By finding rare (but not exponentially rare) large-angle deflections of partons within a jet produced in a heavy ion collision, or of such a jet itself, experimentalists can find the weakly coupled short-distance quark and gluon particles…
A common quark potential that captures the essential traits of the QCD quark-gluon dynamics is expected to (i) interpolate between a Coulomb-like potential (associated with one-gluon exchange) and the infinite wall potential (associated…
