Dressed scalar propagator in a non-Abelian background from the worldline formalism

N Ahmadiniaz, F Bastianelli, O Corradini - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We study the propagator of a colored scalar particle in the background of a non-Abelian
gauge field using the worldline formalism. It is obtained by considering the open worldline of …
