These lectures describe some of the latest data on particle production in high-energy collisions and compare them with theoretical calculations and models based on QCD. The main topics covered are: fragmentation functions and factorization,…
The inclusive double Pomeron exchange cross section for heavy quark pair production is calculated for nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. The present estimate is based on hard diffractive factorization, corrected by absorptive…
Current status of Top/QCD studies at linear colliders (LC) is briefly viewed, classifying topics into two categories: those within the standard model and those beyond the standard model.
Production of low-$p_T$ (soft) hadronic particles in high energy collisions constitutes a significant corner of special interests and problems, as the perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) does not work in this region. We have probed…
Measurements of the polarization of $\jp$ produced in pion-nucleus collisions are in disagreement with leading twist QCD prediction where $\jp$ is observed to have negligible polarization whereas theory predicts substantial polarization. We…
We review the perturbative approach to multiparticle production in hard collision processes. It is investigated to what extent parton level analytical calculations at low momentum cut-off can reproduce experimental data on the hadronic…
A brief summary of the current status of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to top quark pair production and the associated production of top anti-top with jet(s) in different configurations, i.e. with one jet, two jets and another…
The fully differential computation of the hadronic production cross section of a Higgs boson via bottom quarks is presented at NNLO in QCD. Several differential distributions with their corresponding scale uncertainties are presented for…
Soft QCD is beyond perturbative control, and therefore phenomenological models have to be developed. These are implemented and combined within event generators. Typical aspects considered are multiparton interactions, colour reconnection,…
I give an overview of the current status of the theory of charmonium production in hard-scattering processes and summarize the present state of comparisons between theory and experiment.
In this letter we report on a calculation of W gamma gamma + jet production at next-to-leading order QCD. We include the leptonic decays of the W and take into account all off-shell and finite width effects. This is the first computation…
Soft photons produced in heavy ion collisions are an important tool for probing the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. It is therefore crucial to understand the background - soft photons produced in elementary collisions. Low theorem…
QCD is the accepted (that is, the effective) theory of the strong interaction; studies at colliders are no longer designed to establish this. Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of…
In these lecture notes I describe the theory of QCD and its application, through perturbation theory, at particle colliders.
We present analytic results for the partonic cross sections for the production of a Higgs boson via the fusion of two bottom quarks at N$^3$LO in QCD perturbation theory in the five-flavour scheme. We combine this perturbative result with…
This talk is in two parts both entitled mass production requires precision engineering. The first is about the dynamical generation of mass for matter particles in gauge theories. I will explain how the details of this depend on a precision…
We describe updated calculations of $Q \bar Q$ production in $pp$ and $\pi^- p$ interactions. We compare these results to total cross section data and discuss how the baseline cross sections extrapolate to heavy ion collider energies. We…
The production of invisible particles plays great importance in high energy physics. Large part of interesting electroweak processes include production of neutrinos, while many new physics scenarios predict the existence of similarly…

The analyses of hadron production in the framework of the statistical hadronisation model are reviewed. The analysis of average multiplicities in collisions at relatively low centre-of-mass energy confirms previous findings, namely the…
