Gluon Interactions with Color-Neutral Fields

Abstract

We investigate the interactions of color neutral fields with gluons in the regge region, and propose a model in which the field strength of the gluons couple to these fields. This model yields to first order in perturbation theory a structure function which coincides with that obtained in deep inelastic scattering (in the Double Log Approximation of QCD) to first order at low q with a correction. We propose that higher order corrections in this model will contribute to the parton structure functions beyond the DLA. It is also shown that the Born approximation in this model yields a potential having a monopole, and a quadruploe term that may couple to hadronic currents provideing angular momentum transitions of Delta(J)=2,0, as is the case in hadron regge trajectories.
