Parton Densities in Quantum Chromodynamics Gauge Invariance, Path-dependence and Wilson Lines


Free Download Igor Olegovich Cherednikov, "Parton Densities in Quantum Chromodynamics: Gauge Invariance, Path-dependence and Wilson Lines "
English | ISBN: 3110439395 | 2016 | 226 pages | EPUB | 37 MB
The purpose of this book is to give a systematic pedagogical exposition of the quantitative analysis of Wilson lines and gauge-invariant correlation functions in quantum chromodynamics. Using techniques from the previous volume (Wilson Lines in Quantum Field Theory, 2014), an ab initio methodology is developed and practical tools for its implementation are presented. Emphasis is put on the implications of gauge invariance and path-dependence properties of transverse-momentum dependent parton density functions. The latter are associated with the QCD factorization approach to semi-inclusive hadronic processes, studied at currently operating and planned experimental facilities.
