We present a factorization formula for the energy-energy correlator in the collinear limit for the case of heavy ion collisions. Employing Soft Collinear Effective Theory, we provide a complete framework for jet production and evolution by…
We study the production and dynamics of heavy quarks in the parton cascade model for relativistic heavy ion collisions. The model is motivated by the QCD parton picture and describes the dynamics of an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision…
We study the production of heavy quarks, charm at BNL-RHIC ($\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV/nucleon) and CERN-LHC ($\sqrt{s}$=5.5 TeV/nucleon) and bottom at CERN-LHC from heavy ions colliding at relativistic energies. We consider initial fusion of…
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, the excited doubly heavy baryons are thoroughly studied via the channel $e^{+} e^{-}\rightarrow \langle QQ^{\prime}\rangle[n] \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{\prime}} +\bar{Q^{\prime}} +\bar{Q}$, which takes…
The production of high transverse momentum piz^0-mesons has been measured in deep-inelastic e-p scattering events at low Bjorken-$x$ taken with the H1 detector at HERA. The production of high p_T particles is strongly correlated to the…
We present a dynamical model of heavy quark evolution in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) based on the Fokker-Planck equation. We then apply this model to the case of central ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions performed at RHIC and…
We discuss recently proposed observables, sensitive to BFKL dynamics, in the context of multijet production at the large hadron collider (LHC). In particular, we consider ratios of azimuthal angle differences in final states with three…
It has recently been noticed that heavy quark ($Q$) and gluon ($g$) fragmentation to heavy quarkonium states ($Q\bar{Q}$) can be calculated in perturbative QCD. This technique allows for the inclusion of a subset of higher order corrections…
I review work on diffractive vector meson production in photon-proton collisions at high energy and large momentum transfer, accompanied by proton dissociation and a large rapidity gap. This process provides a test of the high energy…
In jet quenching, a hard QCD parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction of its energy in the medium, leading to suppressed production of high-$p_T$ hadrons. Assuming that the deposited energy quickly thermalizes,…
We propose a new process which probes the BFKL dynamics in the high energy proton-proton scattering, namely the forward Drell-Yan (DY) production accompanied by a backward jet, separated from the DY lepton pair by a large rapidity interval.…
We study $bt\bar t$ production via subprocesses initiated by $b$-quarks at the Large Hadron Collider. Both QCD and electroweak interactions are included in the elementary scattering amplitudes for $bg\to b t\bar t$. Since the additional jet…
A search is presented for heavy-quark pair production (QQbar) under the decay hypothesis QQbar to WqWq with q = u,d,c,s,b. The search is performed with 1.04 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by…
We consider top quark pair production in association with a hard jet through next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Top quark decays are treated in the narrow width approximation and spin correlations are retained throughout the…
We study the diffractive production of $q\bar{q}g$ jets with large transverse momenta in the region of large diffractive masses (small $\beta$). Cross sections for transverse and longitudinal photons are obtained in the leading log…
We calculate in the BFKL approach the jet vertex relevant for the production of Mueller-Navelet jets in proton-proton collisions. We consider both cases of incoming quark and gluon and show explicitly that all infrared divergences cancel…
We study the dynamics of the quark-hadron transition for a scenario in which the Universe is matter dominated and a large amount of entropy is generated by decaying particles of mass 1--10 TeV, as suggested by a large class of…
There exists a large field for phenomenological models in which the knowledge of the structure of hadrons in terms of QCD constituents obtained from deep inelastic scatterings is related to their behaviour in soft processes. One of the…
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to three jet heavy quark production in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, including quark mass effects, are presented. The extraction of the b-quark mass form LEP data is considered and the first experimental…
Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equations for heavy baryons Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q and Omega_Q (Q=b or c), which were established in previous work, we calculate the heavy quark distribution functions in these baryons. The numerical results…
