Here, we discuss QCD predictions on multiplicities in parton and dipole approaches. The most general treatment is based on the notion of the generating functions. The generating function G is defined as $G(u,y)=\sum_nu^nP_n(y)$, where $P_n$…
We present a simple way of separating the overlap between the soft and collinear factorization formulae of QCD squared matrix elements. We check its validity explicitly for single and double unresolved emissions of tree-level processes. The…
Soft and collinear radiation in collider processes can be described in a universal way, that is independent of the underlying process. Recent years have seen a number of approaches for probing whether radiation beyond the leading soft…
Within the framework of the effective theory for ultrasoft field modes a problem of interacting an energetic color particle with ultrasoft fluctuations in hot gluon plasma is considered. The procedure of calculation of certain effective…

We present an expression for the QCD amplitude for a general hard scattering process with any number of soft gluon emissions, to one-loop accuracy. The amplitude is written in two different but equivalent ways: as a product of operators…
We consider the radiation of a soft gluon ($g$) and a soft quark-antiquark ($q{\bar q}$) pair in QCD hard scattering. In the soft limit the scattering amplitude has a singular behaviour that is factorized and controlled by a soft current,…

We compare the numerical predictions for heavy quark production in high energy hadron collisions in the conventional QCD parton model and the k_T-factorization approach (semihard theory). The total production cross sections, one-particle…

We revisit the impact of the jet algorithm on predictions of energy flow into gaps between hard jets, defined using the kt clustering procedure. The resulting prediction has two distinct components: a primary emission piece that is related…
The solution of QCD equations for generating functions of {\it parton} multiplicity distributions reveals new peculiar features of cumulant moments oscillating as functions of their rank. It happens that experimental data on {\it hadron}…

We present the QCD analysis of the cumulative out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in the process proton-antiproton into Z0 and a hard jet (event plane defined by the proton, antiproton and Z0 momenta). Particular attention is placed on…
We describe a QCD based model which incorporates the main properties of the inclusive particle distributions expected for diffractive processes, including the diffractive dissociation at high energies. We study, in turn, the total cross…
