Applying the technique of partial-wave analysis, there are cases where more than one set of underlying complex-valued amplitudes can describe the measured observables. These ambiguities can sometimes be resolved using additional…
We use the assumption of electric-magnetic duality to express the heavy quark potential in QCD in terms of a Wilson Loop $W_{eff}(\Gamma)$ determined by the dynamics of a dual theory which is weakly coupled at long distances. The classical…
We critically review the QCD predictions for the cross sections sigma_L and sigma_T for diffractive rho meson electroproduction in longitudinally and transversely polarised states in the HERA energy region. We show that both perturbative…
Recent developments in phenomenological analysis of the CLAS data on 2$\pi$ electroproduction are presented. The contributions from isobar channels and $P_{11}(1440)$, $D_{13}(1520)$ electrocouplings at $Q^{2}$ from 0.25 to 0.6 GeV$^2$ were…
We present the leading-color two-loop QCD corrections for Higgs-boson production in association with two jets through gluon fusion in the heavy-top effective theory. We provide analytic expressions for the finite remainders of the helicity…
Double logarithms of $Q^2/m_c^2$ that appear in the cross section for $e^+e^-\to J/\psi + \eta_c$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ account for the bulk of the NLO correction at $B$-factory energies. (Here,…
Local duality estimates for the $\rho$-meson leptonic width and the spectrum of radial excitations are updated. New perturbative corrections are included in the analysis that gives good agreement with experimental data on low energy…
The gluon condensate, $\langle \frac{\alpha_s}{\pi} G^2 \rangle$, i.e. the leading order power correction in the operator product expansion of current correlators in QCD at short distances, is determined from $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data in…
The splitting processes of bremsstrahlung and pair production in a medium are coherent over large distances in the very high energy limit, which leads to a suppression known as the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect. In this paper, we…
While quark-hadron duality is well-established experimentally, the current theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon is quite limited. To expose the essential features of the dynamics behind duality, we use a simple model in…
The inclusive A(e,e') cross section for $x \simeq 1$ was measured on $^2$H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers $Q^2$ from 1-7 (GeV/c)$^2$. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y-scaling to…
The complete set of electroweak O(alpha) corrections to the Drell--Yan-like production of W bosons is calculated and compared to an approximation provided by the leading term of an expansion about the W-resonance pole. All relevant formulae…
The production of W pairs from the one-loop gluon fusion process is studied. Formulas are presented for the helicity amplitudes keeping the top mass finite, but all other quark masses zero. The correlations among the leptons coming from the…
Inclusive electron-proton and electron-deuteron inelastic cross sections have been measured at Jefferson Lab (JLab) in the resonance region, at large Bjorken x, up to 0.92, and four-momentum transfer squared Q2 up to 7.5 GeV2 in the…
The near-side ridge observed in A+A collisions at RHIC has been described as arising from the radial flow of Glasma flux tubes formed at very early times in the collisions. We investigate the viability of this scenario by performing a…
We study fluctuation fields of orthogonal polynomials in the context of particle systems with duality. We thereby obtain a systematic orthogonal decomposition of the fluctuation fields of local functions, where the order of every term can…
We have performed a series of global and single-Q2 fits to the growing database for pion electroproduction. We compare to some other recent fits which have used different formalisms, more selective datasets, and truncated multipole…
We investigate the double logarithmic corrections $\alpha_s\ln^2 x$, x being a parton momentum fraction, in two-body nonleptonic B meson decays in collinear factorization theorem of perturbative QCD (PQCD). It is found that these…
For the case of $n$-jet production at next-to-next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling, in the infrared divergent corners of phase space where particles are collinear or soft, one must evaluate $(n+1)$-parton final-state one-loop…
Pion electroproduction amplitudes predicted by three theoretical models in the $Q^2 \leq 0.5$ (GeV/c)$^2$ region are compared. The objective is to facilitate the analyses of the data from new experiments on investigating the pion cloud…
