相关论文: Factorization of Hard Processes in QCD

Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…

I discuss NRQCD and, in particular, the NRQCD factorization formalism for quarkonium production and decay. I also summarize the current status of the comparison between the predictions of NRQCD factorization and experimental measurements.

The factorization theorems of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) apply equally well to most simple quantum field theories that require renormalization but where direct calculations are much more straightforward. Working with these simpler…

With nuclear targets comes a new scale into the pQCD description of hard processes - the saturation scale. In the saturation regime, the familiar linear k_\perp-factorization breaks down and must be replaced by a nonlinear…

These lectures describe the most important theoretical methods in b-physics. We discuss the formalism of effective weak Hamiltonians, heavy quark effective theory, the heavy quark expansion for inclusive decays of b-hadrons and, finally,…

We establish a duality for two factorization questions, one for general positive definite (p.d) kernels $K$, and the other for Gaussian processes, say $V$. The latter notion, for Gaussian processes is stated via Ito-integration. Our…

A formalism proposed to study transverse Lambda polarization in unpolarized hadronic processes, based on a generalized pQCD factorization theorem, is extended to semi-inclusive DIS. Analytical expressions and examples of numerical estimates…

We review the basic concepts of all-order calculations in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and their application to collider phenomenology. We start by discussing the factorization properties of QCD amplitudes and cross-sections in the soft and…

I review the status of today's theoretical description of Standard Model processes relevant for Tevatron and LHC analyses, and of the tools that are used in phenomenological studies. I will also discuss a few recent ideas to further refine…

In this series of lectures, I shall begin with the current investigations on phenomenology of hadron dynamics to demonstrate the importance of solving hadronic bound states within the framework of light-front (LF) QCD. Then, I will describe…

Developments in QCD at finite density are reviewed. I begin by discussing some new algorithms which have been applied to other theories with sign problems. Then I discuss the method of analytic continuation in QCD using a series expansion…

We review the DPD sum rules and establish their validity to all orders in QCD. This is done using a diagrammatic approach and light-front perturbation theory. In the process we furthermore investigate the QCD evolution of double parton…

We prove functorial weak factorization of projective birational morphisms of regular quasi-excellent schemes in characteristic 0 broadly based on the existing line of proof for varieties. From this general functorial statement we deduce…

I give a brief introduction to the physics of generalized parton distributions and distribution amplitudes. I then report on the status of the calculation of radiative corrections for the exclusive processes where these quantities occur.

The aim of this note is to give some factorization formulas for different versions of the Macdonald polynomials when the parameter t is specialized at roots of unity, generalizing those existing for Hall-Littlewood functions.

We develop the perturbative QCD formalism for inclusive heavy hadron decays. Transverse degrees of freedom of partons are introduced to facilitate the factorization of the heavy hadron decays.

In this talk we summarize some recent developments in perturbative QCD and their application to particle physics phenomenology.

In this article we review recent advances in the area of QCD factorization. We begin with a brief outline of QCD factorization, as well as a description of some recent results regarding B-->VV decays. We examine what is necessary at NLO,…

We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…

We review the electromagnetic form factor of heavy quarks with emphasis on the QCD radiative corrections at two-loop order in the perturbative expansion. We discuss important properties of the heavy-quark form factor such as its…
