The structure of hadronic jets depends not only on the dynamics of QCD but also on the details of the jet finding algorithm and the physical process in which the jet is produced. To study these effects in more detail we calculate the jet…
We propose a possible perturbative QCD solution to the heavy quark tomography problem posed by recent non-photonic single electron data from central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ AGeV. Jet quenching theory is extended to include (1)…
Using a recently-developed perturbative-QCD approach for jet evolution in a dense quark-gluon plasma, we study the nuclear modification factor for the jet fragmentation function. The qualitative behaviour that we find is in agreement with…
We present theoretical predictions for five jet production in proton-proton collisions at next-to-leading order accuracy in QCD. Inclusive as well as differential observables are studied for collision energies of 7 and 8 TeV. In general the…
Collisional broadening in QCD plasmas leads to the emission of medium induced radiation, which governs the energy loss of highly energetic particles or jets. While recent studies have obtained non-perturbative contributions to the…
Recently, the moments of multiplicity distributions in e+e- annihilation and the ratios H_q (cumulant over factorial moments K_q/F_q) have been determined both for the hadronic final state and for jets at variable resolution. These ratios…
Experimental tests of QCD predictions for event shape distributions combining contributions from hard and soft processes are discussed. The hard processes are predicted by perturbative QCD calculations. The soft processes cannot be…
Benefiting from the high statistics from $e^+e^-$ experiments at the $Z^0$ resonance, it is possible to impose strong two-jet cuts on the data without losing the statistical significance. In these events perturbative activity is suppressed…
The study of the structure of strongly interacting dense matter via hard jets is reviewed. High momentum partons produced in hard collisions produce a shower of gluons prior to undergoing the non-perturbative process of hadronization. In…
One- and two-jet inclusive quantities in hadron collisions have already been calculated to next-to-leading order accuracy, using both the subtraction and the cone method. Since the one-loop corrections have recently been obtained for all…
This article gives the perturbative NNLO results for the moments of the most commonly used event shape variables associated to three-jet events in electron-positron annihilation: Thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening, total jet…
We compute the distributions of charged particles at large transverse momenta in $p\bar p(p)$, $pA$ and $AA$ collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD, by using collinear factorization and the modern PDFs and fragmentation functions.…
The perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) has been extremely successful in the prediction and description of main properties of quark and gluon jets. There are, however, some problems of the jet calculus with the higher order…
Based on the factorization in perturbative QCD, a jet cross sections in heavy-ion collisions can be expressed as a convolution of the jet cross section in $p+p$ collisions and a jet energy loss distribution. Using this simple expression and…
Perturbative QCD predicts and describes various features of multihadron production. An amazing similarity between observable hadron systems and calculable underlying parton ensembles justifies the attempts to use the language of quarks and…
Modifications of jets in the existence of a hot and dense QCD medium have recently attracted a lot of attentions. In this talk, we demonstrate how jet-medium interactions change the behavior of jets by offering examples of inclusive jet and…
In the events of the type $e^+e^- \rightarrow W^+W^- \rightarrow$ 4 jets, $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t} \rightarrow bW^+\bar{b}W^-$, particle production could depend in a non-trivial way on the kinematics of the process. It is shown that QCD…
Recent work on the theme of power corrections in perturbative QCD is briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on event shapes in e+ e- annihilation. The factorization of soft gluon effects is the main tool: it leads to resummation, and thus…
We propose that the different angular distributions in two-photon collisions observed at low and high center-of-mass energies $W_{\gamma\gamma}$ indicate the transition from nonperturbative to perturbative QCD. We calculate the differential…
These lectures introduce some of the basic methods of perturbative QCD and their applications to phenomenology at high energy. Emphasis is given to techniques that are used to study QCD and related field theories to all orders in…
