Hadronic and Nuclear Phenomena in .- Quantum Chromodynamics*
نویسنده
چکیده
Many of the key issues in understanding quantum chromodynamics involves processes at intermediate energies. We discuss a range of hadronic and nuclear . . _-. phenomena-exclusive processes, color transparency, hidden color degrees of freedom in nuclei, reduced nuclear amplitudes, jet coalescence, formation zone effects, hadron helicity selection rules, spin correlations, higher twist effects, and nuclear diffraction-as tools for probing hadron structure and the propagation of quark and gluon jets in nuclei. Many of these processes can be studied’in electroproduction, utilizing internal targets in storage rings. We also review several areas where there has been significant theoretical progress in determining the form of hadron and nuclear wavefunctions, including QCD sum rules, lattice gauge theory, and discretized light-cone quantization. -. .

Testing Quantum Chromodynamics*
The difficulties in isolating specific QCD mechanisms which control hadronic phenomena, and the complications in obtaining quantitative tests of QCD are discussed. A number of novel QCD effects are reviewed, including heavy quark and higher twist phenomena, initial and final state interactions, direct processesI multiparticle collisions, color filtering, and nuclear target effects. The importan...
متن کاملPhenomena Nd the Short Distance Structure of Hadrons
In certain cases, nuclear corrections to hadronic phenomena depend in detail on the nature of quark and gluon interactions, as well as the effects of jet development within the nuclear medium. In this talk I review applications of quantum chromodynamics to fast particle production in nuclear collisions, nuclear form factors, and shadowing in deep inelastic lepton processes. I also discuss a new...
متن کاملNovel Tests of Quantum Chromodynamics in Electro- Production*
We discuss a number of ways in which single arm and coincident measurements of electroproduction on proton and nuclear targets can test fundamental QCD phenomena and provide constraints on hadronic wavefunctions. The topics include tests of color transparency, predictions for charm production at threshold, formation zone phenomena, and non-additive nuclear effects. We particularly emphasize the...

The asymptotic freedom behavior of quantum chromodynamics allows the rigorous calculation of hadronic and nuclear amplitudes at short distances using perturbative methods. The implications of QCD for large momentum transfer nuclear form factors and scattering processes, as well as for the structure of nuclear wavefunctions and nuclear interactions at short distances are discussed. The necessity...
