We define in the framework of light-cone collinear factorization method, the chiral-odd generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of a pseudoscalar hadron (such as the $\pi^0$) up to twist 6. For that, we introduce the relevant matrix…

In the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules, we study the valence quark distribution function $q(x_B)$ of a pion for moderate $x_B$. The sum rule with the leading twist-2 wave function gives $q(x_B)=\varphi_\pi(x_B)$. Twist-4 wave…

We investigate the leading-twist light-cone distribution amplitudes for the pion and kaon, based on the nonlocal chiral quark model from the instanton vacuum. Effects of explicit flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking are taken into account. The…
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…
Exclusive two-pion production near threshold in the collision of a highly virtual photon with a real one offers a new possibility to unravel the partonic content of hadrons. We explain the dynamics of this regime, i.e. the separation of the…
The propagation of a high energy quark disturbs the confining QCD vacuum inducing the currents in Dirac sea. Since quarks possess electric charge, these induced vacuum quark currents act as a source of soft photon radiation. This can lead…
We extend our previous treatment of $\gamma^*p$ cross section based on Gribov's hypothesis to the case of photon-photon scattering. With the aid of two parameters, determined from experimental data, we separate the interactions into two…
We analyse deeply-virtual Compton scattering on a proton target, gamma* P -> P' gamma in the backward region and in the scaling regime. We define the transition distribution amplitudes which describe the proton to photon transition.…
Compton scattering of twisted photons is investigated within a non-relativistic framework using first-order perturbation theory. We formulate the problem in the density matrix theory, which enables one to gain new insights into scattering…
A superconducting qubit in the strong dispersive regime of a circuit quantum electrodynamics system is a powerful probe for microwave photons in a cavity mode. In this regime, a qubit spectrum is split into multiple peaks, with each peak…
The evaluation of a photon-pair source employs characteristic metrics like the photon-pair generation rate, heralding efficiency, and second-order correlation function, all of which are determined by the photon number distribution of the…

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) carry information on the internal structure of hadrons such as the angular momentum of quarks and gluons, or their spacelike distribution. They can be experimentally studied in exclusive experiments…
The worldline formalism has previously been used for deriving compact master formulas for the QED $N$ - photon amplitudes in vacuum, in a constant field and in a plane-wave field. Here we carry this program one step further by deriving…
