As is known from the classical theory of complex angular momenta, along with the Regge poles in the complex $j$ - plane should be cuts that are generated by the poles. In QCD, the cuts are generated by exchanges of the Reggeized gluons,…
Electroweak Sudakov corrections of the form alpha^n log^m s/M_{W,Z}^2 are summed using renormalization group evolution in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). Results are given for the scalar, vector and tensor form-factors for fermion…

We construct the soft-collinear effective Lagrangian which is manifestly gauge invariant order by order. Field redefinitions of collinear gauge fields and a proper decomposition of quark fields are necessary to make the Lagrangian gauge…
We point out that the gauge-invariance of the subleading Lagrangian of soft-collinear effective theory is realised in an intricate way through momentum-conservation violating contributions. Although these terms are disregarded in…
Nucleus-nucleus scattering is studied in the local Reggeon Field Theory in the quasi-classical approximation with non-eikonal boundary conditions corresponding to the Glauber picture at low energies. Comparison with the commonly used…
Gauge invariance in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) is discussed in regular (covariant) and singular (light-cone) gauges. It is argued that SCET, as it stands, is not capable to define in a gauge invariant way certain…
We derive a factorization theorem for the Higgs boson transverse momentum (p_T) and rapidity (Y) distributions at hadron colliders, using the Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), for m_h>> p_T>> \Lambda_{QCD} where m_h denotes the Higgs…
Soft-collinear effective theory is generalized to include soft massless quarks in addition to collinear fields. This extension is necessary for the treatment of interactions with the soft spectator quark in a heavy meson. The power counting…
Two key issues in the application of perturbative QCD and Regge predictions to high energy processes are whether the hard and soft pomerons should be considered as two separate distinct exchanges and whether the Regge intercepts are Q^2…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to Regge theory as it pertains to the study of hadrons and their interactions. We clarify the fundamental concepts of analyticity in the complex angular momentum plane and their implications for…
After the discovery of a new resonance, its couplings to the Standard Model (SM) need to be described by the means of an effective theory, appropriately constructed to separate its mass scale from the mass scales associated with the SM…
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of $S$-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical…

Can large distance high energy QCD be described by Reggeon Field Theory as an effective emergent theory? We start to investigate the issue employing functional renormalisation group techniques.
We extend the effective field theory for soft and collinear gravitons to interactions with fermionic matter fields. The full theory features a local Lorentz symmetry in addition to the usual diffeomorphisms, which requires incorporating the…
We construct an effective field theory describing the decays of a heavy vector resonance $V$ into Standard Model particles. The effective theory is built using an extension of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory called SCET$_{\rm BSM}$, which…
