The Pythia event generator is used in several contexts to study hadron and lepton interactions, notably $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ collisions. In this article we extend the hadronic modelling to encompass the collision of a wide range of hadrons…
The multiple particle final states in modern data from $4 \pi$ detector experiments offer a wealth of information about higher hadronic resonances and hadron interactions. However, it requires careful analysis to extract model independent…

In the study of multiple scattering of partons in hadron-hadron collisions the possibility of a hard inelastic process at the parton level is included in its simplest possible way, $i.e.$ including the $2 \to 3$ transition. The specific…
The transverse momentum distributions of identified hadrons produced in Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are studied in the low and intermediate range for $p_T<5$ GeV/c. All four spectra ($\pi, K, p, \Lambda$) can be well…

We review the phenomenology of electro-weak bosons produced in hadron-hadron collisions. In particular, we discuss the transverse momentum distribution of lepton pairs with invariant mass close to the Z peak. We describe the theoretical…
A brief introduction to the physics of ultraperipheral collisions at collider energies is given. Photon-hadron (proton/ nucleus) and photon-photon interactions can be studied in a hitherto unexplored energy regime.
This work studies the production of direct photons in relativistic nuclear collisions, along with the production of hadrons. Radiation from the very first instants to the final moments of the evolution is included. The hybrid model used…
Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI.…
We introduce a perturbative model that accounts for the contribution of multi-partonic interactions to collider observables. A key feature of this multi-parton model is that cross sections are organised in terms of building blocks that are…

In this review, we first discuss the perspectives concerning a better determination of the proton structure in terms of quarks and gluons at LHC after describing the results coming from HERA and Tevatron. In a second part of the review, we…
