We recall the physical features of the parton distributions in the quantum statistical approach of the nucleon. Some predictions from a next-to-leading order QCD analysis are compared to recent experimental results. We also consider their…
Quarkonia represent excellent tools for understanding the role of multiparton interactions (MPI) in small systems, i.e., pp and p-A collisions. Probing MPI with quarkonia can be done directly by looking at quarkonium associated production,…
It is the purpose of this note to point out that the CMS observation is in line with previous observations in particle physics at large transverse momenta and/or high multiplicities at lower energies, which were interpreted as possible…
Recent developments aimed at mapping QCD phase diagram and the search for the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions are briefly reviewed.
We review the perturbative approach to multiparticle production in hard collision processes. It is investigated to what extent parton level analytical calculations at low momentum cut-off can reproduce experimental data on the hadronic…
I review recent progress in perturbative QCD on two fronts: extending next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to a broader range of collider processes, and applying twistor-space methods (and related spinoffs) to computations of…
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…
We illustrate the progress of covariant QCD phenomenology for the description of meson coupling constants and form factors. As examples, we discuss the $\rho\pi\pi$ and $\gamma \pi\rho$ interactions, the $\rho$ contribution to the pion…
Having access to the parton-level kinematics is important for understanding the internal dynamics of particle collisions. Here, we present new results aiming to an efficient reconstruction of parton collisions using machine-learning…
Multiple parton interactions are typically implemented in Montecarlo codes by assuming a Poissonian distribution of collisions with average number depending on the impact parameter. A possible generalization, which links the process to…
Over the last years, Machine Learning (ML) tools have been successfully applied to a wealth of problems in high-energy physics. In this work, we discuss the extraction of the average number of Multiparton Interactions ($\langle N_{\rm mpi}…
Multiple Parton Interactions are the tool to obtain information on the correlations between partons in the hadron structure. Partons may be correlated in all degrees of freedom and all different correlation terms contribute to the cross…
Inclusive single jet production in hadron collisions is considered. It is shown that the QCD parton model predicts a nonmonotonic dependence of the inclusive cross section on the fraction of the energy deposited in the jet registered, if it…
An effective residual interaction for a meson-meson system is computed in lattice QCD. We describe the theoretical framework and present its application to the I=2 channel S-wave interaction of the pi pi system. Scattering phase shifts are…
The aim of these lectures is to provide (experimental particle physics Ph.D.) students with an introduction to some of the core concepts and methods of QCD that are relevant in an LHC context.
Hard processes in high-energy proton-nucleus collisions are a powerful tool in order to investigate several importants aspects of QCD in a nuclear medium, such as nuclear shadowing, parton multiple scattering or medium-induced gluon…
We analyze high multiplicity proton-proton ($pp$) collision data in the framework of the String Percolation Model (SPM) that has been successful in describing several phenomena of multiparticle production, including the signatures of recent…
We present an algorithm to evaluate the exact, tree-level matrix elements for multi-parton processes in QCD. We tested this technique, based on the recursive evaluation of the S-matrix, on processes such as gg -> n gluons and q qbar -> n…
