Results are presented for the medium-induced, soft coherent radiation spectrum for all $2\to 2$ partonic channels in QCD, at leading-order in $\alpha_s$ but beyond leading logarithmic accuracy. The general formula is valid in the full…
Single-spin asymmetries were long thought to vanish in high-energy scattering processes because of their specific time-reversal behavior. Time-reversal-odd phenomena, however, appear naturally when one includes effects of intrinsic…
Perturbative QCD relates the single transverse-spin asymmetries (SSAs) for hard processes at large transverse-momentum of produced particle to partonic matrix elements that describe interference between scattering from a coherent…

The color dipole formulation provides an intuitive picture of hard processes in high energy scattering. Most importantly, this approach allows one to calculate nuclear effects in a parameter-free way. I review the relation between the…
We consider the region of small transverse momenta in the production of high-mass systems in hadronic collisions. By using the current knowledge on the infrared behaviour of tree-level and one-loop QCD amplitudes at O(alpha_s^2), we…
We study how much gluon shadowing can be perturbatively generated through the modified QCD evolution in heavy nuclei. The evolution of small-$x$ gluons is investigated within the semiclassical approximation. The method of characteristics is…

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…
The Coulomb-hadron interference effects are examined at small and large $t$. The methods for the definition of spin-dependent parts of hadron scattering amplitude are presented. The additional contributions to analyzing power $A_N$ and the…
We present a factorization formula for the production of pairs of heavy coloured particles in hadronic collisions at the production threshold, which forms the basis for the resummation of soft gluons and Coulomb gluons. We construct a basis…
The second and third factorial moments of the multiplicity distributions of gluon and quark jets are calculated up to the next-to-next-to-next-to leading order in perturbative QCD, using the equations for generating functions. The results…
Hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions is well described in the framework of the statistical hadronization model, over a broad range of collision energies. We outline this for hadrons composed of light (u, d, s) and heavy…
The soft physics approach to form factors and Compton scattering at moderately large momentum transfer is reviewed. It will be argued that in that approach the Compton cross section is given by the Klein-Nishina cross section multiplied by…
We formulate a partonic description of hadronic gravitational form factors within QCD, focusing on the three-point function of the energy-momentum tensor and two gluon currents. Despite the lack of exact conformal symmetry in QCD, the…
