Confinement Phenomenology in the Bethe-Salpeter Equation

M. Bhagwat, M. A. Pichowsky, P. C. Tandy

We consider the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in Euclidean metric for a qbar-q vector meson in the circumstance where the dressed quark propagators have time-like complex…

and W transverse momentum spectra at the LHC

Xiaofei Zhang, George Fai

We discuss the transverse momentum distribution of and gauge bosons at the LHC with TeV for pp collisions and with TeV for Pb+Pb collisions…

J^PC Exotic Mesons from the Bethe-Salpeter Equation

C. J. Burden, M. A. Pichowsky

Masses for vector 1--, axialvector 1+-, 1++, and exotic-vector 1-+ mesons are calculated within a quantum field theoretic framework based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations using a m…

Z Production as a Test of Nuclear Effects at the LHC

Xiaofei Zhang, George Fai

We predict the Z transverse momentum distribution from proton-proton and nuclear collisions at the LHC. After demonstrating that higher-twist nuclear effects are very small, we pro…

Role of nonperturbative input in QCD resummed heavy boson distribution

Jianwei Qiu, Xiaofei Zhang

We show that role of nonperturbative input in the -space QCD resummation formalism for heavy boson transverse momentum () distribution strongly depends on collision energy…

Decisive Role of Fragmentation Functions in Hard Hadron Production

Xiaofei Zhang, George Fai, Peter Levai

It is demonstrated that the fragmentation functions at large momentum fraction play a key role in hard hadron production from relativistic proton-proton collisions. We find that th…
