A phenomenological QCD quasiparticle model provides a means to map lattice QCD results to regions relevant for a variety of heavy-ion collision experiments at larger baryon density. We report on effects of collectives modes and damping on…
Using the theory talks at ISMD2010 as a guidance, I present a personal review of our current understanding of multiparticle interactions in QCD. For more clarity, I separately consider hard, semi-hard, and soft interactions, and I devote…
Soft quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements play an important role in fundamental QCD studies as well as in tuning of corresponding Monte Carlo generator models for a good description of experimental data. Recent results of soft QCD…

We present results from a transverse lattice study of low lying mesons. Special emphasis is put on the issue of Lorentz invariant energy-momentum dispersion relations for these mesons. The light-cone wave function for the $\pi$ obtained in…

Infrared and collinear events shapes are suited to directly probe properties of hard QCD. They are traditionally used to measure the strong coupling and to test the gauge structure of QCD. Perturbative predictions exist in several…
