There is mounting theoretical evidence that black hole horizons induce decoherence on a quantum system, say a particle, put in a superposition of locations, with the decoherence functional, evaluated after closure of the superposition,…
Three body decays can exhibit CP violation that arises from interfering diagrams with different orderings of the final state particles. We construct several momentum asymmetry observables that are accessible in a hadron collider environment…
The coherent radiation of the electron beam with account of particle position correlations because of strong Coulomb interaction is considered. For the first time it is shown that the coherency of the radiation of the bunch with account of…
We estimate the probability of random $N$-qudit pure states violating full-correlation Bell inequalities with two dichotomic observables per site. These inequalities can show violations that grow exponentially with $N$, but we prove this is…
Factorization violating effects in hadron scattering are due mainly to spectator-spectator interactions. While it is known that these interactions cancel in inclusive cross sections, like for the Drell-Yan process, not much is known about…
We use chiral perturbation theory to show that pseudo-Goldstone boson scattering and gluon fusion probe different aspects of electroweak symmetry breaking at hadron colliders. In particular, the physics responsible for unitarizing the…
We introduce collinear drop jet substructure observables, which are unaffected by contributions from collinear radiation, and systematically probe soft radiation within jets. These observables can be designed to be either sensitive or…
Hadron colliders have played, and will continue to play, a crucial role in the understanding of CP violation. Their impact is expected to be especially important in the study of CP asymmetries in rare decays and the $B_s$ meson. The…
Coherence phenomena, the increase with energy of coherence length and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of…
The behaviour of a relativistic scalar particle in a possible scenario that arises from the violation of the Lorentz symmetry is investigated. The background of the Lorentz symmetry violation is defined by a tensor field that governs the…
Factorization of short- and long-distance interactions is severely broken in hard diffractive hadronic collisions. Interaction with the spectator partons leads to an interplay between soft and hard scales, which results in a leading twist…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to the physics of hadronic jets and event shapes at electron-positron colliders. We present some of the main jet definitions and event shape observables studied at lepton colliders and discuss how to…
The decoherence effect due to emission of gravitons is examined. It shows the same qualitative features of the QED effect which has already been investigated, it is obviously much weaker, wholly universal and shows a stronger energy…
The possibility that Pamir data at very high energy cannot be fully explained by standard physics has recently led to the suggestion that the peculiar jet structure observed above ~ 10E16 eV could be due to a suppression of effective space…
We show that for hadronic transverse energy $E_T$ in hadron-hadron collisions, the classic Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) argument for the cancellation of Glauber gluons breaks down at the level of two Glauber gluons exchanged between the…
Connection between an intrinsic breach of symmetry of equilibrium motion and violation of the second law is accentuated. An intrinsic breach only of clockwise - counter-clockwise symmetry of a circular equilibrium motion can be logical…
New physics that exhibits irregular tracks such as kinks, intermittent hits or decay in flight may easily be missed at hadron colliders. We demonstrate this by studying viable models of light, O(10 GeV), colored particles that decay…
A distinct feature of Coulomb gauge QCD is that it can be formulated in terms of physical, transverse gluons and quarks alone. The state-counting is then transparent, and the gauge is suited for studies of the excited spectrum. Leaving…
We study color coherence effects on the medium-induced soft gluon radiation off an asymptotic quark hit by a virtual photon traversing a hot and dense QCD medium. The transverse momentum spectrum of the emitted gluon is computed at 1st…
In this thesis we explore a diverse array of issues that strike at the inherently nonperturbative structure of hadrons at momenta below the QCD confinement scale. In so doing, we mainly seek a better control over the partonic substructure…
