A QCD analysis of the world data on inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering of leptons on nucleons is presented in leading and next-to-leading order. New parameterizations are derived for the quark and gluon distributions and the…
We propose a factorized approach to QED radiative corrections for inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering to systematically account for QED and QCD radiation contributions to both processes on equal footing. This is achieved…
We study applications of QCD soft-gluon resummations to electroweak annihilation cross sections. We focus on a formalism that allows to resum logarithmic corrections arising near partonic threshold and at small transverse momentum…
The proton form factors at large momentum transfer are dominated by two contributions which are associated with the hard and soft rescattering respectively. Motivated by a very active experimental form factor program at intermediate values…
An algorithm for an improved description of final-state QCD radiation is introduced. It is matched to the first-order matrix elements for gluon emission in a host of decays, for processes within the Standard Model and the Minimal…
We present a simple way of separating the overlap between the soft and collinear factorization formulae of QCD squared matrix elements. We check its validity explicitly for single and double unresolved emissions of tree-level processes. The…
I present generalized formulas for approximate corrections to QCD hard-scattering cross sections through second order in the perturbative expansion. The approximate results are based on recent two-loop calculations for soft and collinear…
We review the theory of hard exclusive reactions in QCD.
This talk is the second part of the summary of the theory section at DIS'97. We demonstrated that theory of the "hard" processes, based on QCD, has achieved a better understanding of available experimental data during the past year. This…
We discuss a dramatic change brought into the pQCD description of hard processes in a nuclear environment by a large thickness of heavy nuclei. It breaks the familiar linear $k_{\perp}$-factorization which must be replaced by a new concept…
This is a brief review of some of the basic concepts of perturbative QCD, including infrared safety and factorization, relating them to more familiar ideas from quantum mechanics and relativity. It is intended to offer perspective on…
Results on soft and hard diffraction are briefly reviewed and placed in a QCD perspective using a parton model approach. Issues addressed include factorization, scaling properties, universality of rapidity gap formation, and unitarity.…
The operator level proof of factorization theorem exhibited in [1] is extended to the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process(SIDIS). Factorization theorem can be proved at operator level if there are not detected soft hadrons.
We develop and prove the theory of the QCD extension of the YFS Monte Carlo approach to higher order QED radiative corrections. As a corollary, a new approach to quantum gravity by one of us (B.F.L.W.) is illustrated. Semi-analytical…
After a brief introduction to the problem of subtraction of infrared divergences for high-order collider observables, we present a preliminary study of strongly-ordered soft and collinear multiple radiation from the point of view of…
Recent work on the theme of power corrections in perturbative QCD is briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on event shapes in e+ e- annihilation. The factorization of soft gluon effects is the main tool: it leads to resummation, and thus…
I discuss how the fundamental theory of strong interactions given by QCD can be exploited to make accurate predictions for the solar fusion processes involving few-nucleon systems and to provide a novel description of nuclear matter as well…
In this PhD thesis, we analyze and generalize the renormalization group approach to the resummation of large logarithms in the perturbative expansion due to soft and collinear multiparton emissions. In particular, we present a…
Heavy nuclei introduce a new scale into the pQCD description of hard processes on nuclei, the saturation scale, and the familiar linear k_\perp-factorization breaks down. It is replaced by a new concept, the nonlinear k_\perp-factorization.…
Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from parton to hadron…
