A review is made of the odderon idea in high-energy physics, complemented by an outline of the recent calculations of the odderon properties in the perturbative QCD.
We present our recent results on the odderon intercept in perturbative QCD, obtained through the solution of the Baxter equation and investigation of the spectrum of the relevant constant of motion.
Collider processes with identified hadrons in the final state are widely studied in view of determining details of the proton structure and of understanding hadronization. Their theory description requires the introduction of fragmentation…
We propose a method for measuring the hadron charge asymmetry in $\ee$ collisions which is based upon the fragmentation function formalism, and is largely independent of modelling of fragmentation effects. Furthermore, in this method, QCD…
We consider the process of annihilation of e^+ e^- to three pion final state for the case of moderately high energies. The final state emission of virtual and real photon is considered explicitly. The calculations are performed in frames of…
It is widely believed that hadronisation leads to 1/Q corrections to e+e- event shapes. We show that there are further corrections, proportional to (ln Q)^A/Q with A=4C_A/beta_0~=1.6, associated with hadron masses and whose relative…
In this presentation, we describe the computation of higher-order QED effects relevant in hadronic collisions. In particular, we discuss the calculation of mixed QCD-QED one-loop contributions to the Altarelli-Parisi splittings functions,…
We review several aspects of the recent theoretical progress in K and B decays including the impact of the top quark discovery on rare and CP violating decays. In particular we summarize the present status of next-to-leading QCD…
Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and quarks in supersymmetric theories can be measured in the processes e^+e^- -> Q Qbar + Higgs. We have determined the cross sections of these processes in the minimal supersymmetric model including…
I reconsider the forward-backward asymmetry for flavoured quarks in electron-positron annihilation. I suggest an infrared-safe definition of this observable, such that the asymmetry may be computed in perturbative QCD with massless quarks.…
Physical quantities in QCD are independent of renormalization scheme (RS), but that exact invariance is spoiled by truncations of the perturbation series. "Optimization" corresponds to making the perturbative approximant, at any given…
The collimation $C$ of a hadronic event in the e^+e^- annihilation is defined as the average of $\cos\theta$, $C=<\cos\theta>$, where $\theta$ is the angle of each hadron measured from the thrust axis, and the average is over all the…
A summary of the current understanding of methods of analytical higher order perturbative computations of total cross sections and decay widths in Quantum Chromodynamics is presented. As examples, the total cross section in electron…
Some of the most interesting Higgs-production processes at future e+ e- colliders are of the type e+ e- -> f anti-f H. We present a calculation of the complete O(alpha) corrections to these processes in the Standard Model for final-state…
This document is one of a series of whitepapers from the USQCD collaboration. Here, we discuss opportunities for lattice QCD calculations related to the structure and spectroscopy of hadrons and nuclei. An overview of recent lattice…
I describe recent progress toward calculating hadronic interactions with Lattice QCD.
The calculation of the R-ratio of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is discussed. The method, which enables one to properly account for all the effects due to continuation of the spacelike perturbative results into the timelike…
We provide a glimpse of recent progress in hadron physics made using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, reviewing: the notion of in-hadron condensates and a putative solution of a gross problem with the cosmological constant; the dynamical…

We consider the virtual effects of a general type of Anomalous (triple) Gauge Couplings on various experimental observables in the process of electron-positron annihilation into a final fermion-antifermion state. We show that the use of a…
