This talk serves as an introduction to higher twist effects in nuclei. We want to discuss how perturbative QCD can be applied to processes involving heavy nuclei by taking into account multiple scattering.
Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…
We investigate the convergence properties of a perturbation method proposed some time ago and reveal some of it most interesting features. Anharmonic oscillators in the strong--coupling limit prove to be appropriate illustrative examples…

I discuss methods based on the large Nc expansion to study nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force. I apply these methods to the analysis of weak decay processes and the nonperturbative computation…
Precision measurements at the LHC and future colliders require theory predictions with uncertainties at the percent level for many observables. Theory uncertainties due to the perturbative truncation are particularly relevant and must be…
Non-relativistic bound state theories for QED and QCD have become fairly mature and amenable to a textbook-level understanding and computation. In this talk we give an introductory review of the following subjects related to the recent…

Quantum Chromodynamics is the theory of strong interactions. It has been shown during the last decades that it describes correctly most of the properties of hadrons at high energy. The most distinctive feature of the theory is the…
