We bring evidence that the recently discovered property of natural stability of the high-energy resummation is directly connected to the fragmentation mechanism of heavy hadrons. As a phenomenological support, we provide predictions for…
We discuss the high energy asymptotics in the next-to-leading (NLO) BFKL equation. We find a general solution for Green functions and consider two properties of the NLO BFKL kernel: running QCD coupling and large NLO corrections to the…
We discuss the exclusive photoproduction of a heavy vector quarkonium, namely $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ at 1-loop in $\alpha_s$. In collinear factorisation (CF), the amplitude for such a process is obtained by the convolution of a hard…
We calculate the leading power corrections to the decay rates, distributions and hadronic spectral moments in rare inclusive \bxsll decays in the standard model, using heavy quark expansion (HQE) in $(1/m_b)$ and a phenomenological model…
A fundamental goal in QCD is to understand the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark,…
The eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Fokker-Planck operator with linear drift and constant diffusion are required for expanding time-dependent solutions and for evaluating our recent perturbation expansion for probability densities…
In this paper, we evaluate the electromagnetic and gravitational form factors as well as the corresponding generalized parton distributions of the electron using the Basis Light-front Quantization approach to QED. We compare our results…
We calculate the form factors for the baryon number violation processes of a heavy-flavor baryon decaying into a pseudoscalar meson and a lepton. In the framework of the Standard Model effective field theory, the leptoquark operators at the…
We study the transverse-momentum spectrum of quarkonium production from single light-parton fragmentation mechanism. In the case of semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, we observe that there are two possible initiating processes,…
We present the first complete $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ and $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ perturbative QCD corrections to all five heavy-to-light structure functions underlying the triple-differential semi-leptonic decay rates of heavy quarks.…
We estimate the sizeable cross section for deep exclusive electroproduction of an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ hybrid meson in the Bjorken regime. The production amplitude scales like the one for usual meson electroproduction, {\it i.e.} as…
Motivated by the study of heavy-light meson production within the framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET) factorization, we extend the factorization formalism for a rather complicated process $W^+\to B^+\ell^+\ell^-$ in the limit…

We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes for most nonleptonic, two-body B decays can be calculated…
We derive a factorization theorem for the structure-dependent QED effects in the weak exclusive process $B^-\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, i.e., effects probing the internal structure of the $B$ meson. The derivation requires a careful treatment…
