Correlation functions measured as a function of $\Delta \eta, \Delta \phi$ have emerged as a powerful tool to study the dynamics of particle production in nuclear collisions at high energy. They are however subject, like any other…
We investigate two distinct sources of uncertainty in low-energy nuclear physics calculations and develop ways to account for them. Harmonic oscillator basis expansions are widely used in ab-initio nuclear structure calculations. Finite…
In this article, recent measurements of diffraction in deep inelastic scattering are presented along with QCD fits to extract the partonic structure of the exchange. These so-called diffractive parton density functions can then be used in…
We calculate quasi-exclusive scattering of a virtual photon and a proton or pion in nuclear targets. This is the first complete calculation of ``color transparency" and "nuclear filtering " in perturbative QCD. The calculation includes full…
Recent experimental data on diffractive deep inelastic scattering collected by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA are analysed in a model with a non-linear trajectory in the pomeron flux. The $t$ dependence of the diffractive structure…
A characteristic feature of small-x lepton-proton data from HERA is geometric scaling -- the fact that over a wide range of x and Q^2 all data can be described by a single variable $Q^2/Q_{sat}^2(x)$, with all x-dependence encoded in the…
The diffraction dissociation of virtual photons is considered in the framework of conventional Regge theory. It is shown that the recent HERA data on large rapidity gap events can be successfully described in terms of the Pomeron structure…
We construct a dynamical model for the parton distributions in a nucleus by perturbative evolution of input distributions from a low starting scale. These input distributions are obtained by modifications of the corresponding free nucleon…
The dependence of the fractal behaviors of the pomeron induced system in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering upon the diffractive kinematic variables is found rather robust and not sensitive to the distinct parameterization of the…

We present the results of a phenomenological study of unpolarized nuclear structure functions for a wide kinematical region of x and Q^2. As a basis of our phenomenology we develop a model which takes into account a number of different…
Nucleon structure functions can be observed in Deep Inelastic Scattering experiments, but it is an outstanding challenge to confront them with fully non-perturbative QCD results. For this purpose we investigate the product of…
Nuclear transparency in the (e,e'p) reaction for 135 < Tp < 800 MeV is investigated using the distorted wave approximation. Calculations using density-dependent effective interactions are compared with phenomenological optical potentials.…
Several experiments at the electron-proton ($ep$) collider HERA have collected high precision data on the spectrum of leading-proton and leading-neutron carrying a large fraction of the proton's energy. In this paper, we have analyzed…
In nucleus-nucleus collisions, high-pt electron spectra depend on the medium modified fragmentation of their massive quark parents, thus giving novel access to the predicted mass hierarchy of parton energy loss. Here we calculate these…
We construct a model for inelastic neutrino- and electron-nucleon scattering cross sections using effective leading order parton distribution functions with a new scaling variable $\xi_w$. Non-perturbative effects are well described using…
We study $eA$ scattering in a model where the total nuclear structure function is a convolution of components $W_N$ for an isolated nucleon and $W_{\NA}$ for a nucleus composed of point-nucleons. $W_N$ is represented by its elastic and…
