SU(3) Flux Tubes in a Model of the stochastic Vacuum
We calculate the squared gluon field strengths of a heavy q--pair in the model of the stochastic vacuum. We observe that with
increasing separation a chromoelectric flux tube is built. The properties of
the emerging flux tube are investigated.Comment: 14, epsf, HD-THEP-94-3
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

Nucleon Structure and High Energy Scattering
If the pomeron is generated by a two gluon exchange there is no a priori
reason for a drastic suppression of three gluon exchange with negative parity
and charge parity. This would lead to an unacceptably large difference between
and scattering. It is shown that a natural suppression of
the ==--1 contribution to high energy scattering is given by a cluster
structure of the nucleon.Comment: 10 pages, epsf.sty and a4wide.sty, 8 eps figs included complete

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
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
Nonperturbative and perturbative aspects of photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons
We discuss various aspects of vector meson production, first analysing the
interplay between perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of the QCD
calculation. Using a general method adapted to incorporate both perturbative
and nonpertubative aspects, we show that nonperturbative effects are important
for all experimentally available values of the photon virtuality Q2. We compare
the huge amount of experimental information now available with our theoretical
results obtained using a specific nonperturbative model without free
parameters, showing that quite simple features are able to explain the data.Comment: 19 page
Energy Losses (Gains) of Massive Coloured Particles in Stochastic Colour Medium
The propagation of massive coloured particles in stochastic background
chromoelectric field is studied using the semiclassical equations of motion.
Depending on the nature of the stochastic background we obtain the formulae for
the energy losses of heavy coloured projectile in nonperturbative hadronic
medium and for the energy gains in the stochastic field present, e.g., in the
turbulent plasma. The result appears to be significantly dependent on the form
of the correlation function of stochastic external fieldComment: 9 pages, BI-TP 94/15, plain LaTe
Two Photon Reactions at High Energies
Cross sections for the reactions gamma^(*) gamma^(*) --> hadrons and
gamma^(*) gamma^(*) --> 2 vector mesons are calculated as functions of energy
(sqrt(s) > 20 GeV) and photon virtualities. Good agreement with experiment is
obtained for the total hadronic cross section and, after allowing for a
valence-quark contribution from the hadronic part of the photon, with the
photon structure function at small x. The cross section for vector meson
production are shown to be experimentally accessible for moderate values of
Q^2. This is sufficient to probe the nature of the hard pomeron which has
recently been proposed.Comment: some changes in style, physics unchanged, final version to appear in

The Semiclassical Gluon Distribution at Next-to-Leading Order
The interaction of the partonic fluctuation of the virtual photon in deep
inelastic scattering with soft color fields describing the hadron is treated in
an eikonal approximation. It is known that, in this approach, the small-x limit
of the leading-order gluon distribution xg(x,Q^2) is a constant characterizing
the averaged local field strength in the target. Matching the next-to-leading
order calculation in this semiclassical framework with the one-loop parton
model result, we obtain the next-to-leading order contribution to xg(x,Q^2). It
shows a ln(1/x) enhancement at small x and is sensitive to the large distance
structure of the target. The final expression is a simple integral over
non-Abelian eikonal factors measuring the target color field. We derive a
quantitative relation between the short-distance cutoff of this integral and
the scale of the gluon distribution function in the MS-bar scheme. Our
calculation demonstrates that higher order contributions can be systematically
included in the semiclassical approach.Comment: 19 pages LaTeX, 8 figures include
Diffractive Exclusive Photon Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering
Predictions for deep Virtual Compton Scattering are obtained in a
two-component dipole model of diffraction. The model automatically includes
hard and soft components and implicitly allows for ``hadronic'' contributions
via large dipoles. It is also applicable to real Compton Scattering, which
provides an important constraint.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
