Drell-Yan lepton pairs with finite transverse momentum are produced when the vector boson recoils against (multiple) parton emission(s), and is determined by QCD dynamics. At small transverse momentum, the fixed order predictions break down…

The search for remnants of the QCD chiral critical point is a central objective of current and future high-energy ion collision experiments. Previous studies suggest that a scaling law relating higher-order factorial moments of hadron…
We study transverse-momentum-dependent factorization at twist-3 for Drell-Yan processes. The factorization can be derived straightforwardly at leading order of $\alpha_s$. But at this order we find that light-cone singularities already…

We revisit the process of transversification and agglomeration of particle momenta that are often performed in analyses at hadron colliders, and show that many of the existing mass-measurement variables proposed for hadron colliders are far…
We compute the order alpha_s^2 corrections to the one particle inclusive electroproduction cross section of hadrons with non vanishing transverse momentum. We perform the full calculation analytically, and obtain the expression of the…
We study the LHC phenomenology of a couple of mass-degenerate heavy new gauge bosons with the quantum numbers of the Z and photon. We give a leading-order estimate of the number of events expected in Drell-Yan processes in terms of the…
Single inclusive particle production cross sections in high energy hadron collisions at forward rapidity are an important benchmark process for the CGC picture of small x QCD. Recent calculations of this process have not led to a stable…
In the age of big data and interpretable machine learning, approaches need to work at scale and at the same time allow for a clear mathematical understanding of the method's inner workings. While there exist inherently interpretable…
We consider the singular behaviour of QCD scattering amplitudes in kinematical configurations where two or more momenta of the external partons become collinear. At the tree level, this behaviour is known to be controlled by factorization…

Amplitudes of hard {\it exclusive} processes such as \gamma^*(Q^2) N \to \gamma Y, where Y=N (DVCS) or any other state with a limited mass (M_Y^2 << Q^2), factorize into a hard subprocess amplitude and a target (transition) GPD. The…
Consistent factorization theorems in high-energy scattering near the threshold are presented in the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory. Traditional factorization theorem separates the soft and collinear parts successfully, but…
