We present a systematic QCD analysis of the strange--charm and bottom--top contributions to transverse and longitudinal structure functions in charged--current deep inelastic scattering. Various ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^1)$ schemes are studied…
We prove a factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors. Our result differs in several important ways from previous proposals. A proper separation of scales gives hard kernels that are free of endpoint singularities. A general…
Results on soft and hard diffraction are briefly reviewed and placed in a QCD perspective using a parton model approach. Issues addressed include factorization, scaling properties, universality of rapidity gap formation, and unitarity.…

A brief summary of outstanding theoretical issues and recent results from the QCD factorization approach to exclusive hadronic B decays is provided.
Exclusive processes in hard electroproduction is one of the best place for understanding the factorization properties of QCD. The HERA experiment recently provided precise data for rho electroproduction, including all spin density matrix…
Hard QCD processes in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions become increasingly relevant and they can be used as probes of the dense matter formed during the violent scatterings. We will discuss how one can use these hard probes to study…
Off-diagonal parton distributions occur in several hard exclusive reactions. They extend the study of hadron structure beyond what can be learned from ordinary distributions and have a particularly rich spin structure. The hard scattering…

With nuclear targets comes a new scale into the pQCD description of hard processes - the saturation scale. In the saturation regime, the familiar linear k_\perp-factorization breaks down and must be replaced by a nonlinear…
An introductory to generalized parton distributions is given which emphasizes their spectral property and its uses as well as the equivalence of various GPD representations. Furthermore, the status of the theory and phenomenology of hard…

We briefly review several models of heavy quarkonium production in hadronic collisions, and discuss the status of QCD factorization for these production models.
In this note, we study a factorization result for graded decomposition maps associated with the specializations of graded algebras. We obtain results previously known only in the ungraded setting.

We review the potentialities offered by the study of backward exclusive processes in a new scaling regime, i.e. involving a large -timelike or spacelike- Q2 photon and a baryonic exchange in the t-channel. We recall the concept of…
A new version of the $k_T$ factorization approach is formulated for the high energy heavy quark production. The results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data at LHC energies.
