In future measurements of the dilepton ($Z/\gamma^*$) transverse momentum, \Qt, at both the Tevatron and LHC, the achievable bin widths and the ultimate precision of the measurements will be limited by experimental resolution rather than by…
The transverse mass of semi-invisibly decaying particles, calculated from the transverse momenta of their decay products, has been used in a broad range of searches and measurements at hadron colliders, such as the LHC. This variable is…
We compile experimental data for the averaged transverse momentum ($\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $) of proton, $\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\Omega^{-}$ and $\phi$ at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5,…
The probabilistic model of parton distributions, previously developed by one of the authors, is generalized to include the transversity distribution. When interference effects are attributed to quark level only, the intrinsic quark motion…
We present a general solution to the long standing problem of determining the masses of pair-produced, semi-invisibly decaying particles at hadron colliders. We define two new transverse kinematic variables, $M_{CT_\perp}$ and…
Several distinct colour flow topologies are possible in multiparton configurations. A method is proposed to find the correct topology, based on a minimization of the total transverse momentum of produced particles. This method is studied…
We review the phenomenology of electro-weak bosons produced in hadron-hadron collisions. In particular, we discuss the transverse momentum distribution of lepton pairs with invariant mass close to the Z peak. We describe the theoretical…
We develop a complete and consistent description for the hadron spectra from heavy ion collisions in terms of a few collective variables, in particular temperature, longitudinal and transverse flow. To achieve a meaningful comparison with…
We show how the transverse polarization of a quark initiating a jet can be probed by the azimuthal distribution of two hadrons (of large $z$) in the jet. This permits a twist 2 asymmetry in hard processes when only one of the initial…
The shapes of invariant differential cross section for charged particle production as function of transverse momentum measured in heavy-ion collisions are analyzed. The data measured at RHIC and LHC are treated as function of energy density…
Highly energetic particles in the medium of a quark gluon plasma undergo processes of coherent medium induced radiation and scatterings off medium particles. We solved the evolution equations for particle fragmentation functions that…
We consider the associated production of a vector or Higgs boson with a jet in hadronic collisions. When the transverse momentum $q_T$ of the boson-jet system is much smaller than its invariant mass $Q$, the QCD perturbative expansion is…
We analyze LHC available data measuring the distribution probability of transverse momenta~$p_T$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9\,\textrm{TeV}$ (CMS, ALICE, ATLAS) and $\sqrt{s}=7\,\textrm{TeV}$ (CMS, ATLAS). A remarkably good…
Its cornerstone were studies of hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (DIS), which can be interpreted in the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) factorisation framework, allowing to access the distributions of polarisation and…
Generalization of z-scaling observed in the inclusive high-pT charged hadron and jet production is proposed. The scaling function psi(z) describing both charged hadrons and jets produced in proton-(anti)proton collisions for various…
The transverse momentum distributions of various hadrons produced in most central Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energy Root(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV have been studied using our earlier proposed unified statistical thermal freeze-out model. The calculated…
We study the cross section for the photoproduction process $\gamma N\rightarrow h X$ where the incident photon and nucleon are longitudinally polarized and a hadron $h$ is observed at high transverse momentum. Specifically, we address the…
Heavy ion collisions at high energies can be used as an interesting way to recreate and study the medium of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We particularly investigate the jets produced in hard binary collisions and their interactions with a…
We review transverse momentum distributions of various identified charged particles stemming from high energy collisions fitted by various non-extensive distributions as well as by the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. We investigate the…
We explore a novel method of mass reconstruction in events with missing transverse momentum at hadron colliders. In events with sizeable boost factors in the final steps of dual multi-stage decay chains, the missing energy particles may…
