We review the predictions on angular correlations and their recent experimental tests at LEP and HERA. Power behaviour of correlation functions appear for large angles and reflect the underlying fractal structure in jet evolution.…
Recent results from the HERA ep collider are reviewed in these proceedings. The results are from measurements that probe QCD at high-energy scales, as defined by $Q^2$, the four-momentum-transfer squared of the collisions. These…
Measurements of the branching ratios of top quark decays into leptons and jets using events with $t \overline{t}$ (top antitop) pairs are reported. Events were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at a center-of-mass…
The evolution of the logarithmic scaled energy spectra with energy scale, in the framework of the modified leading logarithmic approximation (MLLA), is investigated. The behaviour of the higher order moments of HERA deep inelastic…
Measurements of HERA that explore the parton dynamics at low Bjorken x are presented together with precise determinations of the strong coupling constant alpha_s. Calculations at next to leading order using the DGLAP evolution fail to…
Recent results on subjet distributions from ZEUS are presented. The measured normalised cross sections were used to study the pattern of parton radiation. The comparison of the measurements with leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo…
The recent results of Forshaw and Sabio Vera on small-$x$ jet rates to order $\alpha_s^3$ are extended to all orders, for any number of jets. A simple generating function is obtained.
Recent determinations of alphas(Mz) from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations using inclusive-jet cross-section measurements in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at high Q2 are presented. A combined value of alphas(mz)=0.1198 +- 0.0019…
Since 1995, LEP has steadily increased the center of mass energy of the colliding beams, from the M_Z resonance to 133, 161 and 172 GeV. New measurements of the strong coupling constant, alpha_s, at these energies have been performed by the…
During the first years of the LHC operation a large amount of jet data was recorded by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. In this review several measurements of jet-related observables are presented, such as multi-jet rates and cross sections,…
The jets are the final state manifestation of the hard parton scattering. Since at LHC energies the production of hard processes in proton-proton collisions will be copious and varied, it is important to develop methods to identify them…
A summary is given of some recent QCD results from LEP. For LEP-2, the topics include event shape measurements, determinations of the strong coupling constant, and measurements of the charged particle multiplicity distribution at the…
We study the effect of optimising the renormalisation and factorisation scales on perturbative calculations of event shape means defined in the Breit frame of ep DIS. Unlike in the case of e^+e^- event shape means, this has only a small…
We present a measurement of the strong coupling alpha_S using data collected with the JADE detector at centre-of-mass energies between 14 and 44 GeV. The three-jet rate as a function of the transition parameter ycut is determined using the…

The Laplace approximation (LA) has been proposed as a method for approximating the marginal likelihood of statistical models with latent variables. However, the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) based on the LA are often…
I review recent QCD results from LEP. The emphasis is on results that represent new studies and on puzzling disagreements of theory and experiment. Further results are nevertheless mentioned by reference. The new studies discussed in more…
We present the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD prediction to the four-jet angular distributions used by experimental collaborations at LEP for measuring the QCD color charge factors. We compare our results to ALEPH data corrected to…
