Abstract

Deviations from the QCD prediction for the three-gluon vertex can be parameterised in terms of the dimension-6 operator Tr(G_μ^vG_v^pG_p^μ) in a gauge invariant way.Tree level unitarity considerations for the gg→gg elastic scattering process severely constrain the signal for an anomalous three-gluon vertex in dijet production at hadron colliders. This leaves four-jet events at e⁺e⁻ colliders as a very competitive way to study the three-gluon vertex.

Complete six-gluon disk amplitude in superstring theory
2008, Nuclear Physics B
We evaluate all next-to-maximal helicity violating (NMHV) six-gluon amplitudes in type I open superstring theory in four dimensions, at the disk level, to all orders in $α^{'}$ . Although the computation utilizes supersymmetric Ward identities, the result holds for all compactifications, even for those that break supersymmetry and is completely model-independent. Together with the maximally helicity violating (MHV) amplitudes presented in the previous work, our results provide the complete six-gluon disk amplitude.

Testing gluon self-interactions in three-jet events at hadron colliders
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section B
The effective operator tr(G³) is the only CP-even dimension-6 gluonic operator that cannot be related to four-quark operators. A peculiar property of this operator is that it does not contribute to two-jet production at hadron colliders, at the level of one operator insertion and leading order in α_s; therefore we study its effects on three-jet events. To calculate the helicity amplitudes induced by this operator we make extensive use of collinear factorization. We propose several ways of detecting the tr(G³) signal, one of which exploits its non-trivial behavior under azimuthal rotations of two almost collinear jets.
Probing the three-gluon coupling of QCD using heavy quark and quarkonium production in hadronic collisions
1993, Physics Letters B
The production of heavy quarks and quarkonia at large transverse momentum in hadronic collisions depends on the non-Abelian three-gluon coupling of QCD. We examine what limits can be placed on deviations of this coupling from its gauge theory form by confrontation with experimental data on b-quark and charmonium $(J ψ)$ production at large p_T. We also briefly discuss the effects of a non-standard three-gluon coupling on the hadronic decay width of the $^{3} P_{1} (c c)$ charmonium state.
