Multi-Parton Amplitudes in Gauge Theories

In this report we review recent developments in perturbation theory methods for gauge theories. We present techniques and results that are useful in the calculation of cross sections for processes with many final state partons which have applications in the study of multi-jet phenomena in high-energy Colliders.Comment: 84 pages, 12 figures: Latex, preprint version of 1991 Physics Reports article.

JIMWLK evolution for multi-particle production with rapidity correlations

We study multi-particle production with rapidity correlations in proton-nucleus collisions at high energy in the Color Glass Condensate framework. The high-energy evolution responsible for such correlations is governed by a generalization of the JIMWLK equation describing the simultaneous evolution of the strong nuclear color fields in the direct amplitude and the complex conjugate amplitude. This functional equation can be used to derive ordinary evolution equations for the cross-sections for particle production, but the ensuing equations appear to be too complicated to be useful in practice, including in the limit of a large number of colors Nc. We propose an alternative formulation based on a Langevin process, which is valid for generic Nc and is better suited for numerical implementations. For illustration, we present the stochastic equations which govern two gluon production with arbitrary rapidity separation.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, based on talk given at IS 2013, 8 - 14 Sep 2013, Illa da Toxa, Spai

QCD

We discuss issues of QCD at the LHC including parton distributions, Monte Carlo event generators, the available next-to-leading order calculations, resummation, photon production, small x physics, double parton scattering, and backgrounds to Higgs production.Comment: 115 pages, Latex, 47 figures, to appear in the Report of the ``1999 CERN Workshop on SM Physics (and more) at the LHC'', S.
