Hawkes process is a class of simple point processes that is self-exciting and has clustering effect. The intensity of this point process depends on its entire past history. It has wide applications in finance, insurance, neuroscience,…

Exclusive vector meson production from real and virtual photons is, for the most part, described well by soft pomeron exchange. However, there are some unsolved normalisation problems, and just a hint that an additional contribution from…
We discuss the application of the tensor formalism of HQET to the strong decays of heavy hadrons. We treat both meson and baryon decays, and note that all of our results are in agreement with the `spin-counting' arguments of Isgur and Wise.…
We consider the general theoretical framework to study exclusive double diffractive events (EDDE). It is a powerful tool to study the picture of the $pp$ interaction. Basic kinematical and dynamical properties of the process, and also…
The exclusive photoproduction of a pair of light mesons is studied within the framework of collinear factorisation. The amplitude factorises into a process-dependent perturbatively calculable hard part, a generalised parton distribution…
The decay of the Higgs boson into two photons is discussed. Using Sudakov technicue, we study a new type of double logarithms in the case of the light quark loop. First, we examine the origin of such logarithms at the one loop level. Then…

In the presented article we consider exclusive weak decays of doubly heavy baryons with spin $J=1/2$ with production of leptonic pair or a set of light mesons. Using QCD factorization theorem and spectral functions approach we obtain…
In the study of multiple scattering of partons in hadron-hadron collisions the possibility of a hard inelastic process at the parton level is included in its simplest possible way, $i.e.$ including the $2 \to 3$ transition. The specific…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays are discussed. The emphasis is on using semileptonic decays to determine |V_{ub}| and |V_{cb}|. Recent progress in our understanding of B semileptonic decays to excited charmed mesons is also reviewed.
Resonance-mediated many body decays of heavy mesons are analyzed. We focus on some particular processes, in which the available phase space for the decay of the intermediate resonance is very narrow. It is shown that the mass selection…
