We consider the ratios of doubly heavy baryon masses using Double Ratios of Sum Rules (DRSR), which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios used for getting hadron masses. Our results are comparable with the ones from potential…
Processes of heavy quark production at HERA, TEVATRON and THERA energies are considered using the semihard ($k_T$ factorization) QCD approach with emphasis on the BFKL dynamics of gluon distributions.
Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
Distribution functions in hard processes can be described by quark-quark correlators, nonlocal matrix elements of quark fields. Color gauge invariance requires inclusion of appropriate gauge links in these correlators. For transverse…

Charm asymmetries in fixed-target hadroproduction experiments are sensitive to power corrections to the QCD factorization theorem for heavy quark production. A power correction called heavy-quark recombination has recently been proposed to…
We present a summary update of the QCD spectral sum rule (QSSR) results for the running and {\it perturbative pole} quark masses, the $f_D$ and $f_B$ leptonic decay constants, the heavy-to-light and heavy-to-heavy exclusive transition-form…
We show how heavy quark symmetry constraints on doubly heavy baryon semileptonic decay widths can be used to test the validity of different quark model calculations. The large discrepancies in the results observed between different quark…

We present the CTEQ6HQ parton distribution set which is determined in the general variable flavor number scheme which incorporates heavy flavor mass effects; hence, this set provides advantages for precision observables which are sensitive…
In earlier publications we have analyzed the strong and radiative decays of heavy hadrons in a formalism which incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. In particular, we have derived a heavy-hadron chiral Lagrangian whose…
We present results on the spin carried by quarks and gluons in the nucleon using lattice QCD simulations with physical values of the light, strange and charm quark masses. We also discuss selective results on the x-dependence of parton…
Nuclear structure functions and cross-sections for heavy flavour production in lepton-nucleus collisions are investigated in the low $x$ region accessible now or in the near future. The scattering on a heavy nucleus is described by the sum…
When the energy of the heavy quark is comparable with its mass, it is natural to attribute this heavy quark to the hard part of the reaction. At large energies, this approach is impractical due to large logarithms from intensive QCD…
In the quantum statistical parton distributions approach proposed more than one decade ago to describe the parton structure, new properties are now understood, in particular, the relation between quarks and antiquarks which leads to very…

A leading-power factorization formula for weight functions relating the B to Xs gamma photon spectrum to arbitrary partial decay rates in B to Xu l nu is derived. These weight functions are independent of the hadronic shape function and…
We derive QCD light-cone sum rules for the hadronic matrix elements of the heavy baryon transitions to nucleon. In the correlation functions the $\Lambda_c,\Sigma_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ -baryons are interpolated by three-quark currents and the…
Rather than regarding the restriction of current lattice QCD simulations to quark masses that are 5--10 times larger than those observed, we note that this presents a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of QCD. Just as it has…
We study the semileptonic decays of heavy mesons into light pseudoscalars by making use of dispersion relations. Constraints from heavy quark symmetry, chiral symmetry and perturbative QCD are implemented into a dispersive model for the…
