Heavy Hadrons and QCD Instantons
Heavy hadrons are analyzed in a random and dilute gas of instantons. We
derive the instanton-induced interactions between heavy and light quarks at
next to leading order in the heavy quark mass and in the planar approximation,
and discuss their effects on the hadronic spectrum. The role of these
interactions in the formation of exotic hadrons is also discussed.Comment: 26 pages, REVTeX, 2 tables, 5 figures, uses FEYNMAN.st
Scattering Through QCD Sphalerons
Diffractive parton-parton scattering in the soft pomeron regime can be
explained by the production of a QCD sphaleron. Sphaleron production results
into the emission of gluons and quarks. At RHIC we expect many
sphalerons to be released thereby affecting most prompt processes.Comment: Contribution to quark matter 200
