Transverse momentum dependent distribution functions in a covariant parton model approach with quark orbital motion
Transverse parton momentum dependent distribution functions (TMDs) of the
nucleon are studied in a covariant model, which describes the intrinsic motion
of partons in terms of a covariant momentum distribution. The consistency of
the approach is demonstrated, and model relations among TMDs are studied. As a
byproduct it is shown how the approach allows to formulate the non-relativistic
limit.Comment: 16 page
Study of correlation of production and decay planes in diffractive dissociation process on nuclei
A large correlation of production and decay planes of
(\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-)-system in dissociation of -beam 40 GeV/c on nuclear
targets was observed. The dependence of the correlation on atomic number,
Feynmann variable and transversal momentum as well as on invariant mass of the
pion triple and neutral pion pair were investigated. It was shown that the
phenomenon has a clear dynamic origin and resembles the single spin asymmetry
behavior.Comment: 8 pages, latex epsfig.sty, 5 eps figures. Submitted to Yad. Fiz
On the T-Odd Quark Fragmentation Function and on Transversal Handedness
The first probe of the correlation of the T-odd one-particle fragmentation
function responsible for the left--right asymmetry of fragmentation of a
transversely polarized quark is done by using the 1991-95 DELPHI data for -jet decay. Integrated over the fraction of longitudinal and transversal
momenta, this correlation is of 1.5% order, which means order of 13% for the
analyzing power.
A rather large () handedness transversal to the production plane
was observed in the diffractive production of () triples from
nuclei by the --beam. It was shown that the phenomenon has a
clear dynamic origin and resembles the single spin asymmetry behavior. All this
makes us hope to use this effects in polarized DIS experiments for transversity
measurement.Comment: 10 pp, 5 epsfig, Latex 2e, szjp.cls, epsfig.sty, wrapfig.sty

Perturbative QCD of hard and soft processes
We discuss some problems concerning the application of perturbative QCD to
high energy processes. In particular for hard processes, we analyze higher
order and higher twist corrections. It is argued that these effects are of
great importance for understanding the behaviour of pion electromagnetic form
factor at moderately large momentum transfers. For soft processes, we show that
summing the contributions of the lowest twist operators leads to a Regge-like
amplitude.Comment: Reproduction of unpublished JINR Report E2-80-521, Dubna 1980. 22

Forward production of beauty baryons in pp collisions at LHC
The production of charmed and beauty baryons in proton-proton collisions at
high energies is analyzed within the modified quark-gluon string model. We
present some predictions for the experiments on the forward beauty baryon
production in pp collisions at LHC energies. This analysis allows us to find
useful information on the Regge trajectories of the heavy (b barb) mesons and
the sea beauty quark distributions in the proton.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figure
Observation of Nonspreading Wave Packets in an Imaginary Potential
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to prepare a nonspreading
atomic wave packet. Our technique relies on a spatially modulated absorption
constantly chiseling away from an initially broad de Broglie wave. The
resulting contraction is balanced by dispersion due to Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle. This quantum evolution results in the formation of a nonspreading
wave packet of Gaussian form with a spatially quadratic phase. Experimentally,
we confirm these predictions by observing the evolution of the momentum
distribution. Moreover, by employing interferometric techniques, we measure the
predicted quadratic phase across the wave packet. Nonspreading wave packets of
this kind also exist in two space dimensions and we can control their amplitude
and phase using optical elements.Comment: 4 figure
