Minijets traversing through the QGP formed in heavy-ion collisions deposit significant amount of energy in the bulk medium. They also create gradients in temperatures which alter the flow profile and enhance entropy production. We study the…
The production of gluons in a jet is considered in limited phase space, either with a cut in transverse momentum with respect to the jet axis $k_\perp<k_\perp^{cut}$ or with a cut in absolute momentum $|\vec{k} | <k^{cut}$. It is shown in…
Colliding high energy hadrons either produce new particles or scatter elastically with their quantum numbers conserved and no other particles produced. We consider the latter case here. Although inelastic processes dominate at high…
Dijet production has been studied in neutral current deep inelastic e+p scattering for 470 < Q**2 < 20000 GeV**2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38.4 pb**{-1}. Dijet differential cross sections are presented…
We propose and carry a detailed study of an observable sensitive to different mechanisms of minijet production. The class of observables measures how the transverse momenta of hadrons produced in association with various trigger objects are…
We consider Higgs + 2 jet production via gluon fusion in the limit where either one of the Higgs-jet or the dijet invariant masses become much larger than the typical momentum transfers in the scattering. These limits also occur naturally…
The rate of the emission of the high energy low-mass dileptons from the QGP is found in the first nonvanishing order with respect to strong coupling. We base on the real-time kinetic approach [2] without an explicit assumption about a…
Color singlet two gluon exchange provides a perturbative model for the pomeron. This mechanism is thought to explain the production of rapidity gaps in hard dijet events at the Tevatron. It is shown that in $qQ$ scattering via two gluon…
Deep inelastic electron-proton scattering is analyzed in the target rest frame using a theoretical approach suitable to describe many-body systems of {\em bound} constituents subject to {\em interactions}. At large three-momentum transfer…
We re-examine the predictions of a two-phase model of shadowing in nuclear deep-inelastic scattering in light of new NMC data on the x, A and Q**2 dependence of the ratios of structure functions. The model, which combines vector meson…
Two-jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are calculated in next-to-leading order. The QCD corrections are implemented in a new $ep\rightarrow n$ jets event generator, MEPJET, which allows to analyze arbitrary jet…
A study of central meson production as a function of the difference in transverse momentum (dPT) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed qqbar mesons are suppressed at small dPT whereas the glueball candidates are enhanced. In…
We investigate the proposal of the CDF collaboration that same-side two-jet production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions may be used to determine the gluon distribution at small $x$.
The Q^2 dependence of inclusive electron-proton scattering F_2 structure function data in both the nucleon resonance region and the deep inelastic region, at momentum transfers below 5 (GeV/c)^2, is investigated. Moments of F_2 are…
I discuss the theoretical status of the `soft' pomeron and its place in describing generic diffractive processes. The role of perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections is considered, in particular in the context of quasi-elastic vector meson…
Most of the models of jet quenching generally assumes that a jet always travels in a straight eikonal path, which is indeed true for sufficiently hard jet but may not be a good one for moderate and low momentum jet. In this article an…
A Dyson-Schwinger-based model of pomeron exchange is employed to calculate diffractive rho-, phi- and J/psi-meson electroproduction cross sections. It is shown that the magnitude of the current-quark mass m_f of the quark and antiquark…
Particle production mechanisms in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are reviewed in connection with recent experimental data from RHIC. Implications on mini-jet production, parton saturation and jet quenching are discussed.
A pQCD-based model for parton production and equilibration in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is reviewed. The model combines pQCD processes including initial and final state radiations together with string phenomenology for…
In these lectures, a simple introduction to the phenomenon of diffraction in deep inelastic scattering and its theoretical description is given. While the main focus is on the diffractive structure function F_2^D, some issues in diffractive…
