Title: RIKEN SCHOOL ON QCD TOPICS ON THE PROTON.

Abstract

The RIKEN School on QCD titled ''Topics on the Proton'' was held on March 26th, 2003 at the Nishina Memorial Hall of RIKEN, Wako, Saitama, Japan, sponsored by REEN (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research). The school was the third of a new series with a broad perspective of hadron and nuclear physics. The organization and the size of the school were a little different from those of the previous ones. Prof. John Ellis, known as the world best theorist in particle and nuclear physics, has been appointed in RIKEN as an Eminent Scientist, which enables us to plan a collaboration with him for coming three years. As the first year activity, we asked him to give a keynote talk in the JPS spring meeting focusing on the structure of proton, and also to give lectures in RIKEN for younger Japanese scientists on the subjects related the structure of the proton. He kindly agreed on both and we then decided to have a one-day school by supplementing his course with a course on experimental aspects of the proton structure. One of us (N.S.) agreed to give the latter. This time, Theoretical Physics Laboratory joined Radiation Laboratory to organize themore » school. The purpose of the school was to offer young researchers an opportunity to learn theoretical aspects of the proton structure with a broad perspective including supersymmetry and the related experimental aspects. We had a theoretical course consisting of 3 one-hour lectures by Prof. Ellis and a experimental course consisting of 2 one-hour lectures by Prof. Saito.« less

  • In this lecture I give a pedagogical introduction to the Perturbative QCD to understand the short-distance dynamics of the strong interaction. Starting with fundamental concepts such as the color degree of freedom of QCD, non-abelian gauge field theory, renormalization group equation etc., I explain a basic idea of the perturbative QCD and apply this idea to the e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} processes and the structure functions. The notion of mass singularity and the necessity of its factorization is discussed in some detail.
  • The RIKEN School on ''Quark-Gluon Structure of the Nucleon and QCD'' was held from March 29th through 31st at the Nishina Memorial Hall of RIKEN, Wako, Saitama, Japan, sponsored by RIKEN (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research). The school was the second of a new series with a broad perspective of hadron and nuclear physics. The purpose of the school was to offer young researchers an opportunity to learn theoretical aspects of hadron physics based on QCD and related experimental programs being or to be carried out by Japanese groups. We had 3 theoretical courses, each consisting of 3more » one-hour lectures, and 6 experimental courses, each consisting of a one-hour lecture.« less
  • The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven, beginning operation this year, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, beginning operation {approximately}2005, will provide an unprecedented range of energies and luminosities that will allow us to probe the Gluon-Quark plasma. At RHIC and LHC, at central rapidity typical estimates of energy densities and temperatures are e * 1-10 GeV/fm3 and T0 * 300 - 900 MeV. Such energies are well above current estimates for the GQ plasma. Initially, this hot, dense plasma is far from local thermal equilibrium, making the theoretical study of transport phenomena, kinetic and chemical equilibrationmore » in dense and hot plasmas, and related issues a matter of fundamental importance. During the last few years a consistent framework to study collective effects in the Gluon-Quark plasma, and a microscopic description of transport in terms of the hard thermal (and dense) loops resummation program has emerged. This approach has the potential of providing a microscopic formulation of transport, in the regime of temperatures and densities to be achieved at RHIC and LHC. A parallel development over the last few years has provided a consistent formulation of non-equilibrium quantum field theory that provides a real-time description of phenomena out of equilibrium. Novel techniques including non-perturbative approaches and the dynamical renormalization group techniques lead to new insights into transport and relaxation. A deeper understanding of collective.excitations and transport phenomena in the GQ plasma could lead to recognize novel potential experimental signatures. New insights into small-c physics reveals a striking similarity between small-c and hard thermal loops, and novel real-time numerical simulations have recently studied the parton distributions and their thermalizations in the initial stages of a heavy ion collision.« less
