Scattering off the edge of a composite particle or finite-range interaction can precede that off its center. An effective theory treatment with pointlike particles and contact interactions must find that the scattered experimental wave is…

Using QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates the twist-2 pion distribution amplitude is determined by means of its moments and their confidence intervals, including also radiative corrections. An admissible set of pion distribution…
We describe the present status of the pion distribution amplitude as originated from two sources: (i) a nonperturbative approach, based on QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates, and (ii) a NLO QCD analysis of the CLEO data on…
We calculate the pion-pion elastic scattering phase shifts for pion masses from the chiral limit to values of interest for lattice studies. At low energies, we use the standard Chiral Perturbation Theory expressions to one and two loops. In…

Standard parton distribution function sets do not have rigorously quantified uncertainties. In recent years it has become apparent that these uncertainties play an important role in the interpretation of hadron collider data. In this paper,…
