FeynFacet: AI agents for analytic NLO QCD

Zhong-Bo Kang, Werner Vogelsang, Congyue Zhang

We present FeynFacet, a workflow in which artificial intelligence agents develop and execute programs for analytic next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD calculations, with the observable…

One-point charge correlator as a probe for the odderon

Haotian Cao, Zhong-Bo Kang, Diego Padilla +1

We propose the one-point charge correlator (OPCC) in transversely polarized deep inelastic scattering as a new probe of the spin-dependent odderon. The OPCC is an infrared and coll…

Matching collinear factorization with color-glass condensate for inclusive and exclusive deep inelastic scattering

Shohini Bhattacharya, Chuan-Qi He, Zhong-Bo Kang +2

Collinear factorization and color-glass condensate (CGC) effective field theory are generally treated as separate approaches for calculating scattering amplitudes, valid in differe…

Determination of the initial condition for the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with transformers

Meisen Gao, Zhong-Bo Kang, Jani Penttala +1

In the high-energy limit of QCD, scattering off nucleons and nuclei can be described in terms of Wilson-line correlators whose energy dependence is perturbative. The energy depende…
