure SU(N) Yang-Mills wavefunctional. One expects that only one…

The momentum diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark in a hot QCD plasma can be extracted as a transport coefficient related to the correlator of two colour-electric fields dressing a Polyakov loop. We determine the perturbative…

The quark gap equation under the rainbow truncation, with two versions of a phenomenological one-gluon exchange interaction and in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is considered. It is argued that in order to describe the quark…
