We have performed a study of the isovector, octet and singlet axial charges of the proton in an extended chiral constituent quark model, where all the possible $uudq\bar{q}$~($q=u,d,s$) five-quark Fock components in the proton wave function…
We combine the known asymptotic behaviour of the QCD perturbation series expansion, which relates the pole mass of a heavy quark to the MSbar mass, with the exact series coefficients up to the four-loop order to determine the ultimate…
We study di-hadron correlations in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV and interpret experimental data in terms of a fragmentation width and a momentum imbalance. A fragmentation width of $580 \pm 50$ GeV/c is obtained, and the…
The AdS/CFT correspondence and a classical test string approximation are used to calculate the drag force on an external quark moving in a thermal plasma of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. This computation is motivated by the phenomenon of…
Data from H1 and ZEUS on the structure and the quark and gluon densities of the proton are discussed. A brief excursion is made into the field of inclusive diffraction by deep inelastic scattering. The comparison of e- p and e+ p scattering…
We report two measurements of the top quark mass M_top using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318 pb^-1 data sample observed in the lepton + jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in…

We calculate the leading twist contribution to near-forward proton-proton (and proton-antiproton) elastic scattering with large momentum transfer, in the multiple scattering (Landshoff) mechanism. The amplitude in the near-forward region is…
We study the energy loss of a heavy quark propagating through the matter produced in the collision of two sheets of energy [1]. Even though this matter is initially far-from-equilibrium we find that, when written in terms of the energy…
Properties of events originating from proton--antiproton interactions in which the total transverse energy of the event exceeded 400 GeV are presented. Based on a data sample of 5.45 pb-1, the topology of these hard scattering events as…
We study $pp$ scattering at high energies and moderately large momentum transfer using a QCD--based model in which the proton is viewed as being composed of a quark and a diquark. This model leads to spin asymmetries which are neither small…
A search is performed for a massive new vector-like quark T, with charge 2/3, that is pair produced together with its antiparticle in proton-proton collisions. The data were collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in…

Single-spin asymmetries observed in polarised deep-inelastic scattering are important probes of hadron structure. The Sivers asymmetry provides information about the transverse momentum of the struck quark and can be related to final-state…
The frictional forces in sheared fermionic gas are investigated. The gas is sheared by two sliding surfaces. Except for a small imperfection (bulge) on one of them, the surfaces are totally smooth. We show that when the bulge is extremely…

The theory governing the strong nuclear force, Quantum Chromodynamics, predicts that at sufficiently high energy densities hadronic nuclear matter undergoes a deconfinement transition to a new phase of quarks and gluons. Although this has…
