Two-Photon Exclusive Processes in QCD∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Exclusive two-photon reactions such as Compton scattering at large angles, deeply virtual Compton scattering, and hadron production in photon-photon collisions provide important tests of QCD at the amplitude level, particularly as measures of hadron distribution amplitudes and skewed parton distributions. Invited talk presented at Photon 2000 Ambleside, England August 26–31, 2000 ∗Work supported by the Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF00515.

Exclusive γγ → hadron pairs are among the most fundamental processes in QCD, providing a detailed examination of Compton scattering in the crossed channel. In the high momentum transfer domain (s, t, large, θ cm for t/s fixed), these processes can be computed from first principles in QCD, yielding important information on the nature of the QCD coupling α s and the form of hadron distribution am...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Exclusive Processes in Quantum Chromodynamics*
QCD predictions for 77 annihilation into single mesons, meson pairs, and baryon pairs are reviewed. Two-photon exclusive processes provide the most sensitive and practical measure of the distribution amplitudes, and thus a critical confrontation between QCD and experiment. Both the angular distribution and virtual photon mass dependence of these amplitudes are sensitive to the shapes of the r$(...

Exclusive yy -+ hadron pairs are among the most fundamental processes in &CD, providing a detailed examination of Compton scattering in the crossed channel. In the high momentum transfer domain (s, t, large, 19,~ for t/s fixed), these processes can be computed from first principles in &CD, yielding important information on the nature of the QCD coupling a, and the form of hadron distribution am...
متن کاملExclusive Two - Photon Processes in Quantum Chromodynamics
Leading order perturbative QCD predictions are given for the twophoton processes yy + ~71, 6, and pp at large momentum transfer. As we have shown in a series of recent papers,l the predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics can be extended to the whole domain of large momentum transfer exclusive processes. The results lead to a comprehensive new range of rigorous predictions of QCD whic...
متن کاملHigh Energy Photon–photon Collisions at a Linear Collider∗
High intensity back-scattered laser beams will allow the efficient conversion of a substantial fraction of the incident lepton energy into high energy photons, thus significantly extending the physics capabilities of an ee linear collider. The annihilation of two photons produces C = + final states in virtually all angular momentum states. An important physics measurement is the measurement of ...
