We develop a "hybrid" model of the proton inelastic structure functions applicable in a wide region of invariant mass of produced states $W$ and invariant momentum transfer $Q$ including deep inelastic scattering (DIS), nucleon resonance…
In this work, coherence effects in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and in the Drell-Yan (DY) process off nuclei are investigated, in particular nuclear shadowing. The target rest frame and the color dipole formulation are employed. Multiple…
Production of heavy photons (Drell-Yan), gauge bosons, Higgs bosons, heavy flavors, which is treated within the QCD parton model as a result of hard parton-parton collision, can be considered as a bremsstrahlung process in the target rest…
We consider a gedanken experiment of the scattering of a current off a large nucleus to study the gluon saturation at the small-x limit and compute the Sudakov factor of this process through a one-loop calculation. The differential cross…
We discuss unpolarized neutrino- and anti-neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) using a chiral doublet of baryonic sources with explicit symmetry breaking, in a slice of AdS$_5$ with both a hard and soft wall. We explicitly…

We show that particle production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions in the Color Glass Condensate model can be related to Deep Inelastic Scattering of leptons on protons/nuclei (DIS). The common building block is the quark antiquark (or…
We propose a novel formalism for simultaneously describing both, the hard and soft parton dynamics in ultrarelativistic collisions of nuclei. The emission of gluons from the initially coherent parton configurations of the colliding nuclei…
The basic ideas and some results of the semiclassical approach to diffractive DIS are briefly described. In the production of high-$p_{\perp}$ jets boson-gluon fusion is predicted to be the dominant partonic process. The…
We investigate the close connection between the quantum phase space Wigner distribution of small-$x$ gluons and the color dipole scattering amplitude, and propose to study it experimentally in the hard diffractive dijet production at the…
Double parton distribution functions (dPDFs) represent a tool to explore the 3D partonic structure of the proton. They can be measured in high energy proton-proton and proton nucleus collisions and encode information on how partons inside a…
We study exclusive vector meson production in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of a wide range of nuclei, and assess the potential of measurements to constrain the small-$x$ structure of oxygen and neon nuclei. We employ an…
Using the leading twist approach (LTA) to nuclear shadowing (NS), we calculate the ratio of the diffractive-to-total DIS cross sections $R_{\rm diff/tot}$ for a heavy nucleus and proton and confirm that $R_{\rm diff/tot} \approx 0.5-1$ in…
Saturation is expected to occur when a high density of partons (mainly gluons)- or equivalently strong fields in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) - is realized in the weak coupling regime. A way to reach saturation is through the high-energy…
We review applicability of QCD factorization theorem to multiple scattering in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering. We show why A^{1/3}-type nuclear enhancement can be calculated consistently in perturbative QCD. We derive the…
Parton distributions can be defined in terms of the entropy of entanglement between the spatial region probed by deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and the rest of the proton. For very small $x$, the proton becomes a maximally entangled state.…

I present the state of our understanding of the QCD dynamics at play in the parton saturation regime of nuclear wave functions. I explain what are the biggest open questions in the field, their intrinsic interest, but also why is it…
We present and discuss the theory and phenomenology of the leading twist theory of nuclear shadowing which is based on the combination of the generalization of the Gribov-Glauber theory, QCD factorization theorems, and the HERA QCD analysis…
