Deeply inelastic scattering of electrons off nuclei can determine whether parton distributions saturate at HERA energies. If so, this phenomenon will also tell us a great deal about how particles are produced, and whether they equilibrate,…

It is anticipated that a number of techniques to measure the top quark mass at the LHC will yield m_top with uncertainties of about 0.5-1 percent. These uncertainties are mostly theoretical; they are usually estimated using parton shower…
