Single pseudoscalar and vector mesons hard semi-inclusive photoproduction $\gamma h \to MX" via higher twist (HT) mechanism is calculated using the QCD running coupling constant method. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of…
I present a brief review of the generalized Brodsky-Lepage-McKenzie (BLM) approaches to fix the scale-dependence of the renormalization group (RG) invariant quantities in QCD. At first, these approaches are based on the expansions of the…
We introduce a new multiscale restoration algorithm for images with few photons counts and its use for denoising XMM data. We use a thresholding of the wavelet space so as to remove the noise contribution at each scale while preserving the…
We argue that the production of Mueller-Navelet jets at the LHC represents a convenient environment to study gluon saturation and high energy scattering in the presence of unitarity corrections. We show that, in a suitable range of…
