We discuss a modification of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) subtraction scheme based on the residue-improved sector decomposition that reduces the number of double-real emission sectors from five to four. In particular, a sector…
We study in a framework of QCD collinear factorization the processes of a pion and a photon diffraction dissociation into two jets. The structure of non-factorizable contributions is discussed. We argue that coherent production of hard…
A new class of exclusion type processes acting in continuum with synchronous updating is introduced and studied. Ergodic averages of particle velocities are obtained and their connections to other statistical quantities, in particular to…
We present and discuss a systematic calculation, based on two-loop chiral perturbation theory, of the pion-nuclear s-wave optical potential. A proper treatment of the explicit energy dependence of the off-shell pion self-energy together…
Processes with three external electroweak gauge boson allow for a measurement of triple and quartic gauge couplings. They can be used to constrain anomalous gauge couplings, where new physics might predominantly couple to electroweak gauge…
After a short status report on chiral perturbation theory, I review recent progress in determining some of the low-energy couplings by matching the effective theory to QCD. Consequences for K_{l3} decays and for the extraction of the CKM…
A selected set of topics along the borderline between perturbative and nonperturbative QCD in exclusive reactions are studied. Specific problems, related to different mechanisms of momentum transfer to an intact hadron, are discussed.…

A survey is given on selected topics of physics in the non-perturbative, hadronic sector of the QCD phase diagramme. Following a brief QCD primer, some highlights of Lattice QCD are summarised. Chiral effective field theory as the…
A short presentation of the results of the analytical evaluation of the O(\alpha_s^2) QCD contributions in the fermionic decay rates of the neutral CP-odd minimal supersymmetric Higgs particle is made. The corrections due to the…
We discuss theoretical issues in radiative rare kaon decays. The interest is twofold: to extract useful short-distance information and understand the underlying dynamics. We emphasize channels where either we can understand non-perturbative…
A review of the modern theory of hadronic atoms based on the non-relativistic effective Lagrangian approach and ChPT, is given. As an application of the general framework, we consider the decay of the pi+pi- atom into two neutral pions, and…
The proton form factor, two-photon annihilations into $p\bar{p}$ as well as exclusive charmonium decays are critically examined. It will be argued that the standard perturbative QCD analysis of these reactions fails, i.e. the need for…
Negative ion detachment in two-colour laser field is considered within the recent modification of Keldysh model which makes it quantitatively reliable. The general approach is illustrated by calculation of angular differential detachment…
The derivation of cross sections and decay rates in the Lorentz-violating standard-model extension is discussed. General features of the physics are described, and some conceptual and calculational issues are addressed. As an illustrative…
The talk contains a short introduction to mesonic Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In addition four disparate areas where some progress has been made in recent years are discussed. These are the last fit of the order $p^4$…
Long-range quasi-static gauge-boson interactions lead to anomalous (non-Fermi-liquid) behavior of the specific heat in the low-temperature limit of an electron or quark gas with a leading $T\ln T^{-1}$ term. We obtain perturbative results…
I review the current status of nonleptonic kaon decays, placing special emphasis on the recent theoretical progress. In particular, I concentrate on 3 points: (i) the improved determination of \epsilon_K, including both perturbative and…
In this article I summarize recent progress in the effective field theory approach to low energy nuclear systems, with a focus on the power counting issue. In the pionless sector, where the power counting is quite well understood at the…
The recent discovery and resummation of a class of single-logarithmic effects (non-global logs), has a significant impact on several QCD observables ranging from the classic Sterman-Weinberg jet definition to currently studied event shapes…
