We consider inelastic QED processes, the cross sections of which do not drop with increasing energy. Such reactions have the form of two-jet processes with the exchange of a virtual photon in the t-channel. We consider them in the region of…
We explain how Regge theory and perturbative evolution may be made compatible at small x. The result not only gives striking support to the two-pomeron description of small-x behaviour, but gives a rather clean test of perturbative QCD…
We briefly summarize some recent theoretical developments in perturbative QCD, emphasizing new ideas which have led to widening the domain of applicability of perturbation theory. In particular, it is now possible to calculate efficiently…
A new method of extracting diffractive parton distributions is presented which avoids the use of Regge theory ansatz and is in much closer relation with the factorization theorem for diffarctive hard processes.
We present an expression for the QCD amplitude for a general hard scattering process with any number of soft gluon emissions, to one-loop accuracy. The amplitude is written in two different but equivalent ways: as a product of operators…
A hierarchy of effective field theories is used to separate the contributions from different momentum scales and to calculate the free energy of QCD at high temperature in powers of the coupling constant up to order $g^5$. The behavior of…
We study the high-energy small-angle {\it Regge} limit of the fermion-antifermion scattering in gauge theories and consider the part of the amplitude suppressed by a power of the scattering angle. For abelian gauge group all-order…
The present status of applications of perturbative QCD to large momentum transfer exclusive reactions is discussed. It is argued that in the region of momentum transfer accessible to present day experiments soft contributions dominate the…
The gradient flow in QCD is treated perturbatively through next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant. The evaluation of the relevant momentum and flow-time integrals is described, including various means of validation.…
This thesis comprises two investigations, both connected with the attempt to understand Regge theory in the framework of QCD. The first is about how the odderon, a Reggeon carrying no charge which is odd under charge conjugation, couples to…
In this paper we deal with high energy scattering in the Regge limit, using a soft cascade approach. We derive an evolution equation for the gluon density in soft gluons cascades in the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD,…
We review the extension of the factorization formalism of perturbative QCD to soft rescattering associated with hard processes in nuclei.
We give an introduction to the special problems encountered in a treatment of HQET beyond perturbation theory in the gauge coupling constant. In particular, we report on a recent test of HQET as an effective theory for QCD and discuss how…
Using the Kirschner-Lipatov equation as a basis, we study high energy elastic quark-quark amplitudes, which correspond to secondary Reggeons and pion exchange in the double-logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD.
We study the Regge regime of QCD as a special regime of lattice gauge theory on an asymmetric lattice. This lattice has a spacing $a_0 $ in the longitudinal direction and a spacing $a_t $ in the transversal direction. The limit…
This talk reviewed some classic results and recent progress in the resummation of leading and nonleading enhancements in QCD cross sections and of poles in dimensionally-regularized hard-scattering amplitudes.
There are indications of a faith transition in QCD: The strong coupling may freeze at a sufficiently low value to make PQCD relevant even in the confining regime. The properties of PQCD at low Q^2 depend on the asymptotic field…
We recall the main features of the Regge approach used to understand soft interactions at LHC and higher energies. Unitarity tames the power growth of the elastic proton-proton scattering amplitude with energy, and leads to the migration of…
Multiplicity of sets of soft jets with energies ranging in some interval is determined. The possible role of collective effects is discussed.
Within the kt-factorization approach, we evaluate the impact factor of the transition gamma* -> rhoT taking into account the twist 3 contributions. We show that a gauge invariant expression is obtained with the help of QCD equations of…
