A main feature of high-energy scattering in QCD is saturation in the number density of gluons. This phenomenon is described by non-linear evolution equations, JIMWLK and BK, which have been derived at leading logarithmic accuracy. In this…
In this paper we study QCD and power corrections to sum rules which show up in deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering. Furthermore we will make a distinction between fundamental sum rules which can be derived from quantum field theory and…

QCD calculations for collider physics make use of perturbative solutions of renormalisation group equations (RGEs). Ambiguities related to these solutions can contribute significantly to systematic uncertainties of theoretical predictions…
Lattice data seems to show that power corrections should be convoked to describe appropriately the transition of the QCD coupling constant running from U.V. to I.R. domains. Those power corrections for the Landau-gauge MOM coupling constant…
We present the QCD analysis of the cumulative out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in the process proton-antiproton into Z0 and a hard jet (event plane defined by the proton, antiproton and Z0 momenta). Particular attention is placed on…
We compute the NNLO QCD corrections to three-photon production at the LHC. This is the first NNLO QCD calculation for a $2\to 3$ process. Our calculation is exact, except for the scale-independent part of the two-loop finite remainder which…
The production of two isolated photons in high-energy hadron collisions poses a challenge to perturbative QCD because of large corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We present novel next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order…
The experimental results of the future electron -- ion ($e A$) collider are expected to constrain the dynamics of the strong interactions at small values of the Bjorken -- $x$ variable and large nuclei. Recently it has been suggested that…
We compute perturbative QCD corrections to $B \to D$ form factors at leading power in $\Lambda/m_b$, at large hadronic recoil, from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes in HQET. QCD factorization for the…
We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of two Z-bosons in the annihilation of two gluons at the LHC. Being enhanced by a large gluon flux, these corrections provide distinct and, potentially, the dominant…
We study non-linear contributions to the power spectrum of the curvature perturbation on super-horizon scales, produced during slow-roll inflation driven by a canonical single scalar field. We find that on large scales the linear power…
