In this work we investigate the single- and the double- spin asymmetries at the collisions of polarized protons $pp \to (\gamma*, Z^0,Z')+X within the scope of QCD, electroweak interaction and superstring E_6 theory. The helicity amplitude…
We present and use a technique for implementing in a fast way, and without any approximations, higher-order calculations of partonic cross sections into global analyses of parton distribution functions. The approach, which is set up in…
This paper presents an analysis of the $\Lambda^0_b\rightarrow J/\psi\Lambda$ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13…
We present data on strange particle production in elementary proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies. Comparison to leading order and next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations shows that the fragmentation process is flavor dependent and…
We show that, in $\nu_\mu N\to \mu^-\Lambda X$ at the NOMAD energies, it is impossible to separate the products of the fragmentation of the struck quark from those of the nucleon remnant. The latter has a large contribution even in the…
Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have measured the net polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons and attributed it to a coupling between their spin and the vorticity of the fluid created in heavy ion…
Transverse $\Lambda$ polarization observed over four decades ago contradicted expectations from early leading-order perturbative QCD calculations. Measurements of $\Lambda$ polarization from unpolarized $pp$ and $p$A collisions have been…

We propose a two-component model involving the parton fusion mechanism and recombination of a $ud$ valence diquark with a sea $c$-quark of the incident proton to describe $\Lambda_c^+$ inclusive production in $pp$ collisions. We also study…
In order to extract information about behavior of polarized gluons in the nucleon, charmed hadron productions, i.e. D* meson and Lambda_c baryon productions, are studied in polarized pp reactions at BNL-RHIC energy. For these processes, the…
An important observable to understand the properties of the matter produced in heavy-ion collisions is its strangeness content. Recent experimental results show that in semi-central collisions, the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ global…

Global polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at collision energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 4-40 GeV in the midrapidity region and total polarization, i.e. averaged over all rapidities, are studied within the…
The uncertainty in the contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen, $\Delta E^{subt}$ arising from proton polarizability effects in the two-photon exchange diagram at large virtual photon momenta is shown large enough to account for…
We present the Anti-Lambda hyperon global polarization in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 62 GeV and 200 GeV measured with the STAR detector at RHIC. The observed Anti-Lambda hyperon global polarization is consistent with zero, what is in…
The proton polarizability effect in the muonic-hydrogen Lamb shift comes out as a prediction of baryon chiral perturbation theory at leading order and our calculation yields for it: $\Delta E^{(\mathrm{pol})} (2P-2S) = 8^{+3}_{-1}\, \mu$eV.…
