Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for 1-jet and 2-jet cross sections in polarized deep inelastic scattering at HERA energies are presented. Whereas the QCD corrections to the total polarized cross section are very large, only moderate…
We present a theroretical treatment of electric dipole (E1) transitions of heavy quarkonia based on effective field theories. Within the framework of potential nonrelativistic QCD (pNRQCD) we derive the complete set of relativistic…
The 1/m corrections to heavy baryon masses are calculated from the QCD sum rules within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. Numerical results for the heavy baryons are obtained. The implications of the results are discussed.
The QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics provides an attractive theoretical approach to the study of the QCD (resummed) perturbative expansion of small-x physics and more generally to hard high-energy processes. We discuss applications to…
A great interest for diffraction has been generated these last years by the HERA data. They give us the first opportunity to understand high energy diffractive physics in terms of a fundamental theory, i.e. QCD. A review of the main results…
We study power corrections to the differential thrust, heavy jet mass and C-parameter distributions in the two-jet kinematical region in e^+e^- annihilation. We argue that away from the end-point region, e>> \Lambda_{QCD}/Q, the leading…
Hadronization corrections to the predictions of perturbative QCD are reviewed. The existing models for the conversion of quarks and gluons into hadrons are summarized. The most successful models give a good description of the data on…
On the basis of a recently introduced generalization of the negative binomial distribution the influence of higher-order perturbative QCD effects on multiplicity fluctuations are studied for deep inelastic e^+p scattering at HERA energies.…
We make an estimate of the quadratic correction based on gauge/string duality. Like in QCD, it proves to be negative and proportional to the string tension.
We present compact expressions for the power corrections to the hard thermal loop (HTL) Lagrangian of QED in $d$ space dimensions. These are corrections of order $(L/T)^2$, valid for momenta $L \ll T$, where $T$ is the temperature. In the…
We prove that regulating infrared divergencies generates power (~1/(Q^2)^k) corrections to the spin structure function g_1 at small x and large Q^2. At the same time it leads to the corrections ~(Q^2)^k at small Q^2. We present the explicit…
We improve previously derived analytical estimates of hadronisation corrections to QCD jets at hadron colliders, firmly establishing at the two-loop level the link to the well-known power corrections to LEP event-shape variables. The…
The one-loop QCD heavy quark potential is computed to order v^2 in the color singlet and octet channels. Several errors in the previous literature are corrected. To be consistent with the velocity power counting, the full dependence on |p'…
Inclusive event shape variables have been measured in the Breit Frame for neutral current deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering using the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The variables thrust, jet broadening, C-parameter, jet mass and two…
I shortly review the present status of the theoretical calculations of eps'/eps and the comparison with the present experimental results. I discuss the role of higher order chiral corrections and in general of non-factorizable contributions…
We introduce an operator depending on the "transverse velocity" r that describes the effect of hadron masses on the leading 1/Q power correction to event-shape observables. Here, Q is the scale of the hard collision. This work builds on…
We review the predictions on angular correlations and their recent experimental tests at LEP and HERA. Power behaviour of correlation functions appear for large angles and reflect the underlying fractal structure in jet evolution.…

At leading power accuracy the QCD light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) for a heavy meson can be matched onto the LCDAs in the framework of heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) through a factorization formula. We examine the power…
Higher twist corrections refer to a certain class of contributions to hard processes in strong interactions that are suppressed by a power of the hard scale. This is a very broad field of research which is becoming more and more important…
