By introducing Q^2-dependence in resonance-reggeon "soft" dual models with nonlinear trajectories, they are extended to "hard" processes, sharing the property of parton-hadron duality. The resulting object is a two-component complex…
The QCD running coupling $\alpha_s(Q^2)$ sets the strength of the interactions of quarks and gluons as a function of the momentum transfer $Q$. The $Q^2$ dependence of the coupling is required to describe hadronic interactions at both large…

We have carried out an analysis of helicity and partial-wave amplitudes for the process D -> K^* \rho in the factorization approximation using several models for the form factors. All the models, with the exception of one, generate…
We applied QCD Light Cone Sum Rules to estimate power corrections to the helicity-conserving amplitude in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to \pi\pi$. We found that above $Q^2 \sim 4$ GeV$^2$ power corrections are numerically small and the…
We use supersymmetric Ward identities to relate multi-gluon helicity amplitudes involving a pair of massive quarks to amplitudes with massive scalars. This allows to use the recent results for scalar amplitudes with an arbitrary number of…
We develop the formal tools needed to construct helicity amplitudes for massive gravitino in N=1 SUGRA. We start by considering the helicity states for massive spin-3/2 particles, which involves the solutions of Rarita-Schwinger equation.…
We calculate the genus-one three- and four-point amplitudes in the 2+2 dimensional closed N=(2,2) worldsheet supersymmetric string within the RNS formulation. Vertex operators are redefined with the incorporation of spinor helicity…
We compute the helicity amplitudes for the processes $gg\to Zg$ and $gg\to Z\gamma$ to two loops in massless QCD. The perturbative expansion of these processes starts only at the one-loop level, such that our results are a crucial…
Amplitudes for the reaction $\pi^-p\to \Lambda K^0$ are reconstructed from data on the differential cross section $d\sigma/d\Omega$, the recoil polarization $P$, and on the spin rotation parameter $\beta$. At low energies, no data on…
We present an explicit expression for a particular $n$-gluon two loop scattering partial amplitude. Specifically we present an analytic form for the single trace $N_c$ independent colour partial amplitude for the case where all external…
The differential cross section for the process p(e,e'p)eta has been measured at Q^2 = 2.4 and 3.6 (GeV/c)^2 at center-of-mass energies encompassing the S11(1535) resonance. The latter point is the highest-Q^2 exclusive measurement of this…

The available data on the $Q^2$ dependence of the $\gamma\gamma*(Q^2)\to K\bar K\pi$ reaction cross section in the energy region 1.35-1.55 GeV is explained by the $\eta(1475)$ resonance production in contrast to their conventional…
