On the basis of the closed-time path formalism of non-equilibrium quantum field theory, we derive the real-time quantum dynamics of heavy quark systems. Even though our primary goal is the description of heavy quarkonia, our method allows a…
Soft components of the light cone wave-function of a fast moving projectile hadron is computed in perturbation theory to third order in QCD coupling constant. At this order, the Fock space of the soft modes consists of one-gluon, two-gluon,…
A fundamental goal in QCD is to understand the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark,…
We revisit the problem of quark production in high energy heavy ion collisions, at leading order in $\alpha_s$ in the color glass condensate framework. In this first paper, we setup the formalism and express the quark spectrum in terms of a…
