Planar quark scattering at strong coupling and universality

چکیده
We discuss scattering of fundamental matter in the planar and strong coupling limit via the AdS/CFT correspondence, generalizing the recently proposed calculation for adjoint matter due to Alday and Maldacena [1]. Color decomposition of quark amplitudes is a key property allowing to repeat the procedure in the case of fundamental matter and to derive the relation of these strong coupling amplitudes to minimal area problems. We present the results for two different D3 − D7 systems, one is only conformal in the planar limit and the other is exactly conformal. Our results suggest a universal behavior of scattering amplitudes at strong coupling and planar limit (both for gluons and quarks).

Quark scattering amplitudes at strong coupling
Following Alday and Maldacena [1], we describe a string theory method to compute the strong coupling behavior of the scattering amplitudes of quarks and gluons in planar N = 2 super Yang-Mills theory in the probe approximation. Explicit predictions for these quantities can be constructed using the all-orders planar gluon scattering amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang-Mills due to Bern, Dixon and Smi...
متن کاملWhat atomic liquids can teach us about quark liquids
Over the last ten years there has been truly remarkable progress in the study of cold, dilute gases of fermionic atoms in which the scattering length a of the atoms can be controlled experimentally. These systems can be realized in the laboratory using Feshbach resonances, see1) for a review. A small negative scattering length corresponds to a weak attractive interaction between the atoms. This...
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
متن کاملParton energy loss at strong coupling and the universal bound
The apparent universality of jet quenching observed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC for light and heavy quarks, as well as for quarks and gluons, is very puzzling and calls for a theoretical explanation. Recently it has been proposed that the synchrotron–like radiation at strong coupling gives rise to a universal bound on the energy of a parton escaping from the medium. Since this bound appears...
متن کاملTau Physics: Theoretical Perspective
The leptonic decays of the τ lepton provide relevant tests on the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic τ decay modes constitute an ideal tool for studying low–energy effects of the strong interaction in very clean conditions. Accurate determinations of the QCD coupling and the strange quark mass have been obtained with τ decay ...
