This writeup summarizes the main experimental studies of the strong interaction, theoretically described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), that were presented during the ICHEP-2020 conference. The latest results, measured mostly in p-p…
Some issues in inclusive and exclusive diffractive processes are discussed.
It is unusual to find QCD factorization explained in the language of quantum information science. However, we will discuss how the issue of factorization and its breaking in high-energy QCD processes relates to phenomena like decoherence…
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…

I show that factorization for hard processes in QCD is also valid when the detected particles are polarized, and that the proof of the theorem determines the operator form for the parton densities. Particular attention is given to the case…
I discuss recent progress in understanding the high-energy evolution in QCD, which points towards a remarkable correspondence with the reaction-diffusion problem of statistical physics.
