It has been proposed that photon-exchange effects in atom-photon interactions could lead to greatly enhanced optical nonlinearities. These might have widespread application (e.g. quantum information). Here we demonstrate experimentally that…
When mid-infrared light interacts with nanoscale polar dielectric structures optical phonon propagation cannot be ignored, leading to a rich nonlocal phenomenology which we have only recently started to uncover. In properly crafted…
The light pollution levels experienced at any given site generally depend on a wide number of artificial light sources distributed throughout the surrounding territory. Since photons can travel long distances before being scattered by the…
Fourier transforming the virtual photon transverse momentum in \gamma*(q)+N \to f processes allows new insight into hadron dynamics as a function of impact parameter b. I discuss how previous analyses of charge density based on elastic and…
We present a calculation of the generalized parton distributions of the photon using overlaps of photon light-front wave functions.
Diffractive parton distributions of the proton are determined from fits to diffractive data from HERA. In addition to the twist--2 contribution, the twist--4 contribution from longitudinally polarised virtual photons is considered, which is…
It is found that the differential cross section of photon-photon scattering is a function of the degree of polarization entanglement of the two-photon state. A reduced, general expression for the differential cross section of photon-photon…
We previously suggested that photon exchange interactions could be used to produce nonlinear effects at the two-photon level, and similar effects have been experimentally observed by Resch et al. (quant-ph/0306198). Here we note that photon…
We compute the cross section for leptoproduction of the real photon off the nucleon, which is sensitive to the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude with power accuracy. Our considerations go beyond the leading twist and involve the…
We present a short overview over the different contributions to high energy photon photon scattering and explore the possibilities of tuning the sizes of the scattered objects by changing the virtuality of the photons. We compare the…
In the present paper we address double parton scattering (DPS) in quasi-real photon-proton interactions. By using electromagnetic and hadronic models of the photon light cone wave functions, we compute the so-called effective cross-section,…
We show how and why the small distance ("hard") interaction, calculable in perturbative QCD, provides a mass cutoff in Gribov's formula for photon-proton collisions. This enables us to find a new and more restrictive bound for this process,…
The theorem is proved, determining the forward scatterring amplitude of virtual longitudinal photon at zero energy on any hadronic target in the limit of small photon virtualities $Q^2$. The theorem is strict, based only on Lorenz and gauge…
Linear media are predicted to exist whose relative permiability is an operator in the space of quantum states of light. Such media are characterized by a photon statistics--dependent refractive index. This indicates a new type of optical…
We introduce operator definitions for virtual photon fragmentation functions, which are needed for reliable calculations of Drell-Yan transverse momentum ($Q_T$) distributions when $Q_T$ is much larger than the invariant mass $Q$. We derive…
Measurements of dijet cross sections for virtual photons are presented as a function of $\xo$, the fraction of the virtual photon energy invested in the production of the dijet system, using the ZEUS detector. Comparisons to QCD predictions…
This paper shows that the approach based on Gribov's ideas for the photon-proton interaction, is able to describe the experimental data over a wide range of photon virtualities $Q^2 = 0 - 100 GeV^2$ and energies $\sqrt{s} = W = 3 - 300…
High-frequency photons traveling in plasma exhibit a linear polarizability that can influence the dispersion of linear plasma waves. We present a detailed calculation of this effect for Langmuir waves as a characteristic example. Two…
The photon structure function is a useful testing ground for QCD. It is perturbatively computable apart from a contribution from what is usually called the hadronic component of the photon. There have been many proposals for this…
It has been found in recent heavy-ion experiments that the second and the third flow harmonics of direct photons are larger than most theoretical predictions. In this study, I construct effective parton phase-space distributions with…
