Event shapes have long been used to extract information about hadronic final states and the properties of QCD, such as particle spin and the running coupling. Recently, a family of event shapes, the angularities, has been introduced that…
Experimental studies of power corrections with e+e- data are reviewed. An overview of the available data for jet and event shape observables is given and recent analyses based on the Dokshitzer-Marchesini-Webber (DMW) model of power…
A hadronic rescattering model with the proper hadronization time width as the free parameter is compared with charged pion and charged and neutral kaon femtoscopy measurements from the LHC ALICE experiment for sqrt{s}=7 TeV proton-proton…
The Standard Model Lagrangian requires the values of the fermion masses, the Higgs mass and three other experimentally well-measured quantities as input in order to become predictive. These are typically taken to be $\alpha$, $G_\mu$ and…
New possibilities of high precision measurements of hadron form factors in annihilation and scattering reactions over an unexplored kinematical region suggest a compared analysis, in view of a global description of the nucleon structure.
Aleatoric uncertainty quantification seeks for distributional knowledge of random responses, which is important for reliability analysis and robustness improvement in machine learning applications. Previous research on aleatoric uncertainty…
The production of charm-hadrons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 and 13 TeV was recently measured by the ALICE Collaboration. The results show that the baryon-to-meson yield ratios differ from predictions where the…
Hadronisation corrections are crucial in extractions of the strong coupling constant ($\alpha_s$) from event-shape distributions at lepton colliders. Although their dynamics cannot be understood rigorously using perturbative methods, their…
Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 and 44 GeV were used to study the 4-jet rate using the Durham algorithm as well as the first five moments of event shape…
We present the QCD analysis of D-parameter distribution in near-to-planar 3-jet e+e- annihilation events. We derive the all-order resummed perturbative prediction and the leading power suppressed non-perturbative corrections both to the…
We investigate model assessment and selection in a changing environment, by synthesizing datasets from both the current time period and historical epochs. To tackle unknown and potentially arbitrary temporal distribution shift, we develop…
We propose an application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for rapidity distributions of individual events in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The test is particularly suitable to recognise non-statistical differences between the…
The analyses of hadron production in the framework of the statistical hadronisation model are reviewed. The analysis of average multiplicities in collisions at relatively low centre-of-mass energy confirms previous findings, namely the…
We point out that the variance of net-baryon distribution normalized by the Skellam distribution baseline, $\kappa_2[B-\bar{B}]/\langle B+\bar{B}\rangle$, is sensitive to the possible modification of (anti)baryon yields due to $B\bar{B}$…
We study coarsening phenomena in three different simple exclusion processes with quenched disordered jump rates. In the case of the totally asymmetric process, an earlier phenomenological description is improved, yielding for the time…
Hadronic event shapes, that is, event shapes at hadron colliders, could provide a great way to test both standard and non-standard theoretical models. However, they are significantly more complicated than event shapes at e+e- colliders,…
The electromagnetic form factors of the $\Lambda$ hyperon in the time-like region are determined precisely through a dispersion-theoretical analysis of the world data for the cross section of the annihilation process $e^+e^-\to…

The size of non-perturbative corrections to event shape observables is predicted to fall like a power of the inverse centre of mass energy. These power corrections are investigated for different observables from e+e-annihilation and…
Statistical inference about the average effect in random-effects meta-analysis has been considered insufficient in the presence of substantial between-study heterogeneity. Predictive distributions are well-suited for quantifying…
