Two-jet production in deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering has been studied for $160<Q^2<1280$~GeV$^2$, $0.01<x<0.1$ and $0.04<y<0.95$ with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The kinematic properties of the jets and the jet production rates…
We examine the physics content of fragmentation functions for inclusive hadron production in a quark jet and argue that it can be calculated in low energy effective theories. As an example, we present a calculation of $u$-quark…

We describe new QCD fits to diffractive proton structure functions measured at HERA, and we use these parton densities to predict the shape of the dijet mass fraction at the Tevatron and look for the existence of exclusive events in the…
