Dynamical Gluon Mass in QCD Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perform phenomenological applications of modified gluon propagators and running coupling constants in scattering processes in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The modified forms of propagators and running coupling constant are obtained by non-perturbative methods. The processes investigated includes the diffractive ones – proton-proton elastic scattering, light vector meson photo-production and double vector meson production in gamma-gamma scattering – as well as the pion and kaon meson form factors. The results are compared with experimental data (if available), showing a good agreement with a gluon with dynamical mass but do not indicate the correct gluon propagator functional form.

A dynamical gluon mass solution in a coupled system of the Schwinger-Dyson equations
We study numerically the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the coupled system of gluon and ghost propagators in the Landau gauge and in the case of pure gauge QCD. We show that a dynamical mass for the gluon propagator arises as a solution while the ghost propagator develops an enhanced behavior in the infrared regime of QCD. Simple analytical expressions are proposed for the propagators, and the m...
متن کاملFlow equations in light-front QCD
Light-front QCD is studied by the method of flow equations. Dynamical gluon mass is generated, which evolves with the cut-off according to renormalization group equation. Eliminating by flow equations the quark gluon coupling with the dynamical gluon mode, one obtains an effective interaction between quark and antiquark which exibits the Coulomb and confining singularities. The scale, which reg...
متن کاملFlow Equations in the Light-front Qcd: Mass Gap and Confinement
The light-front QCD is studied using the method of flow equations. Solving the light-front gluon gap equation, the effective gluon mass is generated dynamically. The effective interaction between static quark and antiquark, generated through elimination of the quark-gluon minimal coupling by flow equations, has the Coulomb, 1/q 2 , and confining, 1/q 4 , singular behavior. Elimination of the qu...
متن کاملDynamical Mass Generation in Landau gauge QCD ∗
We summarise results on the infrared behaviour of Landau gauge QCD from the Green’s functions approach and lattice calculations. Approximate, nonperturbative solutions for the ghost, gluon and quark propagators as well as first results for the quark-gluon vertex from a coupled set of Dyson-Schwinger equations are compared to quenched and unquenched lattice results. Almost quantitative agreement...
متن کاملSqueezed gluon vacuum and the global colour model of QCD
We discuss how the vacuum model of Celenza and Shakin with a squeezed gluon condensate can explain the existence of an infrared singular gluon propagator frequently used in calculations within the global colour model. In particular, it reproduces a recently proposed QCD-motivated model where low energy chiral parameters were computed as a function of a dynamically generated gluon mass. We show ...
