We present next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative-QCD calculations of the cross sections for $\ell N\to h X$ and $\ell N\to \mathrm{jet}\, X$. The main feature of these processes is that the scattered lepton is not observed, so that the…
We recently proposed a QCD-Pomeron described by the exchange of two non-perturbative gluons characterized by a dynamically generated gluon mass. It is here shown that data on elastic scattering, exclusive $\rho$ production in deep inelastic…
Gluon PDFs, GPDs and TMDs play a significant role in an array of scattering processes, including SIDIS, DVCS, exclusive meson electroproduction and p - p scattering. Spin dependent gluon distributions can lead to distinctive features in the…
We revisit scalar leptoquark pair-production at hadron colliders and significantly improve the level of precision of the cross section calculations. Apart from QCD contributions, we include lepton t-channel exchange diagrams that turn out…
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in high energy nuclear collisions breaks down at transverse momenta $p_T \lesssim Q_s/g$ due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We find…
It has recently been noticed that heavy quark ($Q$) and gluon ($g$) fragmentation to heavy quarkonium states ($Q\bar{Q}$) can be calculated in perturbative QCD. This technique allows for the inclusion of a subset of higher order corrections…
The propagation of colored quarks through strongly interacting systems, and their subsequent evolution into color-singlet hadrons, are phenomena that showcase unique facets of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Medium-stimulated gluon…
We summarize the results of a recent study of heavy quark production and attenuation in cold nuclear matter. In p+p collisions, we investigate the relative contribution of partonic sub-processes to $D$ meson production and $D$…
Heavy quarks are copiously produced in two-photon collisions at $e^+e^-$ colliders. The theoretical predictions including QCD radiative corrections are compared to recent experimental data on $\gamma\gamma$ production of charm quarks at…
We study high mass dilepton production from gluon-induced processes, $g q \to q \gamma^*$, $g \bar q \to \bar q \gamma^*$, and $g g \to q \bar q \gamma^*$, in a thermally equilibrated but chemically under-saturated partonic matter that is…
We propose to measure the gluon distribution function Delta G(eta) at eta < 0.2 via pseudo jet production in polarized fixed target lepton nucleon scattering at typical lepton beam energies of 200 GeV. The measurement of the spin-asymmetry…

We calculate the thermal rate of real-photon production in the quark-gluon plasma at a temperature of $T=254$ MeV using lattice QCD. The calculation is based on the difference between the spatially transverse and longitudinal parts of the…
The uncertainty in the calculation of many important new processes at the Tevatron and LHC is dominated by that concerning the gluon distribution function. We investigate the uncertainty in the gluon distribution of the proton by…
We calculate in the framework of the collinear QCD approach the amplitude for exclusive neutrino-production of a pseudoscalar charmed $D$ meson. This process allows to access gluon and both chiral-odd and chiral-even quark generalized…
