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…
I have been asked to discuss the status of QCD. It seems to me that there are three main points to be made about the present status of QCD: $\bullet$ QCD is right, and we can do many beautiful things with it. $\bullet$ There are several…
The dispersive approach to QCD is briefly overviewed and its application to the assessment of hadronic contributions to electroweak observables is discussed.
I start by discussing recent ideas concerning three different heavy quark related observables in finite-temperature QCD. Subsequently selected studies related to light quarks and gluons are reviewed, with a focus on thermodynamic…
I give a survey of recent progress in our understanding of QCD at high density and temperature. I pay particular attention to color superconductivity, applications of lattice gauge theory at nonzero density as well as high temperature,…
A brief overview of the status of color transparency experiments is presented. We report on the first complete calculations of color transparency within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method…
The lattice gauge theory technique for non-perturbative calculations in QCD is reviewed. The extraction of the continuum limit of lattice results is discussed with particular examples appropriate to hadron spectroscopy (the light hadrons…
Some important problems in quantitative QCD will certainly yield to hard work and adequate investment of resources, others appear difficult but may be accessible, and still others will require essentially new ideas. Here I identify several…
A brief ideological and historical review of problems of high energy diffractive scattering is given.
This contribution presents an overview of fundamental QED processes in the presence of an external field produced by an ultra-intense laser. The discussion focusses on the basic intensity effects on vacuum polarisation and the prospects for…
I review recent progress on understanding QCD dynamics involved in exclusive $B$ meson decays. Different frameworks, including light-cone sum rules, QCD factorization, perturbative QCD, soft-collinear effective theory, light-front QCD, are…
An updated formulation of soft diffraction, compatible with $s$ and $t$ channel unitarity, is presented. Its consequent general soft scattering features at high energies are explored. The critical interplay between theory and data analysis…
The most significant experimental results on hadron spectra at large transverse momentum available at the time of Quark Matter 2004 conference are reviewed. Emphasis is put on those measurements that provide insights on the properties of…
Diffractive interactions represent a lively domain of investigations, as confirmed by the progresses reported during the conference. We summarize the diffractive interactions session and put the new experimental data (section 1),…
I review the current status of lattice QCD results. I concentrate on new analytical developments and on numerical results relevant to phenomenology.
We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase diagram and properties of hot and dense matter created…
We describe several problems related to the studies of the effects of radiative QCD corrections in the phenomenological and theoretical considerations thus summarizing the work of the QCD part of the Symposium on "Radiative Corrections:…
An overview of recent theoretical progress on Non-Relativistic QCD and related effective theories is provided.
Recent CMS results on diffraction are presented. These include the measurements of the soft diffractive cross sections, of the forward rapidity gap cross section, of the diffractive dijet cross section, the measurement of a large rapidity…
