I survey recent developments in hadron physics which follow from the application of superconformal quantum mechanics and light-front holography. This includes new insights into the physics of color confinement, chiral symmetry, the…
Several topics in QCD are reviewed, including: the light-cone Fock state representation, which encodes the flavor, spin and other quark and gluon correlations of hadrons in the form of universal process-independent amplitudes; the…
The measurement of the forward-backward asymmetries of heavy quarks provides one of the most precise determinations of $\sin^2\theta_W$ in $Z$ decays. We discuss in detail the one--loop QCD radiative corrections to these asymmetries.…

I review the status of next-to-leading-order calculations for hadronic final states in deeply-inelastic lepton--nucleon scattering. In more detail, I focus on calculations of (2+1)-jet-type cross sections, describe recent progress in…
Motivated by various excesses observed by the Fermi-LAT and AMS collaborations, we perform a detailed analysis of QCD uncertainties on particle spectra from dark-matter annihilation (or decay) into jets. When annihilated to SM particles,…

We present a leading colour computation of the double virtual contributions to top-quark pair production in association with a jet at a hadron collider at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. The finite remainders of the two-loop…
A fundamental goal in QCD is to understand the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark,…
