One gluon , two gluon : multigluon production via high energy evolution

چکیده
We develop an approach for calculating the inclusive multigluon production within the JIMWLK high energy evolution. We give a formal expression of multigluon cross section in terms of a generating functional for arbitrary number of gluons n. In the dipole limit the expression simplifies dramatically. We recover the previously known results for single and double gluon inclusive cross section and generalize those for arbitrary multigluon amplitude in terms of Feynman diagramms of Pomeron-like objects coupled to external rapidity dependent field s(η). We confirm the conclusion that the AGK cutting rules in general are violated in multigluon production. However we present an argument to the effect that for doubly inclusive cross section the AGK diagramms give the leading contribution at high energy, while genuine violation only occurs for triple and higher inclusive gluon production. We discuss some general properties of our expressions and suggest a line of argument to simplify the approach further.

Quark-antiquark contribution to the multigluon amplitudes in the helicity formalism.
Using the helicity formalism, we compute the contribution of a quark-antiquark pair to the tree-level multigluon amplitudes in the high-energy limit. The q̄ q-pair production is absent in the leading-log formalism, but contributes to the next-to-leading corrections to it, and is therefore relevant for the computation of parton-parton scattering in the high-energy limit and of the gluon anomalous...
متن کاملPower-like corrections and the determination of the gluon distribution
Power-suppressed corrections to parton evolution may affect the theoretical accuracy of current determinations of parton distributions. We study the role of multigluon-exchange terms in the extraction of the gluon distribution for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Working in the high-energy approximation, we analyze multi-gluon contributions in powers of 1/Q2. We find a moderate, negative correc...
متن کاملCorrelation Sings of Instantons in Multigluon Production Processes at High Energy
General formula for inclusive gluon distribution on rapidities is obtained for the processes of multigluon production in classical instanton field with the first quantum correction. On the basis of this formula second correlation function is calculated in QCD and analysed. The features of the correlation function behaviour can be used as a signal of instanton at HERA. PACS numbers: 13.85.Hd, 12...
متن کاملA New Evolution Equation
We propose a new evolution equation for the gluon density relevant for the region of small xB . It generalizes the GLR equation and allows deeper penetration in dense parton systems than the GLR equation does. This generalization consists of taking shadowing effects more comprehensively into account by including multigluon correlations, and allowing for an arbitrary initial gluon distribution i...
متن کاملMultigluon helicity amplitudes involving a quark loop.
We apply the solution to the recursion relation for the double-off-shell quark current to the problem of computing one loop amplitudes with an arbitrary number of gluons. We are able to compute amplitudes for photon-gluon scattering, electron-positron annihilation to gluons, and gluon-gluon scattering via a quark loop in the case of like-helicity gluons. In addition, we present the result for t...
