We discuss observables in multiparticle production for three kinds of limits of decreasing kinematical scales: 1. the transition jet \to hadron (limit y_{cut}\to 0 of the resolution parameter y_{cut}); 2. single particle inclusive…
Several new developments in the calculation and interpretation of hadron density-density correlation functions are presented. The asymptotic behavior of correlation functions is determined from a tree diagram path integral. A method is…
In this talk, we review a QCD factorization based approach to extract parton distribution and correlation functions from lattice QCD calculation of single hadron matrix elements of quark-gluon operators. We argue that although the lattice…
General principles of quantum field theory imply that there exists an operator product expansion (OPE) for Wightman functions in Minkowski momentum space that converges for arbitrary kinematics. This convergence is guaranteed to hold in the…
We summarize the application of derivatives of the QCD pressure, calculated within the framework of lattice QCD, in constructing observables that probe aspects of the QCD phase diagram at physical quark masses. We outline how the behavior…
Double parton fragmentation is a process in which a pair of partons produced in the short-distance process hadronize into the final state hadron. This process is important for quarkonium production when the transverse momentum is much…
The next to leading order (NLO) quarkonium-hadron cross section is calculated in perturbative QCD. The corresponding leading order (LO) result was performed by Peskin more than 20 years ago using the operator product expansion (OPE). In…
This thesis work summarizes studies in QCD for applications both at hadron colliders and in exclusive processes. In the first part we focus our attention on the study of the initial state scaling violations and the evolution of the…
We pursue the issue of the local quark-hadron duality at high energies in two- and four-dimensional QCD. A mechanism of the dynamical realization of the quark-hadron duality in two-dimensional QCD in the limit of large number of colors,…
We study the dihadron fragmentation functions (DiFF) of longitudinally polarized quarks into pion pairs. The quark-jet framework is used to model the sequential hadronization of a polarized quark into hadrons, where the polarization…
We employ a novel new approach to study local quark-hadron duality using "truncated" moments, or integrals of structure functions over restricted regions of x, to determine the degree to which individual resonance regions are dominated by…
Light front wave functions motivated by holographic constructions are used to study Bloom-Gilman duality of deep inelastic scattering. Separate expressions for structure functions in terms of quark and hadronic degrees of freedom are…
Even though quantum chromodynamics is a broken conformal theory, the AdS/CFT correspondence has led to important insights into the properties of QCD. For example, as shown by Polchinski and Strassler, dimensional counting rules for the…
Although equivalent in the infinite-momentum limit, large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) and short-distance operator product expansion (SD-OPE) are two different approaches to extract parton distribution functions (PDFs) from…
Exclusive hadron production processes in photon-photon collisions provide important tests of QCD at the amplitude level, particularly as measures of hadron distribution amplitudes and skewed parton distributions. The determination of the…
We present an exploratory QCD analysis of the neutrino structure functions in charged current DIS using the color dipole formalism. The dipole cross sections are taken from recent phenomenological/theoretical studies in deep inelastic…
We use the known renormalon structure of Bjorken polarised sum rule (BSR) ${\overline \Gamma}_1^{p-n}(Q^2)$ to evaluate the leading-twist part of that quantity. In addition, we include $D=2$ and $D=4$ Operator Product Expansion (OPE) terms…
QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry…
We present results for the hadronic running of the electromagnetic coupling and the weak mixing angle from simulations of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. Using two different discretisations of the…
Motivated by phenomenological models of hidden local symmetries and the ideas of dimensional deconstruction and gauge/gravity duality, we consider the model of an "open moose". Such a model has a large number K of hidden gauge groups as…
