Nucleon D-term in holographic quantum chromodynamics

A Study of Nucleon Spin Structure from Quantum Chromodynamics

Quantum Chromodynamics

After a brief historical review of the emergence of QCD as the quantum field theory of strong interactions, the basic notions of colour and gauge invariance are introduced leading to the QCD Lagrangian. The second lecture is devoted to perturbative QCD, from tree-level processes to higher-order corrections in renormalized perturbation theory, including jet production in e + e − annihilation , h...

Quantum Chromodynamics *

The classical Lagrangian of chromodynamics, its quantization in the perturbation theory framework, and renormalization form the subject of these lectures. Symmetries of the theory are discussed. The dependence of the coupling constant αs on the renormalization scale μ is considered in detail.

Holographic Deuteron and Nucleon-Nucleon Potential

We compute the potential between a pair of nucleons in the D4-D8 holographic QCD. In the large ’t Hooft coupling limit, λ ≫ 1, the hadronic size of the baryon is small ∼ 1/ √ λMKK , and their interaction with mesons are well approximated by a set of dimension four and five operators. The nucleon-nucleon potential emerges from one-boson exchange picture involving massless pseudo-scalars and an i...

Quantum ChromoDynamics

These lectures on QCD stress the theoretical elements that underlie a wide range of phenomenological studies, particularly gauge invariance, renormalization, factorization and infrared safety. The three parts cover the basics of QCD, QCD at tree level and higher order corrections. Lectures given at the 2004 European School of High-Energy Physics, St. Feliu de Guı́xols, Barcelona, Spain, 30 May –...
