We hypothesize that the correct power counting for charmonia is in the parameter Lambda_QCD/m_c, but is not based purely on dimensional analysis (as is HQET). This power counting leads to predictions which differ from those resulting from…
In addition to the evaluation of high-order loop contributions, the precision and predictive power of perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions depends on two important issues: (1) how to achieve a reliable, convergent fixed-order series, and (2)…
We investigate the effect of high order radiative corrections in unpolarized electron proton elastic scattering and compare with the calculations at lowest order, which are usually applied to experimental data. We show that higher order…

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is a family of powerful tools for addressing quantum many-body problems. However, its applications are often plagued by the fermionic sign problem. A promising strategy is to simulate an interaction without sign…
Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the first-row atoms Li-Ne and their singly-positively-charged ions are reported. Multi-determinant-Jastrow-backflow trial wave functions are used which recover more than 98% of the correlation energy at…
Compact and accurate wave functions can be constructed by quantum Monte Carlo methods. Typically, these wave functions consist of a sum of a small number of Slater determinants multiplied by a Jastrow factor. In this paper we study the…

Recent results in QCD on multiplicity distributions are briefly reviewed. QCD is able to predict very tiny features of multiplicity distributions which demonstrate that the negative binomial distribution (and, more generally, any infinitely…
