An elegant and more precise formula for the 3-loop perturbative QCD coupling is discussed. It improves the common expression (e.g., canonized by PDG) in few GeV region. On its base, we propose simple analytic Model for ghost-free QCD…
We present the publicly available program NGluon allowing the numerical evaluation of primitive amplitudes at one-loop order in massless QCD. The program allows the computation of one-loop amplitudes for an arbitrary number of gluons. The…
We discuss the odderon in the QCD and analyze the effects of running coupling introduced in a particular way to preserve the reggeization of the gluon within the leading logarithmic description. This idea is also applied to a family of BKP…
In recent years, the discovery of the odderon, a colorless $C$-odd gluonic compound, has been confirmed in the TOTEM and D0 collaborations. However, the spin quantum number of the odderon remains unidentified. In this work, we aim to…
The interference of Pomeron and Odderon amplitudes gives rise to a charge asymmetry in the diffractive electroproduction of a pi+pi- -pair. We calculate this charge asymmetry in perturbative QCD in the Born approximation and on the leading…
We present results for the six-gluon scattering amplitude at one-loop. Since our method is semi-numerical, it yields the result for arbitrary momenta and helicities of the external gluons. We evaluate the colour-ordered sub-amplitudes with…
The possibility to use the exclusive $pp \to pp \phi$ and $pp \to pp \phi \phi$ reactions in identifying the odderon exchange is discussed. So far there is no unambiguous experimental evidence for the odderon, the charge conjugation $C =…
We estimate the size of the triple Pomeron vertex in perturbative QCD and compare with the phenomenological value extracted from Regge fits to experimental data. For simplicity, the results of the QCD analysis are taken in the large-N_c…
We present the analytic form of the two-loop five-gluon scattering amplitudes in QCD for a complete set of independent helicity configurations of external gluons. These include the first analytic results for five-point two-loop amplitudes…
We propose a new parton model and demonstrate that the model describes the relevant experimental data at high energies. The model is based on Pomeron calculus in 1+1 space-time dimensions, as suggested in Ref. [18] and on simple assumptions…
New representation of the odderon wave function is derived, which is convergent in the whole impact parameter plane and provides the analytic form of the quantization condition for the integral of motion q_3. A new quantum number, triality,…
We calculate Wilson loops of various sizes up to loop order $n=20$ for lattice sizes of $L^4 (L=4, 6, 8, 12)$ using the technique of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory in quenched QCD. This allows to investigate the behaviour of the…
The lowest order pomeron loop is calculated for the leading conformal weight with full dependence of the triple pomeron vertex on intermediate conformal weights. The loop is found to be convergent. Its contribution to the pomeron Green…
The next to leading order (NLO) quarkonium-hadron cross section is calculated in perturbative QCD. The corresponding leading order (LO) result was performed by Peskin more than 20 years ago using the operator product expansion (OPE). In…
We consider the further development of the formalism of the estimates of higher-order perturbative corrections in the Euclidean region, which is based on the application of the scheme-invariant methods, namely the principle of minimal…
The sensitivity of the spin dependence of high energy pp scattering, particularly the asymmetry A_{NN}, to the odderon is demonstrated. Several possible ways of determining the spin dependence of the odderon coupling from small-t data are…
The intercept of the supercritical Pomeron is examined with the use of different forms of the scattering amplitudes of the bare Pomeron. The one-to-one correspondence between the eikonal phase and the ratio of the elastic and total cross…
The C-odd amplitude for the elastic $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ scattering due to the exchange of the QCD odderon proposed by J.Bartels, L.N.Lipatov and G.P. Vacca is calculated with the Fukugita-Kwiecinski proton impact factor. The found amplitude…
In the effective action approach the imaginary part of the triple pomeron amplitude is calculated. The found dependence on the longitudinal momentum transfer $\e$ is found to separate as a simple factor $1/|\e|$. This result is used to…
We compute the one-loop QCD amplitudes for the decay of an off-shell vector boson with vector couplings into a quark-antiquark pair accompanied by two gluons keeping, for the first time, all orders in the number of colours. Together with…
