Measuring the Weizsaecker-Williams distribution of linearly polarized gluons at an EIC through dijet azimuthal asymmetries

Adrian Dumitru, Vladimir Skokov, Thomas Ullrich

The production of a hard dijet with small transverse momentum imbalance in semi-inclusive DIS probes the conventional and linearly polarized Weizsaecker-Williams (WW) Transverse M…

Bounds on extra dimensions from micro black holes in the context of the metastable Higgs vacuum

Katherine J. Mack, Robert McNees

We estimate the rate at which collisions between ultra-high energy cosmic rays can form small black holes in models with extra dimensions. If recent conjectures about false vacuum…

Multiparticle Production at Mid-Rapidity in the Color-Glass Condensate

Mauricio Martinez, Matthew D. Sievert, Douglas E. Wertepny

In this paper, we compute a number of cross sections for the production of multiple particles at mid-rapidity in the semi-dilute / dense regime of the color-glass condensate (CGC)…

Systematics of azimuthal anisotropy harmonics in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC from the Color Glass Condensate

Mark Mace, Vladimir V. Skokov, Prithwish Tribedy +1

Simple power counting arguments in the dilute-dense framework of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) Effective Field Theory predict that even and odd azimuthal anisotropy harmonics of…

Parton distributions from nonlocal chiral SU(3) effective theory. I. Splitting functions

Y. Salamu, Chueng-Ryong Ji, W. Melnitchouk +2

We present a new formulation of pseudoscalar meson loop corrections to nucleon parton distributions within a nonlocal covariant chiral effective field theory, including contributio…

Does shape matter? v_2 vs eccentricity in small x gluon production

Alex Kovner, Vladimir V. Skokov

We study analytically and numerically effects of spatial eccentricity of the projectile shape on the second flow harmonic in inclusive gluon production in p-A collisions in the CGC…

Interpolating Quantum Electrodynamics between Instant and Front Forms

Chueng-Ryong Ji, Ziyue Li, Bailing Ma +1

The instant form and the front form of relativistic dynamics proposed by Dirac in 1949 can be linked by an interpolation angle parameter spanning between the instant form dynam…

QCD equation of state matched to lattice data and exhibiting a critical point singularity

Paolo Parotto, Marcus Bluhm, Debora Mroczek +6

We construct a family of equations of state for QCD in the temperature range 30 MeV 800 MeV and in the chemical potential range 450 MeV. These equatio…

Spin-1 particles and perturbative QCD

J. P. B. C. de Melo, T. Frederico, Chueng -R. Ji

Due to the angular condition in the light-front dynamics (LFD), the extraction of the electromagnetic form factors for spin-1 particles can be uniquely determined taking into accou…
