Analytic Scattering Amplitudes for QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
By analytically continuing QCD scattering amplitudes through specific complexified momenta, one can study and learn about the nature and the consequences of factorization and unitarity. In some cases, when coupled with the largest time equation and gauge invariance requirement, this approach leads to recursion relations, which greatly simplify the construction of multi-gluon scattering amplitudes. The setting for this discussion is in the space-cone gauge.

Two-Loop QCD Helicity Amplitudes for (2+1)-Jet Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We derive the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for the processes lq → lqg (lq̄→ lq̄g) and lg → lqq̄, which are the partonic reactions yielding (2+1)-jet final states in deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering. The amplitudes are obtained by analytic continuation of the known helicity amplitudes for ee → qq̄g. We separate the infrared divergent and finite parts of the amplitudes using Catani’s infr...
متن کاملOne-loop QCD corrections to quark scattering at NNLO∗
We present the O(α s) virtual QCD corrections to unlike-quark qq̄ → q q̄ and like-quark scattering qq̄ → qq̄ due to the interference of one-loop amplitudes with one-loop amplitudes. The structure of the infrared divergences agrees with that predicted by Catani. The results are expressed in an analytic form so that the relevant expressions for crossed scattering processes can be obtained in a straig...
متن کاملAnalytic parametrizations of the non-perturbative Pomeron and QCD-inspired models
We consider several classes of analytic parametrizations of hadronic scattering amplitudes, and compare their predictions to all available forward data (pp, p̄p, πp,Kp, γp, γγ,Σp). Although these parametrizations are very close for √ s ≥ 9 GeV, it turns out that they differ markedly at low energy, where a universal Pomeron term ∼ ln s enables one to extend the fit down to √ s = 4 GeV. 1 The COMP...
متن کاملAnalytic Methods in Nonperturbative QCD
Recently developed analytic methods in the framework of the Field Cor-relator Method are reviewed in this series of four lectures and results of calculations are compared to lattice data and experiment. Recent lattice data demonstrating the Casimir scaling of static quark interaction strongly support the FCM and leave very little space for all other theoretical models, e.g. instatnton gas/liqui...
متن کاملDissolving N = 4 loop amplitudes into QCD tree amplitudes.
We use the infrared consistency of one-loop amplitudes in N = 4 Yang-Mills theory to derive a compact analytic formula for a tree-level next-to-next-to-maximal helicity-violating gluon scattering amplitude in QCD, the first such formula known. We argue that the infrared conditions, coupled with recent advances in calculating one-loop box coefficients, can give a new tool for computing tree-leve...
