Kaon Distribution Amplitude from Lattice QCD and the Flavor SU(3) Symmetry

Jiunn-Wei Chen, Luchang Jin, Huey-Wen Lin +6

We present the first lattice-QCD calculation of the kaon distribution amplitude using the large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) approach. The momentum-smearing technique has been…

Power corrections to TMD factorization for Z-boson production

I. Balitsky, A. Tarasov

A typical factorization formula for production of a particle with a small transverse momentum in hadron-hadron collisions is given by a convolution of two leading-twist TMD parton…

Mass sensitivity of the three-flavor chiral phase transition

Simon Resch, Fabian Rennecke, Bernd-Jochen Schaefer

The mass sensitivity of the chiral phase transition of QCD with and without axial -symmetry breaking at vanishing and finite quark chemical potential is investigated. To fo…

Collectivity in small systems - Initial state vs. final state effects

Moritz Greif, Carsten Greiner, Björn Schenke +2

Observations of long rang azimuthal correlations in small collision systems (p+p/A) have triggered an enormous excitement in the heavy-ion community. However, it is presently uncle…

Rare Boson Decays to a Hidden Sector

Nikita Blinov, Eder Izaguirre, Brian Shuve

We demonstrate that rare decays of the Standard Model boson can be used to discover and characterize the nature of new hidden-sector particles. We propose new searches for thes…

Gaussian-weighted Parton Quasi-distribution

Tomomi Ishikawa, Luchang Jin, Huey-Wen Lin +4

We propose a revised definition of quasi-distributions within the framework of large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) that improves convergence towards the large-momentum limit. S…

Enhanced di-Higgs Production in the Complex Higgs Singlet Model

S. Dawson, M. Sullivan

We consider the Standard Model extended by the addition of a complex scalar singlet, with no assumptions about additional symmetries of the potential. This model provides for reson…

The Weizsäcker-Williams distribution of linearly polarized gluons (and its fluctuations) at small x

Adrian Dumitru, Vladimir Skokov

The conventional and linearly polarized Weizsäcker-Williams gluon distributions at small x are defined from the two-point function of the gluon field in light-cone gauge. They appe…

Higher order string effects and the properties of the Pomeron

Dmitri Kharzeev, Edward Shuryak, Ismail Zahed

We revisit the description of the Pomeron within the effective string theory of QCD. Using a string duality relation, we show how the static potential maps onto the high-energy sca…

Prompt photon - jet angular correlations at central rapidities in p+A collisions

Sanjin Benić, Adrian Dumitru

Photon-jet azimuthal correlations in proton-nucleus collisions are a promising tool for gaining information on the gluon distribution of the nucleus in the regime of non-linear col…

How the axial anomaly controls flavor mixing among mesons

Francesco Giacosa, Adrian Koenigstein, Robert D. Pisarski

It is well known that because of the axial anomaly in QCD, mesons with are close to eigenstates: the meson is largely a singlet,…

Unified Scenario for Composite Right-Handed Neutrinos and Dark Matter

Hooman Davoudiasl, Pier Paolo Giardino, Ethan T. Neil +1

We entertain the possibility that neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) originate from a common composite dark sector. A minimal effective theory can be constructed based on a dark…

Center phase transition from matter propagators in (scalar) QCD

M. Mitter, M. Hopfer, B. -J. Schaefer +1

Novel order parameters for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition of quenched QCD and fundamentally charged scalar QCD are presented. Similar to the well-known dual condens…

Importance of initial and final state effects for azimuthal correlations in p+Pb collisions

Moritz Greif, Carsten Greiner, Björn Schenke +2

We investigate the relative importance of initial and final state effects on azimuthal correlations of gluons in low and high multiplicity p+Pb collisions. To achieve this, we coup…

Nucleon Axial Radius and Muonic Hydrogen - A New Analysis and Review

Richard J. Hill, Peter Kammel, William J. Marciano +1

Weak capture in muonic hydrogen (H) as a probe of the chiral properties and nucleon structure predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is reviewed. A recent determination of…

versus suppression in proton-nucleus collisions from factorization violating soft color exchanges

Yan-Qing Ma, Raju Venugopalan, Kazuhiro Watanabe +1

We argue that the large suppression of the inclusive cross-section relative to the inclusive cross-section in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions can be attributed to fac…
