We consider the expansion of small-$x$ resummed DGLAP splitting functions at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy to four-loop order, namely next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO). From this, we extract the exact LL and NLL…

We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and down quarks. In order…

Semi-inclusive hadron production processes in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering are important probes of the quark flavour structure of the nucleon and of the fragmentation dynamics of quarks into hadrons. We compute the full…

A survey is given on the new 2- and 3-loop results for the heavy flavor contributions to deep-inelastic scattering in the unpolarized and the polarized case. We also discuss related new mathematical aspects applied in these calculations.
We calculate the massive Wilson coefficients for the heavy flavor contributions to the non-singlet charged current deep-inelastic scattering structure function $xF_3^{W^+}(x,Q^2)+xF_3^{W^-}(x,Q^2)$ in the asymptotic region $Q^2 \gg m^2$ to…
We perform the analytic calculation of the Mellin moments of the structure functions F_2 and F_L in perturbative QCD up to second order corrections and in leading twist approximation. We calculate the 2-loop contributions to the anomalous…
We employ relations between spacelike and timelike deep-inelastic processes in perturbative QCD to calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) contributions to the timelike quark-quark and gluon-gluon splitting functions for the…
We compute the two-loop soft function for the associated production of a top quark and a $W$ boson near the threshold, where the invariant mass of the $tW$ system approaches the collider energy. We employ the reverse unitarity technique and…

We introduce the azimuthal correlation for the deep inelastic scattering process. We present the QCD prediction to the level of next-to-leading log resummation, matching to the fixed order prediction. We also estimate the leading…
There has been recent interest in understanding the all loop structure of the subleading power soft and collinear limits, with the goal of achieving a systematic resummation of subleading power infrared logarithms. Most of this work has…
Perturbative cross-sections in QCD are beset by logarithms of kinematic invariants, whose arguments vanish when heavy particles are produced near threshold. Contributions of this type often need to be summed to all orders in the coupling,…
The existing data obtained in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments in the kinematical region $x_B \approxle 10^{-2}$ and $Q^2 \ge 5 {GeV}^2$ are examined to gain further insight into the dynamics of interacting gluons. It is shown…

We study quantitatively the importance of the recently derived NLO corrections to the DIS structure functions at small x in the dipole formalism. We show that these corrections can be significant and depend on the factorization scheme used…
