We extend our previous work on the energy loss of a heavy fermion in a QED plasma to the Quark-Gluon plasma, using the same Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collisional kernel. The calculation is carried out with a theoretical method where the…
The calculation of self-energy corrections to the electron bands of a metal requires the evaluation of the intraband contribution to the polarizability in the small-q limit. When neglected, as in standard GW codes for semiconductors and…
We analyse the possible existence of non-perturbative contributions in heavy $\bar Q Q$ systems ($\bar Q$ and $Q$ need not have the same flavour) which cannot be expressed in terms of local condensates. Starting from QCD, with well defined…
A new scheme for the numerical evaluation of the one-loop self-energy correction to all orders in Z \alpha is presented. The scheme proposed inherits the attractive features of the standard potential-expansion method but yields a…
Minimally doubled fermions have been proposed as a cost-effective realization of chiral symmetry at non-zero lattice spacing. Using lattice perturbation theory at one loop, we study their renormalization properties. Specifically, we…
The loop expansion is applied to a chiral effective hadronic lagrangian; with the techniques of Infrared Regularization, it is possible to separate out the short-range contributions and to write them as local products of fields that are…
We use the recently obtained two-loop hard thermal loop perturbation theory thermodynamics functions of a plasma of quarks and gluons to compute the diagonal second- and fourth-order quark number susceptibilities. The two-loop hard thermal…
A local and renormalizable version of a modified PQCD introduced in previous works is presented. The construction indicates that it could be equivalent to massless QCD. The case in which only quark condensate effects are retained is…
We present results of a perturbative matching calculation performed at one-loop for heavy-light currents. We use the Fermilab action for the heavy quarks, the Asqtad action for the light quarks, and an improved gluon action. We also present…
We use linear response analysis and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to derive the energy loss of a heavy quark in the SU(2) classical Coulomb plasma in terms of the $l=1$ monopole and non-static structure factor. The result is valid for…
The energy eigenvalues with any l-states and mass of heavy quark- antiquark system (quarkonium) are obtained by using Asymptotic Iteration Method in the view of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, in which the quarks are considered as…
We consider the problem of determining the matrix element of the heavy quark kinetic energy operator between $\Lambda_b$ baryonic states by three point function QCD sum rules in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. We discuss the main features…
We study the finite supersymmetric loop corrections to fermion masses and mixing matrices in the generic MSSM. In this context the effects of non-decoupling chirally-enhanced self-energies are studied beyond leading order in perturbation…
Second order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ corrections to the heavy quark production cross-section due to massless quarks and coloured scalars are calculated for all energies above threshold. Based on the method introduced in this letter also the…
The momentum dependence of the quark self energy gives a physically motivated and consistent regularization of both the real and imaginary parts of the quark loop contribution to the meson action. We show that the amplitudes for anomalous…
We calculate fragmentation functions for a b-quark to fragment into color-singlet P-wave bound states $\bar c b$ in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory with the exact account of $O(1/m_b)$ corrections. We demonstrate an agreement of the…
The variational approach to QCD in Coulomb gauge is revisited. By assuming the non-Abelian Coulomb potential to be given by the sum of its infrared and ultraviolet parts, i.e.~by a linearly rising potential and an ordinary Coulomb…
In the presence of spacetime torsion, the momentum components do not commute; therefore, in quantum field theory, summation over the momentum eigenvalues will replace integration over the momentum. In the Einstein--Cartan theory of gravity,…
Under a rescaling of longitudinal coordinates $x^{0,3}$ by a factor $\lambda$ which is taken to zero, the classical QCD action simplifies dramatically. This is the high-energy limit, as $\lambda$ is of order $s^{-1/2}$, where $s$ is the…
After a brief introduction of formal and phenomenological progresses in the study of the high-energy limit of perturbative QCD, we present arguments supporting the statement that the inclusive emission of Higgs bosons or heavy-flavored…
