abstract

We argue that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small x for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized. For such nuclei, we argue that weak coupling methods may be used. We show that the computation of the distribution functions can be recast as a many body problem with a modified propagator, a coupling constant which depends on the multiplicity of particles per unit rapidity per unit area, and for non-abelian gauge theories, some extra media dependent vertices. We explicitly compute the distribution function for gluons to lowest order, and argue how they may be computed in higher order.

Sub-eikonal Structure of High-Energy Deep-Inelastic Scattering

hep-ph · 2026-03-24 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Sub-eikonal corrections to dipole structure functions F_L, F_T and the g1-related asymmetry are derived in a gauge-invariant dipole operator basis, with F_L shown to be finite and the others logarithmically divergent.

Unpolarized GPDs at small $x$ and non-zero skewness

hep-ph · 2025-12-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Unpolarized GPDs and GTMDs at small x with non-zero skewness are expressed via the dipole amplitude N and odderon O with modified rapidity Y = ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|}.

Light-front Hamiltonian jet evolution in the Glasma

hep-ph · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A light-front Hamiltonian method evolves a quark through Glasma fields to obtain transverse momentum broadening and jet quenching consistent with classical scaling in saturation momentum.

Squeezed-state radiation in shockwave scattering: QCD-Gravity double copy

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The n-particle gluon radiation spectrum in shockwave scattering is a generalized Susskind-Glogower squeezed coherent state, and multi-graviton radiation follows similarly via double copy, with feasible large squeezing parameters ~ln(n_bar) leading to enhanced quantum noise in gravitational wave sp

Forward trijet production in proton-nucleus collisions: gluon initiated channel

hep-ph · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The gluon-initiated trijet channel in forward pA collisions is calculated at leading order in CGC, revealing a four-gluon vertex structure matching instantaneous terms and showing how rapidity and collinear divergences feed into JIMWLK evolution and PDF/FF kernels.

Kinetic and canonical momentum broadening in the Glasma

hep-ph · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives gauge-invariant equations of motion for kinetic and canonical momentum of particles in a classical non-Abelian background, finding that transverse fields contribute to kinetic momentum broadening even in the eikonal limit, and shows that an initial transverse Coulomb gauge reduces numerical

Letter of Intent: The Forward Physics Facility

hep-ex · 2025-10-30 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Proposes construction of the Forward Physics Facility at the HL-LHC with four complementary detectors to exploit forward neutrinos and new-particle fluxes for neutrino, QCD, astroparticle, and dark-matter measurements.

On the Two $R$-Factors in the Small-$x$ Shockwave Formalism

hep-ph · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Replacing the rapidity argument of the dipole amplitude with ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|} and refining initial conditions for non-linear evolution can eliminate two R-factors in small-x shockwave calculations.
