We show that an endpoint overlap model can explain the scaling laws observed in exclusive hadronic reactions at large momentum transfer. The model assumes one of the valence quarks carries most of the hadron momentum. Hadron form factors…

We study QCD hard processes at scales of order k^2 > Lambda^2 in the limit in which the beta-function coefficient - b is taken to be small, but alphas(k) is kept fixed. The (nonperturbative) Pomeron is exponentially suppressed in this…
We consider the flavour non-singlet Reggeon within the context of perturbative QCD. This consists of ladders built out of ``reggeized'' quarks. We propose a method for the numerical solution of the integro-differential equation for the…
We find novel perturbative fixed points by introducing mildly spacetime-dependent couplings into otherwise marginal terms. In four-dimensional QFT, these are physical analogues of the small-$\epsilon$ Wilson-Fisher fixed point. Rather than…
We propose a fully non-perturbative method to compute inelastic lepton-nucleon ($\ell N$) scattering cross sections using lattice QCD. The method is applicable even at low energies, such as the energy region relevant for the recent and…
We perform a global fit to the structure function F_2 measured in lepton-proton experiments at small values of Bjorken-x, x\le 0.01, for all experimentally available values of Q^2, 0.045 GeV^2\le Q^2 \le 800 GeV^2. We show that the recent…
Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…
The strong coupling constants $g_{{\Sigma_{Q}\Lambda_{Q}\pi}}$ ($Q=b$ and $c$) are studied in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules using the most general form of the baryonic currents. The predicted coupling constants are used to…
We calculate the coupling constants between the light vector mesons and heavy baryons within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rule in the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Most resulting sum rules are stable with the…
The conventional parametrizations of lattice static interquark force are shown to produce a mismatch of coupling constant near the matching point R_m \approx 0.2 fm. The running coupling constant of the background perturbation theory yields…
In this thesis we explore a diverse array of issues that strike at the inherently nonperturbative structure of hadrons at momenta below the QCD confinement scale. In so doing, we mainly seek a better control over the partonic substructure…
