Pre-resonant Charmonium-Nucleon Cross Section in the Model of the Stochastic Vacuum
We calculate the nonperturbative charmonium - nucleon cross sections with the
model of the stochastic vacuum, which has been succesfully applied in many high
energy reactions. We also give a quantitative discussion of pre-resonance
formation and medium effects.Comment: Talk given at QCD Euroconference 99, Montpellier, 7-13 July 1999, 4

Inelastic diffractive proton-proton scattering in nonperturbative QCD
We examine diffractive proton-proton scattering. Using a functional integral
approach we derive the scattering amplitudes, which are governed by the
expectation value of lightlike Wegner-Wilson loops. This expectation value is
then evaluated using a cumulant expansion and the model of the stochastic
vacuum. From the scattering amplitudes we calculate total and differential
cross sections for high centre of mass energy and small momentum transfer and
compare with experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the International

The field strength correlator from QCD sum rules
The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tensor
in analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use of a
relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon hybrid in
the limit of the quark mass going to infinity. From the sum rules a relation
between the gluon correlation length and the gluon condensate is obtained.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, QCD Euroconferenc
High-energy elementary amplitudes from quenched and full QCD
Making use of the Stochastic Vacuum Model and the gluon gauge-invariant
two-point correlation function, determined by numerical simulation on the
lattice in both quenched approximation and full QCD, we calculate the
elementary (quark-quark) scattering amplitudes in the momentum transfer space
and at asymptotic energies. Our main conclusions are the following: (1) the
amplitudes decrease monotonically as the momentum transfer increases; (2) the
decreasing is faster when going from quenched approximation to full QCD (with
decreasing quark masses) and this effect is associated with the increase of the
correlation lengths; (3) dynamical fermions generate two components in the
amplitude at small momentum transfer and the transition between them occurs at
momentum transfer near 1 GeV. We also obtain analytical parametrizations
for the elementary amplitudes, that are suitable for phenomenological uses, and
discuss the effects of extrapolations from the physical regions investigated in
the lattice.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, aps-revtex4, to be published in Physics Letters
Description of elastic vectormeson production and F_2 by two pomerons
Using the Model of the Stochastic Vacuum many diffractive processes have been
calculated by investigating the dipole-dipole scattering at a cm-energy of 20
GeV. In this work we extend the calculation to larger energies and small
dipoles. We assume that there are two pomerons, the hard- and the soft-pomeron,
which cause the different energy dependence for processes dominated by small or
large dipoles. The physical processes are obtained by smearing the
dipole-dipole amplitude with wavefunctions. For small dipoles the leading
perturbative contribution is taken into account. By that way we can describe in
addition to the already calculated low energy results (20 GeV) also the HERA
data for the considered processes in nearly the whole energy and Q^2 range.Comment: LaTeX2e, 4pp, espcrc2mod.sty (appended, espcrc2 with corrected

Exact relations for thermodynamics of heavy quarks
We derive finite-temperature sum rules for excesses in internal energy and in
(volume-integrated) pressure arising due to presence of heavy quarks in SU(N)
gluon plasma. In the limit of zero temperature our formulae reduce to the
Michael-Rothe sum rules. The excesses in energy and pressure of the gluon
plasma are related to expectation values of certain gluon condensates, and,
simultaneously, to the heavy quark potential. The sum rules lead to a known
relation between the internal energy and the potential, and to a new expression
for the excess in the pressure. The pressure appears in the free energy as a
generalized force associated with variations of the spatial size of the
heavy-quark system. We find that the excess in gluonic pressure around a heavy
quarkonium is always negative. Finally, we derive an exact equation of state
that provides a relationship between the gluonic energy and pressure of heavy
quarks.Comment: 7 page
QCD sum rule analysis of the field strength correlator
The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tensor
is analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use of a
relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon hybrid in
the limit of the quark mass going to infinity. From the sum rules a relation
between the gluon correlation length and the gluon condensate is obtained. We
briefly compare our results to recent determinations of the field strength
correlator on the lattice.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
Non-Perturbative Scales in Soft Hadronic Collisions at High Energies
We investigate the role of nonperturbative quark-gluon dynamics in soft high
energy processes. In order to reproduce differential and total cross sections
for elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton-scattering at high energy and
small momentum transfer it turns out that we need two scales, the gluonic
correlation length and a confinement scale. We find a small gluonic correlation
length, a = 0.2 fm, in accordance with recent lattice QCD results.Comment: 8 pages,latex, 2 figures uuencode
