We describe a procedure to determine moments of parton distribution functions of any order in lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The procedure is based on the gradient flow for fermion and gauge fields. The flowed matrix elements of…
We discuss non-perturbative QCD corrections to jet distributions in hadron collisions, focussing on hadronisation and underlying event contributions. Using soft gluon resummation and Monte-Carlo modelling we show that hadronisation…
Understanding the detailed structure of energy flow within jets, a field known as jet substructure, plays a central role in searches for new physics, and precision studies of QCD. Many applications of jet substructure require an…
Atmospheric flows exhibit cantorian fractal space-time fluctuations signifying long-range spatiotemporal correlations. A recently developed cell dynamical system model shows that such non-local connections are intrinsic to quantum-like…
We introduce and motivate the method of effective chsrges, and consider how to implement an all-orders resummation of large kinematical logarithms in this formalism. Fits for QCD \Lambda and power corrections are performed for the e+e-…
Power corrections in QCD (both conventional and unconventional ones arising from the ultraviolet region) are discussed within the infrared finite coupling-dispersive approach. It is shown how power corrections in Minkowskian quantities can…
We describe B-hadron production in e+e- annihilation at the Z pole by means of a model including non-perturbative corrections to b-quark fragmentation as originating, via multiple soft emissions, from an effective QCD coupling constant,…
We investigate the properties of quantum electrodynamics (QED) two-particle scattering processes when an arbitrarily sharp filtering of the outgoing particles in momentum space is performed. We find that these processes are described by…
A group theoretical procedure for parametrizing non-forward matrix elements of non-local QCD operators is introduced. The related (two-variable) distribution amplitudes are given as sum over power corrections of the double distributions.…
In this article, we present the properties of the C-parameter which is one of event shape variables. We obtain the coupling constants both in the perturbative and in the non-perturbative part of the QCD theory. To achieve this we fit the…
In this work we develop a Lorentz-covariant version of the previously derived formalism for relating finite-volume matrix elements to $\textbf 2 + \mathcal J \to \textbf 2$ transition amplitudes. We also give various details relevant for…
We propose a new and universal approach to the hadronization problem that incorporates both perturbative QCD and effective field theory in their respective domains of validity and that models the transition between them in analogy to the…
This article reviews the status of event-shape studies in e+e- annihilation and DIS. It includes discussions of perturbative calculations, of various approaches to modelling hadronisation and of comparisons to data.
A model combining perturbative and non-perturbative QCD is developed to compute high-energy reactions of hadrons and photons and to investigate saturation effects that manifest the S-matrix unitarity. Following a functional integral…
We consider the decay of a heavy flavour into an inclusive hadronic state X of invariant mass m_X small with respect to its energy E_X, m_X << E_X. The electron spectrum and the hadronic mass distribution in semileptonic b -> u decays, or…
Using the infinite-volume photon propagator, we developed a method which allows us to calculate electromagnetic corrections to stable hadron masses with only exponentially suppressed finite-volume effects. The key idea is that the infinite…
We present a comprehensive global analysis of Energy-Energy Correlation (EEC) data in electron-positron annihilation into hadrons, spanning a wide range of center-of-mass energies ($7.7\,\,\text{GeV}\!\leq\!\sqrt{s}\!\leq\!…
I give an overview of the present knowledge about nonperturbative functions parametrizing the fragmentation into one or two hadrons of (un)polarized light quarks in vacuum, including information on their transverse momentum dependence.
A selected set of topics along the borderline between perturbative and nonperturbative QCD in exclusive reactions are studied. Specific problems, related to different mechanisms of momentum transfer to an intact hadron, are discussed.…
The Modified Leading Log Approximation of QCD and the local parton hadron duality picture are shown to give a fully satisfactory description of data on charged particle energy spectra in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The analysis of data in terms…
