Forward quark jet-nucleus scattering in a light-front Hamiltonian approach
Meijian Li
We investigate the scattering of a quark jet on a high-energy heavy nucleus using the time-dependent light-front Hamiltonian approach. We simulate a real-time evolution of the quar…
Ultrarelativistic quark-nucleus scattering in a light-front Hamiltonian approach
Meijian Li, Xingbo Zhao, Pieter Maris +4
We investigate the scattering of a quark on a heavy nucleus at high energies using the time-dependent basis light-front quantization (tBLFQ) formalism, which is the first applicati…
On the light-front wave functions of quarkonia
Pieter Maris, Shaoyang Jia, Meijian Li +3
The light-front wave functions of hadrons allow us to calculate a wide range of physical observables; however, the wave functions themselves cannot be measured. We discuss recent r…
Frame dependence of transition form factors in light-front dynamics
Meijian Li
We study the radiative transitions between vector and pseudoscalar quarkonia in the light-front Hamiltonian approach, and investigate the effects of using different current compone…
Parton Distribution Functions of Heavy Mesons on the Light Front
Jiangshan Lan, Chandan Mondal, Meijian Li +4
The parton distribution functions (PDFs) of heavy mesons are evaluated from their light-front wave functions, which are obtained from a basis light-front quantization in the leadin…
Frame dependence of transition form factors in light-front dynamics
Meijian Li, Yang Li, Pieter Maris +1
We calculate the transition form factor between vector and pseudoscalar quarkonia in both the timelike and the spacelike region using light-front dynamics. We investigate the frame…
