Light-front wavefunctions of mesons by design

Meijian Li, Yang Li, Guangyao Chen +2

We develop a mechanism to build the light-front wavefunctions (LFWFs) of meson bound states on a small-sized basis function representation. Unlike in a standard Hamiltonian formali…

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…

Heavy quarkonia production at LHC and EIC using Basis Light-Front Quantization wavefunctions

Guangyao Chen, Yang Li, Kirill Tuchin +1

We study exclusive charmonium and bottomonium production in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions and electron-ion collisions within the dipole picture. We employ heavy quarkonium…

Hadron Spectra, Decays and Scattering Properties within Basis Light Front Quantization

James P. Vary, Lekha Adhikari, Guangyao Chen +10

We survey recent progress in calculating properties of the electron and hadrons within the Basis Light Front Quantization (BLFQ) approach. We include applications to electromagneti…

Coulomb Excitation of Deuteron in Peripheral Collisions with a Heavy Ion

Weijie Du, Peng Yin, Yang Li +4

We develop an ab initio, non-perturbative, time-dependent Basis Function (tBF) method to solve the nuclear structure and scattering problems in a unified manner. We apply this meth…

Initial Angular Momentum and Flow in High Energy Nuclear Collisions

Rainer J. Fries, Guangyao Chen, Sidharth Somanathan

We study the transfer of angular momentum in high energy nuclear collisions from the colliding nuclei to the region around midrapidity, using the classical approximation of the Col…
