KNO scaling, i.e. the collapse of multiplicity distributions P_n onto a universal scaling curve manifests when P_n is expressed as the distribution of the standardized multiplicity (n-c)/lambda with c and lambda being location and scale…
The analogy between the intermittency and scaling in statistical physics is extended to the case of more variables. It is shown that the inclusive densities predicted by the perturbative QCD obey generalized homogeneity principle which…
Multiplicity fluctuations are studied both globaly (in terms of high-order moments) and locally (in terms of small phase-space intervals). The ratio of cumulant factorial to factorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity…
Evolution equations for multiplicities in QCD cascades can, both in the parton and dipole picture, be used to estimate corrections beyond the formal accuracy of the modified leading log approximation (MLLA). The differences between the two…

We describe a determination of the strong coupling alpha_s(M_Z) from scaling violations of the nonsinglet DIS structure function, which is based on two novel techniques aimed at controlling and minimizing the theoretical error: a neural…
QCD predictions for moments of parton multiplicity distributions are discussed. The next-to-leading terms and conservation law give rise to the peculiar oscillating shape of some ratio of the moments. The similar shape has been found by…
We reanalyze deep inelastic scattering data of BCDMS Collaboration by including proper cuts of ranges with large systematic errors. We perform also the fits of high statistic deep inelastic scattering data of BCDMS, SLAC, NM and BFP…
We compute analytically the effects of energy conservation on the self-similar structure of parton correlations in QCD jets. The calculations are performed both in the constant and running coupling cases. It is shown that the corrections…
We propose a model for the QCD running coupling constant based on the Analytical Inverse QCD Coupling Constant concept with an additional regularization in the low momentum region. Analyticity in the $q^2$-complex plane, where $q$ is the…
A generalization of the Polyakov-Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling law of the multiplicity distributions P(n,s) is developed. It states that a suitable change in the normalization point of P(n,s) compensated by a rescaling can restore data…
The differences are discussed between various next-to-leading order prescriptions for the QCD evolution of parton densities and structure functions. Their quantitative impact is understood to an accuracy of 0.02\%. The uncertainties due to…
A survey is given on the present status of the nucleon parton distributions and related precision calculations and precision measurements of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$. We also discuss the impact of these quantities on…
The normalised order-q moments of primarily charged-particle multiplicity distributions are studied for KNO scaling investigation in pp collisions as deduced from the results of the ATLAS at the LHC. The normalised moments for the LHC and…
A QCD analysis of the world data on inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering of leptons on nucleons is presented in leading and next-to-leading order. New parameterizations are derived for the quark and gluon distributions and the…
We study one dimensional dipole cascade models in the high-energy limit of QCD. Motivated by data on hadron multiplicities in the LHCb kinematical range, we generalize existing cascade models for splitting and recombination to account also…
By analytically continuing QCD scattering amplitudes through specific complexified momenta, one can study and learn about the nature and the consequences of factorization and unitarity. In some cases, when coupled with the largest time…
The use of MS-like renormalization schemes in QCD requires an implementation of nontrivial matching conditions across thresholds, a fact often overlooked in the literature. We shortly review the use of these matching conditions in QCD and…
In this paper we show that the intuitive guess that the geometric scaling behaviour should be violated in the case of the running QCD coupling, turns out to be correct. The scattering amplitude of the dipole with the size $r$ depends on new…
We present a formalism to evaluate QCD diagrams with a single virtual gluon using a running coupling constant at the vertices. This method, which corresponds to an all-order resummation of certain terms in a perturbative series, provides a…
