The parton picture of elementary particles

J Kogut, L Susskind - Physics Reports, 1973 - Elsevier
The parton theory is developed along several lines. We begin by developing quantum
mechanics in the infinite momentum frame. The Galilean analogy is worked out and the use …

Small transverse momentum distributions in hard processes

G Parisi, R Petronzio - Nuclear Physics B, 1979 - Elsevier
The effects of soft gluon brehmsstrahlung on the k⊥ distributions of μ pairs produced in
hadron-hadron collisions are studied using the Block-Nordsiek method. At moderate …

Scattering amplitudes for self-force
