Reduced Nuclear Amplitudes in Quantum Chromodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new formalism which systematically accounts for nucleon compositeness in nuclear scattering amplitudes, consistent-with quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and covariance. Reduced gauge-invariant nuclear amplitudes are defined which have elementary QCD scaling properties. The procedure is applied to the photodisintegration and electrodisintegration of the deuteron as a test of nuclear chromodynamics and as a method to isolate contributions of dibaryon resonances.

Hadronic and Nuclear Phenomena in .- Quantum Chromodynamics*
Many of the key issues in understanding quantum chromodynamics involves processes at intermediate energies. We discuss a range of hadronic and nuclear . . _-. phenomena-exclusive processes, color transparency, hidden color degrees of freedom in nuclei, reduced nuclear amplitudes, jet coalescence, formation zone effects, hadron helicity selection rules, spin correlations, higher twist effects, a...
متن کاملThe Synthesis of Quantum Chromodynamics and Nuclear Physics
The asymptotic freedom behavior of quantum chromodynamics allows the rigorous calculation of hadronic and nuclear amplitudes at short distances using perturbative methods. The implications of QCD for large momentum transfer nuclear form factors and scattering processes, as well as for the structure of nuclear wavefunctions and nuclear interactions at short distances are discussed. The necessity...
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 کاملThe-impact of Qcd and Light-cone Quantum Mechanics on Nuclear Physics*
We discuss a number of novel applications of Quantum Chromodynamics to nuclear structure and dynamics, such as the reduced -amplitude formalism for exclusive nuclear amplitudes. We particularly emphasize the importance of light-cone Hamiltonian and Fock State methods as a tool for describing the wavefunctions of composite relativistic many-body systems and their interactions. We also show that ...
متن کاملTopics in Nuclear Chromodynamics: Color Transparency and Hadronization in the Nucleus*
The nucleus plays two complimentary roles in quantum chromodynamics: 1. A nuclear target can be used as a control medium or background field to modify or probe quark and gluon subprocesses. Some novel examples a.re color trunsparency, the predicted transparency of the nucleus to hadrons participating in high momentum transfer exclusive reactions, and formation zone phenomena, the absence of har...
