Precision computation of hadronic physics with lattice QCD is becoming feasible. The last decade has seen percent-level calculations of many simple properties of mesons, and the last few years have seen calculations of baryon masses,…
I discuss recent developments in the determination of parton distributions from global fits. I concentrate on the errors associated with these parton distributions and with the physical quantities which are determined in terms of them. I…
Perturbative QCD-based models of parton production and equilibration in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are reviewed with an emphasis on the treatment of quantum interference effects. Uncertainties in the initial parton production…

We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the…
