We study the effects of quantum corrections on transverse momentum broadening of a fast parton passing through dense QCD matter. We show that, at leading logarithmic accuracy the broadening distribution tends at late times or equivalently…
A quantum scalar field theory with spacetime-dependent coupling is studied. Surprisingly, while translation invariance is explicitly broken in the classical theory, momentum conservation is recovered at the quantum level for some specific…
This paper presents a summary of the current status of determinations of the strong coupling constant alpha_s. A detailed description of the definition, scale dependence and inherent theoretical ambiguities is given. The various physical…
In this study, replication of a period-doubling cascade in coupled systems with delay is rigorously proved under certain assumptions, which guarantee the existence of bounded solutions and replication of sensitivity. A novel definition for…
We revive the idea of using physical anomalous dimensions in the QCD scale evolution of deep-inelastic structure functions and their scaling violations and present a detailed phenomenological study of its applicability. Differences with…
Statistical moments of particle multiplicities in heavy-ion collision experiments are an important probe in the exploration of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter and, particularly, in the search for the QCD critical end point.…
Last year I talked at this meeting about a possible time dependence of the QCD coupling constant $\alpha_s$. This year I shall look into the problem once more, without fully repeating the arguments given last year. Astrophysical indications…
Quantum walks, both discrete (coined) and continuous time, form the basis of several quantum algorithms and have been used to model processes such as transport in spin chains and quantum chemistry. The enhanced spreading and mixing…
We consider the singular behaviour of one-loop QCD matrix elements when several external partons become simultaneously parallel. We present a new factorization formula that describes the singular collinear behaviour directly in colour…
In this paper we show that QCD at high energies leads to the multiplicity distribution $\frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_{ \rm in}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{N}\,\Lb \frac{N\,-\,1}{N}\Rb^{n - 1}$, (where $N$ denotes the average number of particles), and to…
Results are presented from calculations carried out in the discrete QCD model, concerning multiplicity distributions in rapidity intervals and fluctuations.
We estimate the splitting between the spatial correlation lengths in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels in QCD at high temperature. The splitting is due to the contribution of the instanton/anti-instanton chains in the thermal ensemble,…
Quantum chromodymamics (QCD) approach to the problem of multiplicity distributions in high energy particle collisions is described. The solutions of QCD equations for generating functions of the multiplicity distributions in gluon and quark…
We present a pedagogical review of the universal scaling properties displayed by the structure function F_2 at small x and large Q^2 as measured at HERA. We first describe the derivation of the double asymptotic scaling of F_2 from the…
We propose an extraction of the running coupling constant of QCD in the infrared region from experimental data on deep inelastic inclusive scattering at Bjorken x -> 1. We first attempt a perturbative fit of the data that extends NLO PQCD…
I consider the singular behaviour of tree-level QCD amplitudes when the momenta of three partons become simultaneously parallel and I discuss the universal factorization formula that controls the singularities of the multiparton matrix…
The QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ is the most important parameter for achieving precise QCD predictions. By using the well measured effective coupling $\alpha^{g_1}_{s}(Q)$ defined from the Bjorken sum rules as a basis, we suggest a novel and…
We argue that the perturbative QCD correlations contribute dominantly to the double parton distributions as compared to the nonperturbative ones in the limit of sufficiently large hard scales and for not parametrically small longitudinal…
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
The very large transverse momenta and large multiplicities available in present LHC experiments on pp collisions allow a much closer look at the corresponding distributions. Some time ago we discussed a possible physical meaning of apparent…
