Quantum Chromodynamics and the Pomeron (Cambridge Lecture Notes in Physics) Book

This book discusses the nature of the Pomeron, an object which describes much of what goes on in the scattering of elementary particles at very high energies and is of especial importance in diffraction scattering processes and small-x physics. Experiments are currently being performed which are unravelling the nature of this hitherto mysterious object in terms of the basic constituents of matter, i.e. quarks and gluons. This book derives the Pomeron from first principles using techniques of perturbation theory, studies its properties, and shows how it should manifest itself in experiment.Read More

  • Product Description

    This volume describes the Pomeron, an object of crucial importance in very high energy particle physics. The first chapter looks at historical roots, setting the scene for subsequent chapters, which focus on the derivation and study of the Pomeron that emerge within perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). A simple toy model is first used to illustrate the basic ideas behind the construction of the Pomeron and leads naturally to the more realistic case of QCD. The reggeized gluon is introduced and used to build the Pomeron of perturbative QCD. The dynamical nature of the Pomeron is then investigated. The role of the Pomeron in small-x deep inelastic scattering and in diffractive scattering is examined in detail. The volume concludes with a discussion of the color dipole approach to high energy scattering and the explicit role of unitarity corrections.
