Probing quark-gluon correlation functions
We review the applicability of the QCD factorization theorem to multiple scattering in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering. We show why an A{sup 1/3}-type nuclear enhancement can be calculated consistently in perturbative QCD. We derive the transverse momentum broadening of the leading pions in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus collisions. We argue that the measurement of such transverse momentum broadening can provide direct information on the multiple-parton correlation functions inside a nucleus. We also estimate the numerical values of the broadening at different values of x{sub B} and Q{sup 2}. (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: Parton energy loss
Abstract Multiple parton scattering and induced parton energy loss are studied in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) off nuclei. The effect of multiple scattering of a highly off-shell quark and the induced parton energy loss is expressed in terms of the modification to the quark fragmentation functions. We derive such modified quark fragmentation functions and their QCD evolution equations in DIS using the generalized factorization of higher twist parton distributions. We consider double-hard and hard-soft parton scattering as well as their interferences in the same framework. The final result, which depends on both the diagonal and off-diagonal twist-four parton distributions in nuclei, demonstrates clearly the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal interference features and predicts a unique nuclear modification of the quark fragmentation functions.

Probing Multiparton Correlation Functions In Deeply Inelastic Scattering
We derive the transverse momentum broadening of the leading pions in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus collisions. We argue that the measurement of such transverse momentum broadening can provide direct information on the multiple-parton correlation functions inside a nucleus. We also estimate the numerical values of such broadening at different values of xB and Q 2. 11.80.La, 12.38.Bx, 13.85.Ni, 24.80.-x Typeset using REVTEX

Multiple scattering and energy loss in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic eA scattering
We calculate the multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deeply inelastic scattering. We show that the quantum interference of multiple scattering amplitudes leads to suppression in hadron productions. At the leading power in medium length, the suppression can be approximately expressed in terms of a shift in $z$ of the fragmentation function $D(z)$, and could be therefore interpreted as the collisional energy loss. We compare our calculation with existing experimental data. We also discuss the effect of quark mass on the suppression. Our approach can be extended to other observables in hadronic collisions.

Gluon minijet production in nuclear collisions at high energies
We show explicitly that the leading soft gluon p{sub T} distribution, predicted by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations, can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. We also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

CP violation in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ in the region with low invariant mass of one $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ pair
Recently, the large CP asymmetries in B → πππ decays were found by the LHCb Collaboration to localize in the region m π+π− < 0.4 GeV. We find such large localized CP asymmetries may be due to the interference between a light scalar and ρ(770) intermediate resonances. Consequently, we argue that the distribution of CP asymmetries in the Dalitz plots of three-body B decays could be very helpful for identifying the presence of the scalar resonance.

$CP$ violation for $B^{0}\rightarrow \rho^{0}(\omega)\rho^{0}(\omega) \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ in QCD factorization
In the QCD factorization (QCDF) approach we study the direct $CP$ violation in $\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\rho^0(\omega)\rho^0(\omega)\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $\rho-\omega$ mixing mechanism. We find that the $CP$ violation can be enhanced by double $\rho-\omega$ mixing when the masses of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs are in the vicinity of the $\omega$ resonance, and the maximum $CP$ violation can reach 28{\%}. We also compare the results from the naive factorization and the QCD factorization.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN HADRONIC WAVE-FUNCTION AND ITS RADIUS
A picture for the hadronic structure is discussed based on previous works[1]. The radius contributed from the valence Fock-state wavefunction (i.e., qqBAR component) is calculated in the light-cone framework. We propose a concept of the characteristic length lambda to represent the contributions of higher Fock states to hadronic radii phenomenologically and calculate its value. Using an equivalence between the ''intrinsic'' radii of constituent quarks and the radii coming from higher Fock states we put forward a constraint on the hadronic wavefunctions of mesons. It is found that these wavefunctions lead to consistency between theories and experiments for D and B exclusive decays. We also give the radii for K, D and B mesons. The results show that the radius of K meson is in good agreement with experimental data.

Heavy quark distribution functions in heavy baryons
Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equations for heavy baryons Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q and Omega_Q (Q=b or c), which were established in previous work, we calculate the heavy quark distribution functions in these baryons. The numerical results indicate that these distribution functions have an obvious peak at some fraction, alpha_0, of the baryon's light-cone ``plus'' momentum component carried by the heavy quark, and that as m_Q becomes heavier this peak becomes sharper and closer to 1. The dependence of the distribution functions on various input parameters in the B-S model is also discussed. The results are seen to be qualitatively similar to an existing phenomenological model.

Dissipative potential induced by QCD at finite temperature and density
In the framework of QCD at finite temperature, we have obtained dissipative factors for the effective potential between q and {bar q} which would partly explain the J/{psi} suppression in the quark gluon plasma (QGP). The derivation of the dissipative potential in the QGP is presented and the case in the hadron matter (HM) is briefly discussed. The suppression effects are numerically estimated based on simple approximations and a comparison with that caused by the Debye screening mechanism is also presented. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
