Variational method has been applied to estimate Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effects on virtual photon emission from the quark gluon plasma as a function of photon mass. The variational method was well tested for the LPM effects in real…
The scattering of two off-shell photons is an infrared-safe process in QCD. For photon virtualities in the range of a few GeV, accessible at LEPII, power-behaved contributions to the total cross section may become non-negligible. Based on a…

We consider photonic vortical effect, i.e. the difference of the flows of left- and right-handed photons along the vector of angular velocity in rotating photonic medium. Two alternative frameworks to evaluate the effect are considered,…
The problem of dealing with the resolved photon contribution to $P^2$-integrated $ep$ cross sections is discussed. Suitable approximations have to be found, since no parametrization of the photon structure function in the full range of…
