New Directions in Quantum Chromodynamics
Abstract
Description
Several topics in QCD are reviewed, including: the light-cone Fock state representation, which encodes the flavor, spin and other quark and gluon correlations of hadrons in the form of universal process-independent amplitudes; the light-cone factorization scheme for inclusive and exclusive processes; the application of the light-cone formalism to semi-leptonic B decay amplitudes; self-resolving diffractive interactions as a tool for measuring light-cone wavefunctions; and the use of conformal symmetry as a template for QCD predictions, such as commensurate scale relations, which relate observable to observable at fixed relative scale without renormalization scale or scheme ambiguities.
