Probing the onset of maximal entanglement inside the proton in diffractive deep inelastic scattering

M Hentschinski, DE Kharzeev, K Kutak, Z Tu - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
It has been proposed that at small Bjorken x, or equivalently at high energy, hadrons
represent maximally entangled states of quarks and gluons. This conjecture is in accord with …

Ratio of and exclusive photoproduction cross sections as an indicator for the presence of nonlinear QCD evolution

M Alcazar Peredo, M Hentschinski - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate the proposal that the rise with energy of the ratio of the exclusive
photoproduction cross sections of vector mesons Ψ (2 s) and J/Ψ can serve as an indicator …

Analytical asymptotics for hard diffraction

AD Le, AH Mueller, S Munier - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We show that the cross section for diffractive dissociation of a small onium off a large
nucleus at total rapidity Y and requiring a minimum rapidity gap Y gap can be identified, in a …

Asymptotics of the overlap distribution of branching Brownian motion at high temperature

L Chataignier, M Pain - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.21014, 2024 - arxiv.org
At high temperature, the overlap of two particles chosen independently according to the
Gibbs measure of the branching Brownian motion converges to zero as time goes to infinity …

Modified homotopy approach for diffractive production in the saturation region

C Contreras, J Garrido, E Levin, R Meneses - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this paper we continue to develop the homotopy method for solving of the nonlinear
evolution equation for the diffractive production in deep inelastic scattering. We introduce …

Scattering from an external field in quantum chromodynamics at high energies: from foundations to interdisciplinary connections

AK Angelopoulou, AD Le, S Munier - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.14796, 2023 - arxiv.org
We review the factorization of the $ S $-matrix elements in the context of particle scattering
off an external field, which can serve as a model for the field of a large nucleus. The …

Diffractive electron-nucleus scattering and ancestry in branching random walks

AH Mueller, S Munier - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We point out an analogy between diffractive electron-nucleus scattering events and
realizations of one-dimensional branching random walks selected according to the height of …

Nuclear scattering configurations of onia in different frames

AD Le, AH Mueller, S Munier - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In the scattering of a small onium off a large nucleus at high center-of-mass energies, when
the parameters are set in such a way that the cross section at a fixed impact parameter is …
