The electromagnetic scenario for Higgs production in large colliders

Description: We outline the formalism required to calculate coherent pair production from electromagnetic fields. Applications are made to the production of the Higgs boson at large colliders, with particular attention to the problem of discriminating against backgrounds. Electromagnetic production does indeed appear to be a competitive probe of the symmetry-breaking sector. 14 refs., 17 figs., 2 tabs.

Electromagnetic wave scattering from magnetic fluctuations in tokamaks

Description: Cross sections are calculated for electromagnetic wave scattering and mode transformation from magnetic and density fluctuations in the vicinity of the principal electron cutoffs and resonances in a homogeneous plasma. For the special case of scattering perpendicular to the magnetic field, density fluctuations scatter ordinary to ordinary and extraordinary to extraordinary modes -- but cannot transform these modes. On the other hand, magnetic fluctuations perpendicular to the field can transfor… more

Segregation of quarks within the neutron

Description: Measurements of the nucleon form factor and structure function seem to indicate an inhomogeneous distribution of flavor, charge and spin within the nucleon. It is argued that the ordinary three-quark model with a spin-spin force of the type suggested by QCD can explain the inhomogeneity as seen at different resolutions. This agreement suggests a specific bound quark picture of the nucleon structure with a positive core of u and d quarks in a spin-O state of ms radius 0.17 {plus minus} 0.01 fm{s… more

Chiral perturbation theory with nucleons

Description: I review the constraints posed on the interactions of pions, nucleons and photons by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry of QCD. The framework to perform these calculations, chiral perturbation theory, is briefly discussed in the meson sector. The method is a simultaneous expansion of the Greens functions in powers of external moments and quark masses around the massless case, the chiral limit. To perform this expansion, use is made of a phenomenological Lagrangian which encodes the Ward-i… more

Spin observables and electromagnetic excitations of nucleon resonances

The neutral kaon program at Fermilab and recent E731 results

Measuring the quark contribution to the proton spin through. nu. p yields. nu. p

Description: The LSND (Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector) experiment will be performed at LAMPF in the next several years. The main goal of the experiment is to search for {nu}{sub {mu}}-{nu}{sub e} oscillations with high sensitivity; however, an increasingly important by-product of this search is to measure {nu}p {yields} {nu}p elastic scattering and determine the strange quark contribution, {Delta}s, to the spin of the proton. With the 800-MeV proton energy of LAMPF, neutrinos are produced from pion d… more

Heavy-quark physics in quantum chromodynamics

Description: Heavy quarks can expose new symmetries and novel phenomena in QCD not apparent in ordinary hadronic systems. In these lectures I discuss the use of effective-Lagrangian and light-cone Fock methods to analyze exclusive heavy hadron decays such as {Upsilon} {yields} p{bar p} and B {yields} {pi}{pi}, and also to derive effective Schroedinger and Dirac equations for heavy quark systems. Two contributions to the heavy quark structure functions of the proton and other light hadrons are identified: an… more

Chiral symmetry, axial anomaly and the structure of hot QCD

Description: This lecture is composed of three parts. (1) Heavy quark and gluon contents of light hadrons, (II) anomalous gluon content of the nucleon, and (III) hot and dense QCD. Non-valence structures of nucleon due to the OZI violation are extensively discussed in (I) and (II), and non-perturbative aspects of the quark-gluon plasma are reviewed in (III). 41 refs.

QCD Sum Rule Calculation of the Isgur-Wise Form Factor

Description: Within the QCD sum rule approach, we develop a formalism that enables one to calculate the form factors of the heavy-light mesons in the m(sub)Q -> infinity limit. It is shown that the behaviour of the universal Isgur-Wise form factor is determined by the quark propagation function in imaginary time.

The axial anomaly and the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry

Description: Using the quark triangle diagram for the Adler-Bell-Jackiw axial anomaly, we calculate the form factor for the {gamma}{sup *}{pi}{sup 0}{yields}{gamma} transition. This form factor depends on the quark mass, and we predict the right behavior with m{sub q}{approx_equal}250 MeV, the same quark mass generated by the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry through a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio mechanism.

Electromagnetic properties of the pion as a composite nambu-goldstone boson

Nonlocal Condensates and QCD Sum Rules for the Pion Form Factor

Description: We extend the QCD sum rule analysis of the pion electromagnetic form factor F(sub)pi(Q^2) into the region of moderately large momentum transfers 3GeV^2 < Q^2 < 10 GeV^2, where one should take into account the effects due to nonzero average virtuality of the vacuum quarks and gluons.

Current conservation and electromagnetic interaction currents for non-relativistic systems

Description: It is shown how to construct non-relativistic interaction currents which satisfy current conservation. The construction permits the use of different electromagnetic form factors for the pion, nucleon, and contact contributions, and therefore also permits the use of either G{sub E} of F{sub 1}. The numerical importance of this freedom for calculations of the electromagnetic form factors of {sup 3}He is studied, and found to be significant in some cases.
