In the high energy regime, the proton structure consists of a very large number of particles called partons (quarks and gluons) that interact with each other, according to the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).…

In these proceedings, I report on a selection of recent LHC results in small systems from ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments. Due to the fact that the investigation of QCD in small systems at high multiplicity is becoming an increasingly…
We briefly recall the main physical features of the parton distributions in the quantum statistical picture of the nucleon. Some predictions from a next-to-leading order QCD analysis are successfully compared to recent unpolarized and…

In this letter we study the photoproduction of heavy quarks and vector mesons in the coherent proton-nucleus (pA) interactions for RHIC and LHC energies and analyze if these processes can be used to determine the QCD dynamics at high…
The study of multiplicity dependent di-hadron angular correlations allows us to assess the contribution of multiple-parton interactions to particle production. We will review these measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions with the ALICE…

Open issues on the structure of multiple interactions are outlined. An improved model is summarized, with a new approach to correlated parton densities in flavour, colour, longitudinal and transverse momenta, for both hard-scattering…
In this talk, I review the status of theoretical understanding of nuclear structure functions and parton distributions and discuss the constraints on nuclear parton distributions from existing data and the global QCD analysis.
This is a short communication with a summary of results obtained with a model based on Gribov's reggeon calculus, which was proposed and applied to processes of soft diffraction at high energies. We present a brief description of the model…
We discuss several examples of how the transverse spatial distribution of partons in the nucleon, as well as multiparton correlations, can be probed by observing hard processes (dijets) in high-energy pp (pbar p) and pA (dA) collisions.…

A key focus of the physics program at the LHC is the study of head-on proton-proton collisions. However, an important class of physics can be studied for cases where the protons narrowly miss one another and remain intact. In such cases,…
