We explore the correspondence between the final state in e+e? annihilation and the small-x hadronic wavefunction in the transverse plane both in weakly coupled QCD and strongly coupled = 4 SYM. At strong coupling, the virtual and static photon produced in e+e? annihilation can be treated as a shock wave propagating in AdS space leaving spherical energy and charge distributions on the boundary. This is shown to be mathematically identical to the computation of energy and charge distributions in…

Collinear limit of the energy-energy correlator

The energy-energy-correlator (EEC) observable in $e^+e^-$ annihilation measures the energy deposited in two detectors as a function of the angle between the detectors. The collinear limit, where the…

Universality in the Near-Side Energy-Energy Correlator.

We investigate the energy-energy correlator (EEC) of hadrons produced on the same side in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation or in leading jets in pp collisions. We observe a remarkable universality of the…

Aspects of the UV/IR correspondence: energy broadening and string fluctuations

We show that a source which radiates in the vacuum of the strongly coupled $ \mathcal{N} = 4 $ SYM theory produces an energy distribution which, in the supergravity approximation, has the same…

Hadronic spectra and light-front wave functions in holographic QCD.

Effective four dimensional Schrödinger equations for the bound states of massless quarks and gluons are derived which exactly reproduce the anti-de Sitter conformal field theory results and give a realistic description of the light-quark meson and baryon spectrum as well as the form factors for space-like Q2.
