Reggeon cuts in QCD amplitudes with negative signature are discussed. These cuts appear in the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic approximation (NNLLA) and greatly complicate the derivation of the BFKL equation. Feynman diagrams…
In the framework of non-perturbative QCD we calculate high-energy diffractive production of vector mesons $\rh, \rh'$ and $\rh''$ by real and virtual photons on a nucleon. The initial photon dissociates into a $q\bar{q}$-dipole and…
Vector mesons are copiously produced in ultra-peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. In these collisions, the nuclei are separated by impact parameters larger than the sum of the nuclear radii, and the interaction is mediated by the…
In certain regions of phase space in jet production, large logarithms can arise which are resummed by the BFKL equation. Linear colliders can potentially be excellent places to study BFKL effects in jet production. We discuss an approach to…
The exclusive production of pairs of vector mesons with J^{PC} = 1^{--} in e^+ e^- collisions can proceed through e^+ e^- annihilation into two virtual photons. At energies much greater than the meson masses, the cross section is dominated…
We apply the BLM scale setting procedure directly to amplitudes (cross sections) of several semihard processes. It is shown that, due to the presence of $\beta_0$-terms in the NLA results for the impact factors, the obtained optimal…
The self-couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons are probed at hadron colliders through the production of a massive gauge boson and a photon. To extend the theoretical description of this type of final states towards…
The diffractive process $\gamma p\to V + X$ (where $V$ is a vector meson and $X$ results from the dissociation of the proton) is studied. In particular, we consider the region of large momentum transfer (i.e. $|t|\gg\Lambda_{QCD}^2$) and…
The production of two isolated photons in high-energy hadron collisions poses a challenge to perturbative QCD because of large corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We present novel next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order…
QED radiative corrections to the cross section of diffractive electro- and photoproduction of vector mesons is calculated at HERA energies. Both semi-analytical and Monte Carlo approaches are discussed and compared.
In this work we analyse the theoretical uncertainties on the predictions for the photoproduction of light vector mesons in coherent pp, pA and AA collisions at the LHC energies using the color dipole approach. In particular, we present our…
We discuss the electroproduction of light vector mesons from transversely polarized photons. Here QCD factorization cannot be applied as shown explicitly in a leading order calculation of corresponding Feynman diagrams. It is emphasized…
A truncated BFKL series is studied and applied to hadronic processes. The proton-(anti)proton cross sections are described with good agreement with data and in a way consistent with the unitarity bound. The elastic scattering amplitude is…
We consider QCD radiative corrections to the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions. We present a fully exclusive calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. To perform this NNLO…
We present a fully differential calculation of lepton pair production, taking into account the dominant next-to-next-to-leading order QED corrections as well as next-to-leading order electroweak and polarisation effects. We include all…
We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process p+p to jet + jet +X, where two forward high-$p_T$ jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity $\Delta y$ (Mueller-Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of…
We examine the effect of suppressing the emission of gluons which are close by in rapidity in the BFKL framework. We show that, after removing the unphysical collinear logarithms which typically arise in formally higher orders of the…
