We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3(nu)-xF_3(nubar) from CCFR nu_mu-Fe and nubar_mu-Fe different ial cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This…
We explore the effects of an external magnetic field in the structure and magnitude of the diquark condensate in a three massless quark flavor color superconductor. It is shown that the long-range component $\widetilde{B}$ of the external…
We review the present theoretical knowledge of the charm--strange contribution to charged--current DIS structure functions. In particular, the uncertainties arising from the choice of the factorization scale, of the massive QCD scheme, and…
We analyze the Callan-Gross ratio $R(x,Q^2)=F_L/F_T$ in heavy-quark leptoproduction as a probe of the charm content of the proton. To estimate the charm-initiated contributions, we use the ACOT($\chi$) variable-flavor-number scheme. Our…
We discuss the calculation of $F_2^{\gamma}({\rm charm})$ to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, including contributions from both hadronlike and pointlike photons. We show that the former dominates strongly below $x\simeq 0.01$, and the…
We calculate the perturbative component of the DIS structure function F_1 singlet in the Double-Logarithmic Approximation (DLA) and account at the same time for the running QCD coupling effects. By constructing and solving evolution…
We show how one can resum the large logarithms which occur in the charm component of the structure function F_{k,c}(x,Q^2,m_c^2) (k=2,L) taken at three light flavours, in the limit Q^2 \gg m_c^2. This resummation leads to an expression of…
We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3nu-xF_3nubar from CCFR neutrino-Fe and antineutrino-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This…
The most important part of the order $\alpha_s^2$ corrections to the charm component of the charged-current structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $F_3(x,Q^2)$ have been calculated. This calculation is based on the asymptotic form of the…
We present a QCD analysis of the strange and charm contributions to the neutrino deep inelastic structure function $xF_3$. We show that next-to-leading order effects, which are relatively important for $F_2$, play a lesser role in the case…
We present a set of formulas to extract the longitudinal structure function from the proton structure function and its derivatives with respect to lnQ2 in the next-to-next-to-leading order of the perturbative theory at low x based on a hard…
Based on the QCD dipole picture of the BFKL Pomeron, we investigate the role played by the saturation scale, Q_{sat}, in obtaining physical values for the affective strong coupling in phenomenological fits to small-x HERA data. The…
The NLL corrections to the BFKL kernel are known to be very large, to the extent that even for small values of alpha_s, they lead to physical cross sections which are not positive definite. It is shown in the context of a toy model, that…
The observables epsilon_K and Delta M_K play a prominent role in particle physics due to their sensitivity to new physics at short distances. To take advantage of this potential, a firm theoretical prediction of the standard-model…
I explicitly calculate the anomalous dimensions and splitting functions governing the Q^2 evolution of the parton densities and structure functions which result from the running coupling BFKL equation at LO, i.e. I perform a resummation in…
Recent data on B decays involving $\eta'$ may be explained if the singlet axial current of charmed quarks has large matrix element to $\eta'$, and instantons were shown to be able to generate this effect. We study the magnitude of charm…
In this work, we will present the first complete calculation of the one-loop longitudinal photon-to-quark-antiquark light cone wave function, with massive quarks. The quark masses are renormalized in the pole mass scheme. The result is used…
DIS data from HERA show a striking regularity as \sigma^{\gamma^* p} is a function of the ratio \tau=Q^2/Q_s^2(x) only. The scaling function shows a break at \tau ~ 1, which has been taken as an indication for saturation. However, besides…
We present preliminary results in the charm sector from a mixed-action setup, in which CLS $N_f=2+1$ ensembles are combined with a Wilson twisted mass valence action. We study the continuum and chiral limits of charm quark observables such…
Recent measurements of the branching fraction for D_s -> l nu disagree with the Standard Model expectation, which relies on calculations of $f_{D_s}$ from lattice QCD. This paper uses recent preliminary measurements from CLEO and a new…
