Charged scalars appear in many motivated extensions beyond the Standard Model. We analyze the constraints on charged scalar pair production via the Drell-Yan process at the Large Hadron Collider and interpret them in terms of weak isospin…
We discuss the angular distribution of the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process, hadron+hadron -> \gamma^* X -> l^+ l^- X. This process gives information on the spin-density matrix \rho^{(q,\bar{q})} of the annihilating quark-antiquark pair…

Double parton distributions at small distances between the two partons are dominated by a mechanism in which the two observed partons originate from the splitting of a single parton. This contribution can be computed in terms of…
The Drell-Yan process is a copious source of lepton pairs at high energy and is measured with great precision at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Barring any new light particles, beyond the Standard Model effects can be studied in Drell-Yan…
Long range forward-backward multiplicity correlations have been measured with the STAR detector for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV . Strong long range correlations are observed in central Au+Au collisions. Based on the Dual…
We discuss the possibility of quantum entanglement for pairs of charged particles produced in high-energy $pp$-collisions at the LHC. Using a framework of interacting Wilson lines, we calculate 2-D and 1-D two-particle angular correlation…
We show that the parallel magnetic field-induced increase in the critical electron density for the Anderson transition in a strongly interacting two-dimensional electron system is caused by the effects of exchange and correlations. If the…
Double parton scattering (DPS) describes two colliding hadrons having interactions in the form of two hard processes, each initiated by a separate pair of partons. Just as for single parton scattering, the resummation of soft gluon exchange…
