It is shown that the helicity amplitudes A_1/2 and S_1/2 in the gamma N -> N(1535) reaction, can be well related by S_1/2 = -\frac{\sqrt{1+\tau}}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{M_S^2-M^2}{2 M_S Q} A_1/2 in the region Q^2 > 2 GeV^2, where M and M_S are the…
We present an alternative approach for calculating helicity amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this method one can easily obtain covariant expressions for the helicity amplitudes. The final…
The decay Delta^+ --> p gamma is studied in the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes is determined to be A_{3/2}/A_{1/2} = \sqrt{3} + O(1/N_c^2). Equivalently, the ratio E2/M1 of the multipole amplitudes is predicted…
The form factors, as well as the helicity amplitudes for the $\gamma^\ast N \to N(1535)$ transition are calculated in framework of the QCD light cone sum rules. The contamination coming from diagonal transition is eliminated by considering…
The helicity amplitudes for the transitions $N-S_{11}$ and $N-S_{31}$ are presented. The amplitudes have been obtained within our front-form CQM model, based on hadron eigenstates of a relativistic mass operator and CQ current with Dirac…
It is shown that the helicity amplitudes can be used to describe and analyze the properties of the electromagnetic field in classical and in quantum theory. On the one hand they embody the relativistic content of electromagnetic theory. On…
We applied QCD Light Cone Sum Rules to estimate power corrections to the helicity-conserving amplitude in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to \pi\pi$. We found that above $Q^2 \sim 4$ GeV$^2$ power corrections are numerically small and the…
We develop a formalism, based on spinor-helicity techniques, to generalize the formulation of partial wave unitarity bounds. We discuss unitarity bounds for $N \to M$ (with $N,M \geq 2$) scattering processes -- relevant for high-energy…
The Weyl-van-der-Waerden spinor technique for calculating helicity amplitudes of massive and massless particles is presented in a form that is particularly well suited to a direct implementation in computer algebra. Moreover, we explain how…
We develop the formal tools needed to construct helicity amplitudes for massive gravitino in N=1 SUGRA. We start by considering the helicity states for massive spin-3/2 particles, which involves the solutions of Rarita-Schwinger equation.…
The $\gamma^\ast N \to N(1520)$ transition has a property that differs from the other low-lying nucleon resonance amplitudes: the magnitude of the transverse helicity amplitudes.The transition helicity amplitudes are defined in terms of…
The helicity amplitudes $A^{1/2}_n$ and $A^{3/2}_n$ for the photoexcitation of nucleon resonances off neutrons are determined in a multi-channel partial-wave analysis.
We describe a general method that enables us to obtain all the singular terms of helicity amplitudes of n-parton processes at one loop. The algorithm uses helicity amplitudes at tree level and simple color algebra. We illustrate the method…
We employ the worldline formalism to derive a series representation of the low-energy limit of the N -photon amplitude in a constant background field for both scalar and spinor QED. The amplitudes are then written in terms of a single…
Helicity amplitudes are the fundamental ingredients of many QCD calculations for multi-leg processes. We describe how these can seamlessly be combined with resummation in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), by constructing a helicity…
We investigate the helicity amplitudes of the $N(1520)$ and $N(1535)$ resonances in the electromagnetic transition process $\gamma^*p\to N^*$, where the $N(1520)$ and $N(1535)$ are assumed to include both the $L=1$ three-quark and $L=0$…
Basing on the Slavnov-Taylor identities, we derive a new prescription to obtain gauge invariant tree-level scattering amplitudes for the process g*g->Ng within high energy factorization. Using the helicity method, we check the formalism up…
An helicity formalism for perturbative calculations is presented. It is based on the formal insertion in spinor lines of a complete set of states built up with unphysical spinors. It is particularly convenient when massive spinors are…
A covariant spectator quark model is applied to study the gamma N -> N*(1535) reaction in the large Q2 region. Starting from the relation between the nucleon and N*(1535) systems, the N*(1535) valence quark wave function is determined…
The predictions of the hypercentral Consituent Quark Model for the nucleon helicity amplitudes are briefly reported. Some future perspectives are also discussed.
