We determine self-consistently the hard-quark and hard-gluon modes in hot QCD. The damping-rate part in resummed hard-quark or hard-gluon propagators, rather than the thermal-mass part, plays the dominant role.
We deduce momentum sum rules for the parton structure functions of a photon target. Non-perturbative QCD contribution to the momentum sum rules follows from conservation of the energy--momentum tensor and it is calculated through the…

The possibility of a subdominant component of dark matter dissipating energy could lead to dramatic new phenomenology such as the formation of a dark disk. One rigorous way to assess this possibility and settle the debate on its feasibility…
