In this Letter, comprehensive results on ${\rm\pi}^\pm$, K$^\pm$, K$^0_S$, p, $\rm\bar{p}$, $\rm \Lambda$ and $\rm \bar{\Lambda}$ production at mid-rapidity ($0 < y_{\rm cms} < 0.5$) in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV,…
We discuss cross sections for $tW$ production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and at higher-energy colliders with energies of up to 100 TeV. We find that, remarkably, the soft-gluon corrections are numerically dominant even at very…
The production of strange and multi-strange hadrons in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions is studied with the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. These particles are reconstructed via their weak decay topologies, exploiting…

In this work the results on the transverse momentum distributions ($\sim0.3<p_{\rm T}<15$ GeV/$c$) of charged pions, kaons and (anti)protons, measured in $\rm pp$ and $\rm Pb-Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV and in $\rm p-Pb$…
A brief review of theoretical and experimental aspects of $b$-quark production measurements at the LHC.
A measurement is reported of the production cross section of top-quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Candidate events have a signature consistent with…
We propose a measurement of leading neutrons spectra at LHC in order to extract inclusive $\pi^+ p$ and $\pi^+\pi^+$ cross-sections with high $p_T$ jets production. The cross-sections for these processes are simulated with the use of parton…
Scaling features of particles produced in pi-p and pi-A collisions over a high-pT range at high energies are studied. The general concept of z-scaling is applied for the analysis of pi-p and pi-A experimental data on the inclusive cross…
Motivated by the shift in experimental attention towards electroweak supersymmetric particle production at the CERN LHC, we update in this paper our precision predictions at next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD matched to resummation…
We consider the central exclusive production of the $p\bar{p}$ in the continuum and via resonances in proton-proton collisions at high energies. We discuss the diffractive mechanism calculated within the tensor-pomeron approach including…
We calculate cross sections and asymmetries for slepton pair production through neutral and charged electroweak currents in polarized hadron collisions for general slepton masses and including mixing of the left- and right-handed…
The qualitative difference in the use of retarded and Feynman amplitudes as demonstrated in nucl-th/0101024 had been wrongly considered in this comment. The concept of the breakdown of crossing symmetry is not effective in the case…
In the light of the latest data by LHCf collaboration of the LHC on leading neutrons spectra it is possible to obtain total pion-proton cross-sections in the TeV energy region. In this work the exact extraction procedure is shown. Final…
We study Lambda_c/Lambda}_c-bar production asymmetries in pp and pi- p collisions using a recently proposed two component model. The model includes heavy baryon production by the usual mechanism of parton fusion and fragmentation plus…
We discuss a program for systematic studies of heavy quark production in $pp$, $pA$ and $AA$ interactions. The $Q \bar Q$ production cross sections themselves cannot be accurately predicted to better than 50% at RHIC. For studies of…

We suggest inclusive hadron production in ultra-peripheral proton-nucleus collisions (UPCs) $p^\uparrow A \to h AX$ as a new channel to investigate single spin asymmetries (SSAs), in particular, to test the assumed dominance of the…
We consider the azimuthal correlations of charged hadron pairs with large total transverse momentum and small relative momentum, produced in proton-proton collisions with one transversely polarized proton. One of these correlations directly…
