The anomalous magnetic moments of both positive and negative muons are measured to the precision of 0.7 parts per million. Two values are in good agreement. The standard model calculations of muon g-2 are under further studies, especially…
In this paper we develop an approach to soft scattering processes at high energies,which is based on two mechanisms: Good-Walker mechanism for low mass diffractionand multi-Pomeron interactions for high mass diffraction. The pricipal idea,…
Phenomenological studies of odderon effects are shortly reviewed. Special emphasis is devoted to a recent study of the exclusive production of J/psi or Upsilon in pp and bar p p collisions, where the meson emerges from the pomeron--odderon…
Inclusive jet cross sections for events with a large rapidity gap with respect to the proton direction from the reaction $ep \rightarrow jet \; + \; X$ with quasi-real photons have been measured with the ZEUS detector. The cross sections…
The measured forward slope in elastic and inelastic leptoproduction of vector mesons differ by a substantial amount. In an attempt to describe this phenomenon we construct a two radii model for the target proton, and estimate the effective…
In this brief review, I discuss recent developments in the study of pulsar-powered nebulae ("plerions"). The large volume of data which has been acquired in recent years reveals a diverse range of observational properties, demonstrating how…
We make some educated guesses for the extrapolations of typical soft-inclusive (minimum-bias, pileup, underlying-event) observables to proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies in the range 13 - 100 TeV. The numbers should be…
Experiments involving proton-proton collisions at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have produced a vast amount of high-precision data. Here, in this work, we have chosen to analyse the two…
The strong coupling constants of hadronic multiplets are fundamental parameters which carry information of the strong interactions among participating particles. These parameters can help us construct the hadron-hadron strong potential and…
In this talk I summarize the status of exotic mesons, including both theoretical expectations and experimental candidates. The current experimental candidates are ``spin-parity exotics''; since these are most often considered possible…
Anyons, particles that are neither bosons nor fermions, were predicted in the 1980s, but strong experimental evidence for the existence of the simplest type on anyons has only emerged this year. Further theoretical and experimental advances…
Nonperturbative pomeron exchange at high energy includes minijet production. At moderate $Q^2$ it is responsible for the small-$x$ behaviour of $\nu W_2$. Hence minijet production should be a feature of deep inelastic scattering at small…
The paper presents the QCD description of the small $x$ behaviour of parton distribution functions in the leading twist of Wilson operator product expansion. The smooth transition between the cases of the soft and hard Pomerons is obtained.…
We consider elastic quark-quark scattering at high energy with fixed momentum transfer $t$ and perform factorization of soft-gluon exchanges into a vacuum expectation value of Wilson lines. Taking into account nonperturbative corrections…
We prove new soft pion theorem for the near threshold pion production by a hard electromagnetic probe. This theorem relates various near threshold pion production amplitudes to the nucleon distribution amplitudes. The new soft pion theorem…
The X(3872) seems to be a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are two charm mesons. A novel feature of this molecule is that the mass difference of the constituents is close to the mass of a lighter meson that can be…
Existing data on the (unpolarised) transverse structure function of the proton are analyzed for large values of the Bjorken variable x. The leading-twist and a phenomenological higher-twist contributions are simultaneously determined from a…
We compute two-photon exchange corrections to the electromagnetic form factor of the pion, taking into account the finite size of the pion. Compared to the soft-photon approximation for the infrared divergent contribution which neglects…
The very precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, recently released by the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab, can serve to set stringent constraints on new particles. If the observed 4$\sigma$ discrepancy from the…
Two mechanisms are examined for hard double pomeron exchange dijet production, the factorized model of Ingelman-Schlein and the nonfactorized model of lossless jet production which exhibits the Collins-Frankfurt-Strikman mechanism.…
