Hadron Helicity Violation in Exclusive Processes: Quantitative Calculations in Leading Order QCD
We study a new mechanism for hadronic helicity flip in high energy hard
exclusive reactions. The mechanism proceeds in the limit of perfect chiral
symmetry, namely without any need to flip a quark helicity. The fundamental
feature of the new mechanism is the breaking of rotational symmetry of the hard
collision by a scattering plane in processes involving independent quark
scattering. We show that in the impulse approximation there is no evidence for
of the helicity violating process as the energy or momentum transfer is
increased over the region 1 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 100 GeV^2. In the asymptotic region
Q^2> 1000 GeV^2, a saddle point approximation with doubly logarithmic accuracy
yields suppression by a fraction of power of Q^2. ``Chirally--odd" exclusive
wave functions which carry non--zero orbital angular momentum and yet are
leading order in the high energy limit, play an important role.Comment: uuencoded LaTeX file (21 pages) and PostScript figure
Decay of the Maxwell field on the Schwarzschild manifold
We study solutions of the decoupled Maxwell equations in the exterior region
of a Schwarzschild black hole. In stationary regions, where the Schwarzschild
coordinate ranges over , we obtain a decay rate of
for all components of the Maxwell field. We use vector field methods
and do not require a spherical harmonic decomposition.
In outgoing regions, where the Regge-Wheeler tortoise coordinate is large,
, we obtain decay for the null components with rates of
, , and . Along the event horizon and in ingoing regions, where ,
and when , all components (normalized with respect to an ingoing null
basis) decay at a rate of C \uout^{-1} with \uout=t+r_* in the exterior
region.Comment: 37 pages, 5 figure
Magnetization screening from gluonic currents and scaling law violation in the ratio of magnetic form factors for neutron and proton
The ratio exhibits a decrease for four-momentum transfer
Q^2 increasing beyond 1 GeV^2 indicating different spatial distributions for
charge and for magnetization inside the proton. One-gluon exchange currents can
explain this behaviour. The SU(6) breaking induced by gluonic currents predicts
furthermore that the ratio of neutron to proton magnetic form factors
falls with increasing Q^2. We find that the
experimental data are consistent with our expectations of an almost linear
decrease of the ratio with increasing Q^2,
supporting the statement that the spatial distributions of magnetization are
different for protons and for neutrons.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

Locality of quark-hadron duality and deviations from quark counting rules above resonance region
We show how deviations from the dimensional scaling laws for exclusive
processes may be related to a breakdown in the locality of quark-hadron
duality. The essential principles are illustrated in a pedagogic model of a
composite system with two spinless charged constituents, for which a dual
picture for the low-energy resonance phenomena and high-energy scaling behavior
can be established. We introduce the concept of "restricted locality" of
quark-hadron duality and show how this results in deviations from the pQCD
quark counting rules above the resonance region. In particular it can be a
possible source for oscillations about the smooth quark counting rule, as seen
e.g. in the 90-degree differential cross sections for .Comment: The way to present Eqs. (2), (4), (7) are changed while physics
contents and calculations are left intact; Additional explanations for the
forward and large-angle duality are added; Three more references are

Inverse Eigenvalue Problems for Perturbed Spherical Schroedinger Operators
We investigate the eigenvalues of perturbed spherical Schr\"odinger operators
under the assumption that the perturbation satisfies . We show that the square roots of eigenvalues are given by the square
roots of the unperturbed eigenvalues up to an decaying error depending on the
behavior of near . Furthermore, we provide sets of spectral data
which uniquely determine .Comment: 14 page
Radio Detection of High Energy Particles: Coherence Versus Multiple Scales
Radio Cherenkov emission underlines detection of high energy particles via a
signal growing like the particle-energy-squared. Cosmic ray-induced
electromagnetic showers are a primary application. While many studies have
treated the phenomenon approximately, none have attempted to incorporate all
the physical scales involved in problems with time- or spatially- evolving
charges. We find it is possible to decompose the calculated fields into the
product of a form factor, characterizing a moving charge distribution,
multiplying a general integral which depends on the charge evolution. In
circumstances of interest for cosmic ray physics, the resulting expressions can
be evaluated explicitely in terms of a few parameters obtainable from shower
codes. The classic issues of Frauhofer and Fresnel zones play a crucial role in
the coherence.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figure
Double-Spin Transverse Asymmetries in Drell-Yan Processes
We calculate the double-spin transverse asymmetries for the Drell-Yan lepton
pair production in p-p and p-anti p collisions. We assume the transverse and
the longitudinal polarization densities to be equal at a very small scale, as
it is suggested by confinement model results. Using a global fit for the
longitudinal distributions, we find transverse asymmetries of order of 10^-2 at
most, in the accessible kinematic regions.Comment: 8 pages, REVTeX, 6 figures included as file figures.tar.g
The Proton Electromagnetic Form Factor and Quark Orbital Angular Momentum
We analyze the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio
as a function of momentum transfer
within perturbative QCD. We find that the prediction for at large
momentum transfer depends on the exclusive quark wave functions, which are
unknown. For a wide range of wave functions we find that $ QF_2/F_1 \sim\
const$ at large momentum transfer, in agreement with recent JLAB data.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Proceedings of the Workshop QCD
