Factorization And Effective Action For High-Energy Scattering In Qcd, Ian Balitsky
Factorization And Effective Action For High-Energy Scattering In Qcd, Ian Balitsky
Physics Faculty Publications
The author demonstrates that the amplitude of the high-energy scattering can be factorized in 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.
