Novel Tests of Quantum Chromodynamics in Electro- Production*
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a number of ways in which single arm and coincident measurements of electroproduction on proton and nuclear targets can test fundamental QCD phenomena and provide constraints on hadronic wavefunctions. The topics include tests of color transparency, predictions for charm production at threshold, formation zone phenomena, and non-additive nuclear effects. We particularly emphasize the need for measurements which probe the short-range structure of hadronic and nuclear wave functions. In addition to the “extrinsic” gluonic and sea-quark contributions associated with radiation from single partons, perturbative QCD predicts an “intrinsic” hardness of the high-mass fluctuations of the wave function. These contributions can dominate heavy particle production at large z in the target fragmentation region and can be further enhanced in nuclear target reactions. Intrinsic hardness can also provide a possible explanation of the anomalous nuclear phenomena referred to as “cumulative production”. -

Testing Quantum Chromodynamics*
The difficulties in isolating specific QCD mechanisms which control hadronic phenomena, and the complications in obtaining quantitative tests of QCD are discussed. A number of novel QCD effects are reviewed, including heavy quark and higher twist phenomena, initial and final state interactions, direct processesI multiparticle collisions, color filtering, and nuclear target effects. The importan...
متن کاملIn Nuclei as a Probe of Qcd*
Anti-proton annihilation in a nuclear target can test many novel aspects of quantum chromodynamics. In this talk I discuss a number of interesting features of such processes, including (1) the formation of nuclear-bound quarkonium, (2) tests of color transparency in hard, quasi-elastic nuclear reactions, (3) higher-twist, coherent, and formation zone effects in hard inclusive nuclear reactions,...
متن کاملExclusive Processes: Tests of Coherent QCD Phenomena and Nucleon Substructure at CEBAF
Measurements of exclusive processes such as electroproduction, photoproduction, and Compton scattering are among the most sensitive probes of proton structure and coherent phenomena in quantum chromodynamics. The continuous electron beam at CEBAF, upgraded in laboratory energy to 10–12 GeV, will allow a systematic study of exclusive, semi-inclusive, and inclusive reactions in a kinematic range ...
متن کاملSimulation and Design of an Organic Quantum Film Electrooptic Switch
In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...
