I report on our investigations into the impact of (un)polarized transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs or TMDs) for gluons at hadron colliders, especially at A Fixed Target Experiment at the LHC (AFTER@LHC).…
Single diffractive Drell-Yan reaction in hadron-hadron collisions is considered as an important source of information on the properties of soft QCD interactions. In particular, it provides an access to the dynamics of the QCD factorisation…
We perform a case study of the behavior of gluon radiation beyond the soft approximation, using as an example the Drell-Yan production cross section at NNLO. We draw a careful distinction between the eikonal expansion, which is in powers of…
We formulate a light-front spectator model for the proton incorporating the gluonic degree of freedom. In this model, at high energy scattering of the proton, the active parton is a gluon and the rest is viewed as a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$…
We discuss the Drell-Yan process at a measured transverse-momentum $Q_T$ of the produced lepton pair in collisions of transversely polarized protons and antiprotons, to be observed at the proposed spin experiments at GSI. The large…

The theoretical description of Drell-Yan (DY) transverse momentum spectra over wide kinematic regions in energy, mass and transverse momentum requires not only fixed-order perturbative QCD calculations but also soft-gluon QCD resummations…
We review ideas on the structure of the QCD vacuum which had served as motivation for the discussion of various non-standard QCD effects in high-energy reactions in articles from 1984 to 1995. These effects include, in particular,…
The twist-two chirality violating proton structure function $h_1(x)$ measurable in the polarized Drell-Yan process is calculated by means of QCD sum rules at intermediate $x$, $0.3 < x < 0.7$ and $Q^2 \approx 5-10 GeV^2$.
