Using the theory talks at ISMD2010 as a guidance, I present a personal review of our current understanding of multiparticle interactions in QCD. For more clarity, I separately consider hard, semi-hard, and soft interactions, and I devote…
We review the relevance of neutrino-nucleus interactions at energy transfers below 100 MeV for accelerator-based experiments, experiments at lower energies and for astrophysical neutrinos. The impact of low-energy scattering processes in…

In a finite volume, resonances and multi-hadron states are identified by discrete energy levels. When comparing the results of lattice QCD calculations to scattering experiments, it is important to have a way of associating the energy…
We focus in future proposals to measure coherent neutrino-nuclei scattering and we show that such kind of experiments are very sensitive to nonstandard neutrino interactions with quarks. First in a model independent parametrization and then…
A multiple scattering model of a quantum particle interacting with a random Lorentz gas of fixed point scatterers is established in an Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. At the core of the model, the scattering amplitude for the point…
The case of heavy quark propagation in dense extended matter is studied in the multiple scattering formalism of the higher twist energy loss scheme. We consider the case of deep inelastic scattering off a large nucleus. The hard lepton…

Next generation high-precision neutrino scattering experiments have the goal of measuring the as-of-yet unknown parameters governing neutrino oscillation. This effort is hampered by the use of large nuclear targets: secondary interactions…

Robust model predictive control algorithms are essential for addressing unavoidable errors due to the uncertainty in predicting real-world systems. However, the formulation of such algorithms typically results in a trade-off between…
All contemporary phenomenological models of elastic hadronic scattering have been based on the assumption of validity of optical theorem that was overtaken from optics. It has been stated that it may be proven in particle physics. However,…
Experiments involving copper-copper collisions at the RHIC-BNL (USA) at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 22.5, 62 and 200 GeV have produced a vast amount of high-precision data which are to be analysed in the light of various competing models in…
We introduce a shell-model theory that combines traditional spherical states, which yield a diagonal representation of the usual single-particle interaction, with collective configurations that track deformations, and test the validity of…
We propose a new parton model and demonstrate that the model describes the relevant experimental data at high energies. The model is based on Pomeron calculus in 1+1 space-time dimensions, as suggested in Ref. [18] and on simple assumptions…
Inelastic pp collisions are dominated by soft (low momentum transfer) physics where perturbative QCD cannot be fully applied. A deep understanding of both soft and semi-hard processes is crucial for predictions of minimum bias and…
