The PANDA experiment at the new FAIR facility will be the major hadron physics experiment at the end of this decade. It has an ambitious far-reaching physics program that spans the most fascinating topics that are emerging in contemporary…
Jet cross sections can be in principle compared to simple pQCD calculations, based on the hypothesis of factorization. But often it is useful or even necessary to not only compute the production rate of the very high pt jets, but in…
Recent developments of the two MC-generators SPHINX and PEPSI are discussed. In SPHINX the process of polarized photo production was included to simulate the potential of a polarized HERA to measure the photon structure function. In PEPSI…
We present an updated set of parameters for the PYTHIA 8 event generator. We reevaluate the constraints imposed by LEP and SLD on hadronization, in particular with regard to heavy-quark fragmentation and strangeness production. For hadron…
The observation of heavy-ion-like behaviour in pp collisions at the LHC suggests that more physics mechanisms are at play than traditionally assumed. The introduction e.g. of quark-gluon plasma or colour rope formation can describe several…

The pp collisions have been studied for a long time, however, there are still some effects which are not completely understood, such as the long range angular correlations and the flow patterns in high multiplicity events, which were…
Recently, with the upgradation of LHC, it is realized that study of heavy-flavored hadrons, namely $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ and $\rm{D}^{0}$ in hadronic collisions, could reveal the possibility of thermalization of charm quarks. With this…
With the broadening landscape of proposals for future Higgs, top and electroweak physics factories, detector diversity as well as the reach and depth of physics analysis increase. One emerging topic of renewed interest is particle…
