We derive the light-front wave function (LFWF) representation of the $gamma^{star} gamma^{star} to eta_{c} (1S),eta_{c}(2S)$ transition form factor $F(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$ for two virtual photons in the initial state. For the LFWF, we use different models obtained from the solution of the Schrodinger equation for a variety of $cbar{c}$ potentials. We compare our results to the BaBar experimental data for the $eta_{c}(1S)$ transition form factor, for one real and one virtual photon. We observe that the onset of the asymptotic behaviour is strongly delayed and discuss applicability of the collinear and/or massless limit. In addition, we present a thorough analysis of $eta_{c}(1S,2S)$ quarkonia hadroproduction in $k_{perp}$-factorisation in the framework of the light-front potential approach for the quarkonium wave function. The off-shell matrix elements for the $g^{star} g^{star} to eta_{c} (1S,2S)$ vertices are derived. We discuss the importance of taking into account the gluon virtualities. We present the transverse momentum distributions of $eta_c$ for several models of the unintegrated gluon distributions. Our calculations are performed for four distinct parametrizations for the $cbar{c}$ interaction potential consistent with the meson spectra. We compare our results for $eta_{c}(1S)$ to measurements by the LHCb collaboration and present predictions for $eta_{c}(2S)$ production.
我们推导了初始状态下两个虚光子的$gamma^{star} gamma^{star} to eta_{c} (1S),eta_{c}(2S)$跃迁形状因子$F(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$的光前波函数(LFWF)表示。对于LFWF,我们使用从薛定谔方程解中得到的不同模型来计算各种$cbar{c}$势。我们比较了我们的结果与BaBar实验数据的$eta_{c}(1S)$跃迁形状因子,一个实光子和一个虚光子。我们观察到渐近行为的开始是强延迟的,并讨论了共线和/或无质量极限的适用性。此外,我们在夸克子波函数的光锋势方法的框架下,对$k_{perp}$分解过程中$eta_{c}(1S,2S)$夸克子的产氢进行了深入的分析。推导了$g^{star} g^{star} to eta_{c} (1S,2S)$顶点的离壳矩阵元素。我们讨论了考虑胶子虚性的重要性。我们给出了几种未积分胶子分布模型$eta_c$的横向动量分布。我们对与介子谱一致的$cbar{c}$相互作用势进行了四种不同的参数化计算。我们将$eta_{c}(1S)$的结果与LHCb合作的测量结果进行了比较,并对$eta_{c}(2S)$的产量进行了预测。

Penetrating probes in heavy-ion collisions, like jets and photons, are sensitive to the transport coefficients of the produced quark-gluon plasma, such as shear and bulk viscosity. Quantifying this sensitivity requires a detailed understanding of photon emission and jet-medium interaction in a non-equilibrium plasma. Up to now, such an understanding has been hindered by plasma instabilities which arise out of equilibrium and lead to spurious divergences when evaluating the rate of interaction of hard probes with the plasma. In this paper, we show that taking into account the time evolution of an unstable plasma cures these divergences. We calculate the time evolution of gluon two-point correlators in a setup with small initial momentum anisotropy and show that the gluon occupation density grows exponentially at early times. Based on this calculation, we argue for a phenomenological prescription where instability poles are subtracted. Finally, we show that in the Abelian case instability fields do not affect medium-induced photon emission to our order of approximation.

We derive Next-to-Eikonal (NEik) corrections to the background quark propagator, which stem from (i) considering a finite longitudinal width target instead of an infinitely thin shockwave and (ii) including the interaction of the quark with the transverse components of the background field. These two different corrections to the eikonal approximation combine together and provides a gauge covariant expression for the quark propagator at NEik accuracy. We then apply our results to quark (or antiquark) scattering on a nucleus at NEik accuracy, considering both unpolarized cross section and helicity asymmetry.

We discuss the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) and quark-hadron duality for two-point Green functions of tetraquark currents. We emphasize that the factorizable part of the OPE series for such Green functions, including nonperturbative contributions described by QCD condensates, is saturated by the full system of ordinary hadrons and therefore cannot have any relationship to the possible tetraquark bound states. Possible tetraquark bound states may be contained in nonfactorizable parts of these Green functions. In the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion in QCD$(N_c)$, nonfactorizable parts of the two-point Green functions of tetraquark currents provide $N_c$-suppressed contributions compared to the $N_c$-leading factorizable parts. A possible exotic tetraquark state may appear only in $N_c$-subleading contributions to the QCD Green functions, in full accord with the well-known rigorous properties of large-$N_c$ QCD.
