In this paper, we compute the relativistic corrections to the fragmentation functions (FFs) of a heavy quark to $B_c$ and $B_c^*$ within the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization. The non-singlet and singlet DGLAP…
We study in a quark model the contradiction between factorization and duality found in nonleptonic decays at next to leading order in $1/N_c$, concentrating on quark exchange mechanism. The contradiction originates in the fact that the…
We examine the endpoint region of inclusive deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading power (NLP). Using a soft-collinear effective theory approach with no explicit soft or collinear modes, we discuss the factorization of the cross…

Unitarity corrections to the BFKL description of high energy hard scattering are viewed in large $N_c$ QCD in light-cone quantization. In a center of mass frame unitarity corrections to high energy hard scattering are manifestly…
We consider the perturbative description of saturation based on the nonlinear QCD evolution equation of Balitsky and Kovchegov (BK). Although the nonlinear corrections lead to saturation of the scattering amplitude locally in impact…
We investigate the power-suppressed corrections to the fragmentation functions of the current jet in non-singlet deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering. The current jet is defined by selecting final-state particles in the current…
We discuss the possible factorization of the tensor asymmetry $A^T_d$ measured for polarized deuteron targets within a relativistic framework. We define a reduced asymmetry and find that factorization holds only in plane wave impulse…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
We study the non-uniqueness of factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducibles) in noncommutative rings. To do so, we extend concepts from the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations to a noncommutative setting. Several…
We compare results of $k_t$-factorization approach and next-to-leading order collinear-factorization approach for dijet correlations in proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies. We discuss correlations in azimuthal angle as well as…
The influence of coherent optical nonlinearities on polariton propagation effects is studied within a theory-experiment comparison. A novel approach that combines a microscopic treatment of the boundary problem in a sample of finite…
Spectropolarimetry of broad absorption line quasi-stellar objects with the W. M. Keck Telescope is used to put constraints on their nuclear structure. If the continuum polarization is due to electron (or dust) scattering, then the scattered…
In this article we provide a practical prescription to harness the rigorous microscopic, quantum level descriptions of light-matter systems provided by Hopfield diagonalisation for quantum description of nonlinear scattering. A general…
We present an all-order generalized factorization formula for QCD scattering amplitudes in kinematical configurations where two or more momenta of the external partons become collinear. The singular behaviour of the scattering amplitudes in…
Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small $x$ are described by a $k_T$-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the anomalous…
