Light-Cone Quantized QCD and Novel Hadron Phenomenology
Abstract
Description
I review progress made in solving gauge theories such as collinear quantum chromodynamics using light-cone Hamiltonian methods. I also show how the light-cone Fock expansion for hadron wavefunctions can be used to compute operator matrix elements such as decay amplitudes, form factors, distribution amplitudes, and structure functions, and how it provides a tool for exploring novel features of QCD. I also review commensurate scale relations, leading-twist identities which relate physical observables to each other, thus eliminating renormalization scale and scheme ambiguities in perturbative QCD predictions.
