Factorization And High-Energy Effective Action, Ian Balitsky
Factorization And High-Energy Effective Action, Ian Balitsky
Physics Faculty Publications
I demonstrate that the amplitude for high-energy scattering can be factorized as a convolution of the contributions due to fast and slow fields. The fast and slow fields interact by means of Wilson-line operators—infinite gauge factors ordered along the straight line. The resulting factorization formula gives a starting point for a new approach to the effective action for high-energy scattering in QCD.

Factorization For High-Energy Scattering, Ian Balitsky

I demonstrate that the amplitude for the high-energy scattering can be factorized into a product of two independent functional integrals over “fast” and “slow” fields which interact by means of Wilson-line operators—gauge factors ordered along the straight lines.
