Exclusive Two - Photon Processes in Quantum Chromodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Leading order perturbative QCD predictions are given for the twophoton processes yy + ~71, 6, and pp at large momentum transfer. As we have shown in a series of recent papers,l the predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics can be extended to the whole domain of large momentum transfer exclusive processes. The results lead to a comprehensive new range of rigorous predictions of QCD which test both the scaling and spin properties of quark and gluon interactions at large momentum transfer as well as the detailed structure of hadronic wavefunctions at short distances. The two-photon reactions (M = n,K,p,o,...) at large s = (kl+k2)2

Two-Photon Exclusive Processes in Quantum Chromodynamics*
QCD predictions for 77 annihilation into single mesons, meson pairs, and baryon pairs are reviewed. Two-photon exclusive processes provide the most sensitive and practical measure of the distribution amplitudes, and thus a critical confrontation between QCD and experiment. Both the angular distribution and virtual photon mass dependence of these amplitudes are sensitive to the shapes of the r$(...
متن کاملQuantum Chromodynamics and the Dynamics of Hadrons
The application of perturbative quantum chromodynamics to the dynamics of hadrons at short distance is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role of the hadronic bound state. A number of new applications are discussed, including (a) the modification to QCD scaling violations in structure functions due to hadronic binding; 6) a discussion of coherence and binding corrections to the gluon and...

متن کاملQcd Physics Opportunities in Low-energy Electron-positron Annihilation∗
I survey a number of interesting tests of quantum chromodynamics at the amplitude level which can be carried out in electron-positron annihilation and in photon-photon collisions at low energy. Some of the tests require e+e− center of mass energy as small as √ s = 2 GeV. Other tests which involve a spectrum of energies can be carried out advantageously at high energy facilities using the radiat...
متن کاملEXCLUSIVE PROCESSES AND THE EXCLUSIVE - INCLUSIVE CONNECTION IN QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS Stanley
Although the structure of large momentum transfer inclusive reactions is now well understood in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, exclusive processes involving large transfer of momentum have received relatively little attention since they involve detailed, explicit features of hadronic wavefunctions. On the other hand, the dimensional counting132 ansatz, which is based on the premise that t...
