In the limit where partons become collinear to each other, scattering amplitudes factorize into a product of universal, process-independent building blocks and scattering amplitudes involving fewer partons. We compute these universal…

We study a system in which a quark-antiquark antenna emits a hard gluon in a medium, and an extra very soft emission afterwards. Considering the coherence effects in terms of the survival probability, we can describe the interaction of the…
We show that the instanton-induced inelastic processes, leading to multi-gluon production in in high-energy parton-parton scattering, are considerably enhanced over the quasi-elastic ones, by a factor of 100. The basic instanton-induced…
