From Partons to Strings: Scattering on the Coulomb Branch of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM

Luis F. Alday, Elisabetta Armanini, Kelian Häring +1

We study scattering on the Coulomb branch of planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at finite 't Hooft coupling. This setup defines a family of classical open-string S-matrices that smoothly…
