I first sketch recent developments concerning the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter as a function of temperature and baryon density, obtained using a model for two-flavor QCD in which the interaction between quarks is modelled on…
QCD is the fundamental theory to describe the strong interaction, where quarks and gluons have the color degrees of freedom. However, a single quark or gluon can not be separated out and all observable particles are color singlet states.…
Hadronic jets are extremely abundant at the LHC, and testing QCD in various corners of phase-space is important to understand backgrounds and some specific signatures of new physics. In this article, various measurements aiming at probing…
We provide a short review of the progress made in the past decade with functional QCD in the description of the phase structure of QCD. We summarise the most important technical aspects of the framework, discuss strategies for truncations…
I review the status of the comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results for bottom production in hadronic collisions, and discuss the possible sources of the discrepancies found. The study of jets containing bottom…
I explore many aspects of jet substructure at the Large Hadron Collider, ranging from theoretical techniques for jet calculations, to phenomenological tools for better searches with jets, to software for implementing and comparing such…
A review is given of attempts to bridge the gap between everyday particle and nuclear physics - involving many quarks - and the basic underlying theory of QCD that can only be evaluated exactly for few quark systems. Even the latter…
I illustrate a general formalism based upon the subtraction method for the calculation of next-to-leading order QCD cross sections for any number of jets in any type of hard collisions. I discuss the implementation of this formalism in a…
How stochastic, microscopic events generate deterministic, macroscopic properties is a fundamental question in physics. We address this question by developing a quantum master equation model for concentrated radical solutions, where random…
Understanding the modification of jets and high-$p_T$ probes in small systems requires the integration of soft and hard physics. We present recent developments in extending the JETSCAPE framework to build an event generator, which includes…
Two-jet event shape distributions, traditionally studied in the language of perturbative QCD, can be described naturally in soft-collinear effective theory. In this language, we demonstrate factorization of event shape distributions into…
In recent years, significant progress was reached in understanding of vacuum and hadronic structure. We review recent works on the {\it point-to-point correlation functions}, comparing those obtained from phenomenology, ``instanton liquid"…
We examine the effects of QCD initial-state radiation on a class of quantities, designed to probe the mass scale of new physics at hadron colliders, which involve longitudinal as well as transverse final-state momenta. In particular, we…
Effective field theories provide a formalism for categorizing low-energy effects of a high-energy fundamental theory in terms of the low-energy degrees of freedom. This process has been well established in mapping the fundamental theory of…
I review a number of topics where conventional wisdom in hadron physics has been challenged. For example, hadrons can be produced at large transverse momentum directly within a hard higher-twist QCD subprocess, rather than from jet…
One of the important perturbative ("hard") probes of hot and dense QCD matter is the medium-induced energy loss of energetic partons, so called "jet quenching", which is predicted to be very different in cold nuclear matter and in QGP, and…
We review theoretical and experimental advances in the application of the perturbative QCD approach to the description of particle distributions in jets in the (semi) soft region with particular emphasis on HERA physics.
Many analyses at the collider utilize the hadronic jets that are the footprints of QCD partons. These are used both to study the QCD processes themselves and increasingly as tools to study other physics, for example top mass reconstruction.…
We construct an effective model for the QCD equation of state, taking into account chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase transition. The correct asymptotic degrees of freedom at the high and low temperature limits…
The perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is quite successful in the description of main features of multiparticle production processes. Ten most appealing characteristics are described in this brief review talk and compared with QCD…
