I discuss how global QCD fits of parton distribution functions can make the somewhat separated fields of high-energy particle physics and lower energy hadronic and nuclear physics interact to the benefit of both. I review specific examples…

We examine the effects of QCD initial-state radiation on a class of quantities, designed to probe the mass scale of new physics at hadron colliders, which involve longitudinal as well as transverse final-state momenta. In particular, we…
I discuss small x physics and its implications at very high energies. At very high energy the density of partons becomes so large that much of the physics can be described using weak coupling methods in QCD. This may allow for a solution to…
A brief summary is given of some recent perturbative QCD results on the evaluation of cross sections and on the the structure of final states in processes with incoming hadrons at small $x$. A new Monte Carlo simulation which includes these…
Current and future experimental studies of the high-energy limit of QCD, dominated by non-linear gluon dynamics in the low-x sector of the hadron wavefunctions, are presented. Results at HERA (proton) and RHIC (nucleus) pointing to the…
The high energy limit of QCD is controlled by the small-$x$ part of a hadron wavefunction. We argue that this part is universal to all hadrons and is composed of a new form of matter: a Colored Glass Condensate. This matter is weakly…
Coherence phenomena, and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of states with $M^2\ll Q^2$ as well as new options…
It is the aim of this talk to review our understanding of the high-energy limit of QCD, focussing, in particular, on recent theoretical developments. After a brief introduction, I will recall why the true high-energy limit of QCD scattering…
The causality and/or the energy-momentum constraints on the amplitudes of high energy processes are generalized to QCD. The constraints imply that the energetic parton may experience at most one inelastic collision only and that the number…
High energy hadron-hadron collisions are discussed. It is argued that soft collisions should involve in an essential way nonperturbative QCD. A way is outlined how to calculate properties of high energy elastic hadron-hadron scattering…
This study presents new insights into gluon transverse momentum distributions through nonextensive statistical mechanics, addressing their implications for QCD phenomenology. The saturation physics and scaling laws present in high energy…

The observation of long-range collective correlations for particles emitted in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions has opened up new opportunities of investigating novel high-density QCD phenomena in small colliding systems. We review…
This talk examines recent progress in collider QCD and some facets of the interplay between these developments and searches for new particles and phenomena at the Tevatron and LHC.
The effective QCD charge extracted from $\tau$ decay is remarkably constant at small momenta, implying the near-conformal behavior of hadronic interactions at small momentum transfer. The correspondence of large-$N_C$ supergravity theory in…
Various exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons are studied, at present, with dedicated experiments at ``B factories''. In order to compete with the experimental accuracy, we need a reliable theoretical framework to compute strong…

We postulate that non-perturbative QCD effects occurring during parton fragmentation can result in collective effects of a multi-parton system, reminiscent of those observed in high-energy hadronic or nuclear interactions with large…
