We use the Drell-Yan differential distribution dN_{DY}^{AB}/dE_T in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions to obtain a relation between the transverse energy E_T and the impact parameter b. Such a relation is then utilized to study the…
We propose a collinear factorization formula for the associated production of one particle and a Drell-Yan pair in hadronic collisions. It is shown that additional collinear singularities appearing in the next-to-leading order calculations…
We present a comparative study of the invariant mass and rapidity distributions in Drell-Yan lepton pair production, with particular emphasis on the role played by the QCD evolution. We focus our study around the Z resonance ($50 <Q < 200$…
In this work, the P-P(\={P}) Drell-Yan lepton pair production (DY) differential cross sections at hadrons colliders, such as LHC and TEVATRON, are studied in the ${k_{t}}$-factorization framework. In order to take into account the…
In this contribution, we make use of the QCD perturbative fragmentation function formalism to describe the one-particle inclusive fragmentation of a heavy quark produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_S^2)$. We perform the…
In this paper we consider the decay $D^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$, addressing in particular the resonance contributions as well as the relatively large contributions from the weak annihilation diagrams. For the weak annihilation diagrams we…
In this article we study a class of stochastic functional differential equations driven by L\'{e}vy processes (in particular, $\alpha$-stable processes), and obtain the existence and uniqueness of Markov solutions in small time intervals.…
We study the $\sin2\phi$ azimuthal asymmetry in the $\pi N$ Drell-Yan process, when the nucleon is longitudinally polarized. The asymmetry is contributed by the combination of the Boer-Mulders function and the longitudinal transversity…
We calculate the gauge invariant Drell-Yan-like hadron tensors. In connection with new COMPASS results, we propose the single spin asymmetry which probes gluon poles together with chiral-odd and time-odd functions. The relevant pion…
In the kinematical region where the center of mass energy is much larger than all other scales, the Drell-Yan process can be formulated in the target rest frame in terms of the same color dipole cross section as low Bjorken-x deep inelastic…
We present new sets of fragmentation functions for D^{*+-} mesons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are determined by fitting LEP1 data on inclusive D^{*+-} production in e^+e^- annihilation. In one of the sets, we take the…
Using data from a recent reanalysis of neutron structure functions extracted from inclusive proton and deuteron deep-inelastic scattering (DIS), we re-examine the constraints on the shape of the $\bar d-\bar u$ asymmetry in the proton at…
The close similarity between the hierarchies of multiple-point correlation functions for the diffusion-limited coalescence and annihilation processes has caused some recent confusion, raising doubts as to whether such hierarchies uniquely…
In this talk I want to illustrate the many possibilities for studying the structure of hadrons in hard scattering processes by giving a number of examples involving increasing complexity in the demands for particle polarization, particle…
The unpolarized, helicity and transversity distributions of quarks in the proton are calculated in the overlap representation of light-cone wavefunctions truncated to the lowest order Fock-space components with three valence quarks. The…
We present analytic all-order results for the highest three threshold logarithms of the space-like and time-like off-diagonal splitting functions and the corresponding coefficient functions for inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) and…
We suggest the measurement of Drell-Yan (DY) lepton pairs in p-Pb collisions at the LHC (sqrt(s)=5.02 TeV) in order to disentangle the relative contributions of shadowing and coherent energy loss in quarkonium production off nuclei. The…
$1/N^2$ corrections to deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons from glueballs at strong coupling are investigated in the framework of the gauge/gravity duality. The structure functions $F_1$ and $F_2$ (and also $F_L$) are studied…
This paper is the first in a series in which we present the results of an ESO Large Program on the kinematics and internal dynamics of dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs). We investigate the relations between the parameters that quantify the…
When is it possible to interpret a given Markov process as a L\'evy-like process? Since the class of L\'evy processes can be defined by the relation between transition probabilities and convolutions, the answer to this question lies in the…
