The perturbative instability of NLO collinear factorisation (CF) computations of $p_T$-integrated cross sections of heavy quarkonium production at high hadronic or photon-hadron collision energy is discussed. We resolve this problem via the…
We estimate the magnitude of the leading non-perturbative QCD corrections to the decays of the Higgs boson to the $\gamma Z$ and $\gamma \gamma$ final states. These corrections originate from the light-quark contributions to such decays. We…

The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…
The exclusive processes are considered, where a point-like source of heavy quark-antiquark pairs $Q \bar Q$, e.g. their electromagnetic current, produces a pair consisting of a heavy quarkoniumlike exotic meson (tetraquark) or baryon…
The experimental status of stable bound states made out of heavy quarks is reviewed. The need for a way to deal with the non-perturbative transitions involved calls for precision measurements on one hand, and for discovery of as yet…
We pursue the program of the study of the non-forward amplitude in HQET. We obtain new sum rules involving the elastic subleading form factors $\chi_i(w)$ $(i = 1,2, 3)$ at order $1/m_Q$ that originate from the ${\cal L}_{kin}$ and ${\cal…
We study the fermion action needed to accurately describe the low energy physics of systems including heavy quarks in lattice QCD even when the heavy fermion mass $m$ is on the order of, or larger than, the inverse lattice spacing: $m \ge…
We study the heavy-heavy-light quark ($QQq$) potential in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD, and discuss one of the roles of the finite-mass valence quark in the inter-quark potential. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the standard gauge…
Non-perturbative scale-dependent renormalization problems are ubiquitous in lattice QCD as they enter many relevant phenomenological applications. They require solving non-perturbatively the renormalization group equations for the QCD…
Heavy-light decays such as $B \to \pi \ell \nu$, $B \to K^{*} \gamma$ and $B \to K^{(*)} \ell \ell$ can be used to constrain the parameters of the Standard Model and in indirect searches for new physics. While the precision of experimental…

In these proceedings, we investigate non-perturbative models for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) motivated by the behavior of the Landau-gauge lattice gluon propagator with the purpose of testing their validity in the perturbative regime of…
We investigate transition form factors between non-relativistic QCD bound states at large recoil energy. Assuming the decaying quark to be much heavier than its decay product, the relativistic dynamics can be treated according to the…
As it was suggested by previous works on a modified perturbation expansion for QCD, the possibility for the generation of large quark condensates in the mass-less version of the theory is explored. For this purpose, it is firstly presented…
We propose a QCD-based model for calculation of the non-perturbative corrections to the factorization approximation in the decays of heavy mesons. In the framework of the model, factorization in pseudoscalar transitions holds exactly at the…

We calculate the leading and next-to-leading corrections to the real-time QCD static potential in a high temperature medium in the region where bound states transit from narrow resonances to wide ones. We find sizable contributions to both…
We extend the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) prediction for the production of heavy quarkonium with low transverse momentum in hadronic collisions by taking into account effects from all order soft gluon resummation. Following the…
