High Energy Effective Action From Scattering Of Shock Waves In Qcd, Ian Balitsky
High Energy Effective Action From Scattering Of Shock Waves In Qcd, Ian Balitsky
Physics Faculty Publications
The author demonstrates 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.
