A new method is applied to solve the Baxter equation for the one dimensional system of noncompact spins. Dynamics of such an ensemble is equivalent to that of a set of reggeized gluons exchanged in the high energy limit of QCD amplitudes.…
This study presents new insights into gluon transverse momentum distributions through nonextensive statistical mechanics, addressing their implications for QCD phenomenology. The saturation physics and scaling laws present in high energy…
In a previous publication, we have constructed a set of non-linear evolution equations for dipole scattering amplitudes in QCD at high energy, which extends the Balitsky-JIMWLK hierarchy by including the effects of fluctuations in the gluon…
We review recent developments in QCD pertaining to its application to weak decays of heavy hadrons. We concentrate on exclusive rare and nonleptonic B-meson decays, discussing both the theoretical framework and phenomenological issues of…
We propose to look for the Odderon through the production of two pion pairs in photon collisions at high energies. We calculate the corresponding matrix elements in kT-factorization and discuss the possibility to reveal the existence of the…
In diffractive hadronic scattering processes, the Pomeron trajectory, originating from Regge theory, significantly contributes to the behavior of the total and differential cross sections; the same holds for the description of the proton…
An improved generalized suppression factor for gluon emission off a heavy quark is derived within perturbative QCD, which is valid for the full range of rapidity of the radiated gluon and also has no restriction on the scaled mass of the…
An extensive generalization of the ordinary and quasi-eikonal methods is presented for the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ elastic scattering amplitudes, which takes into account in a phenomenological way all intermediate multiparticle states involving…
We study exclusive scattering of `hadrons' at high energy and fixed angle in (nonconformal) noncommutative gauge theories. Via gauge-string duality, we show that the noncommutativity renders the scattering soft, leading to exponential…
It is suggested that proton elastic scattering on atomic electrons allows a precise measurement of the proton charge radius. Very small values of transferred momenta (up to four order of magnitude smaller than the ones presently available)…
We discuss how contributions to the order ${\cal O} (m \alpha^8)$ orthopositronium decay rate can be separated into two categories, one due to relativistic momenta and calculable in terms of QED scattering amplitudes, the other due to low…
Deuteron-proton elastic scattering is studied in the multiple scattering expansion formalism. The four contributions are taken into account: one-nucleon-exchange, single- and double scattering, and $\Delta$-isobar excitation. The presented…
In particle collider experiments, elementary particle interactions with large momentum transfer produce quarks and gluons (known as partons) whose evolution is governed by the strong force, as described by the theory of quantum…
Current and future experimental studies of the high-energy limit of QCD, dominated by non-linear gluon dynamics in the low-x sector of the hadron wavefunctions, are presented. Results at HERA (proton) and RHIC (nucleus) pointing to the…
The proton is a composite object with spin one-half, understood to contain highly relativistic spin one-half quarks exchanging spin-one gluons, each possibly with significant orbital angular momenta. While their fundamental interactions are…
Alternation in various properties of n-alkanes (CnH2n+2) as a function of carbon content (n) is termed odd-even effect. Here, we report a comprehensive molecular dynamics simulation study on n-alkane systems carried out with n ranging…
It is shown that the ratio of the deuteron and proton analysing powers in proton-deuteron elastic scattering at small angles is sensitive to subtle effects in a theoretical description. These include the transverse spin-spin term in the…
We derive the analytic expression of the two one-loop dipole contributions to the elastic 4-gluon amplitude in QCD for arbitrary transverse momentum. The first one corresponds to the double QCD pomeron exchange, the other to an order…
The soft gluon part of a proton wave function is investigated and compared with an onium case. It is argued that at every step of the gluon cascade new color structures appear. Dipole equation kernel emerges when a diquark limit is assumed.
Some of the most difficult theoretical challenges of QCD occur at the interface of the perturbative and nonperturbative regimes. Exclusive and semi-exclusive processes, the diffractive dissociation of hadrons into jets, and hard diffractive…
