In this paper we present a detailed comparison of the dijet production by photon -- photon, photon -- pomeron and pomeron -- pomeron interactions in $pp$, $pA$ and ${\rm AA}$ collisions at the LHC energy. The transverse momentum, pseudo --…
We apply the Sudakov technique to description of the multiple production of lepton pairs in peripheral collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions. For heavy ions with $Z_1\alpha\sim Z_2\alpha\ll 1$ one needs a careful treatment of the…

We investigate lepton-pair production in hard exclusive hadron-hadron collisions. We consider a double handbag (DH) mechanism in which the process amplitude factorizes in hard subprocesses, qq -> qq gamma* and qg -> qg gamma*, and in soft…
We describe correlations of low-$Q^2$ parton fragments on transverse rapidity $y_t$ and angles $(\eta,\phi)$ from p-p and Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 130 and 200 GeV. Evolution of correlations on $y_t$ from p-p to more-central Au-Au…
We investigate photon production in a scenario of quark-gluon plasma formation in proton-proton scattering at 7 TeV. It is shown that thermal photon yields increase quadratically with the charged particle multiplicity. This gives an…

Multiple parton collisions will represent a rather common feature in pp collisions at the LHC, where regimes with very large momentum transfer may be studied and events rare in lower energy accelerators might occur with a significant rate.…
The transverse-momentum ($Q_T$) distribution of low-mass Drell-Yan pairs is calculated in QCD perturbation theory with all-order resummation of $\alpha_s (\alpha_s \ln(Q^2_T/Q^2))^n$ type terms. We demonstrate that the rapidity distribution…
