Jet fragmentation and gauge/string duality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider an analog of e+e− annihilation in gauge theories which have a dual string description in asymptotically AdS5 space and discuss the nature of jet fragmentation. We construct the timelike anomalous dimension which governs the scale dependence of the fragmentation function. In the limit of infinite ’t Hooft coupling, the average multiplicity rises linearly with the energy and the inclusive spectrum is peaked at the kinematical boundary.

Jet-quenching and momentum correlators from the gauge-string duality
I relate the jet-quenching parameter, defined as q̂ = p⊥/λ, for an external quark moving through a thermal plasma of N = 4 gauge theory, to a two-point function of transverse displacements of the quark’s worldline. This two-point function can be computed using the gauge-string duality. I comment on the possible relevance of the string theory calculation to heavy quarks propagating through a quar...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملHadrons Without Strings
Descriptions of hadrons and glueballs can be constructed using strings to preserve gauge invariance. We show how this string dependence may be removed at all orders in perturbation theory. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] Introduction Gauge invariant descriptions of hadrons and their substructures are needed to directly link phenomenology to QCD. The need for gauge...
متن کاملAnomalous U(1) Gauge Symmetries and Heterotic - Type I/ii String Duality∗
Anomalous U(1) gauge symmetries can appear both in heterotic and type I string theories. In the heterotic case we find a single anomalous U(1), while in open string theories several such symmetries can appear. Nonetheless, there is a conjectured duality symmetry that might connect these two theories. We review the properties of anomalous gauge symmetries in various string theories as well as th...
متن کاملThe Spatial String Tension in the Deconfined Phase of SU(N) Gauge Theory and Gauge/String Duality
The spatial string tension of a SU(N) gauge theory without quarks is calculated using gauge/string duality for 1.2Tc ≤ T ≤ 3Tc. The result is remarkably consistent with the available lattice data for N = 2, 3. Some evidence is found that to leading order the large distance physics of a string can be described by a five-dimensional geometry without a need for an internal space. PACS: 12.38.Lg; 1...
