Building on earlier work, the dipole subtraction formalism for photonic corrections is extended to various photon--fermion splittings where the resulting collinear singularities lead to corrections that are enhanced by logarithms of small…
We discuss coherent and incoherent $\phi$ meson photoproduction off the deuteron at low energy and small momentum transfer with the aim to check whether the recent experimental data need for their interpretation the inclusion of exotic…
Photon energy moments in B -> X_s+\gamma and the impact of experimental cuts are analyzed, including the biases exponential in the effective hardness missed in the conventional OPE. We incorporate the perturbative corrections fully…
Light weakly interacting particles could be copiously produced in the Sun which, as a well-understood star, could provide severe constraints on such new physics. In this work, we calculate the solar production rates of light gauge bosons…

One of the striking features of particle production at high beam energies is the near equal abundance of matter and antimatter in the central rapidity region. In this paper we study how this symmetry is reached as the beam energy is…
We study the coherent photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons---particularly of neutral pions---placing special emphasis on the various sources that put into question earlier nonrelativistic-impulse-approximation calculations. These include:…
Hard single diffractive processes are studied within the framework of the triple--Pomeron approximation. Using a Pomeron structure function motivated by Regge--theory we obtain parton distribution functions which do not obey momentum sum…
Production of low-$p_T$ (soft) hadronic particles in high energy collisions constitutes a significant corner of special interests and problems, as the perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) does not work in this region. We have probed…
We investigate thermal photon emission rates in hot hadronic matter from a system consisting of pi, rho, and omega mesons. The rates are calculated using both relativistic kinetic theory with Born diagrams as well as thermal field theory at…

The subject of this doctoral study is the pseudoscalar meson photoproduction from nuclei. Two types of processes are investigated in this regard: coherent and quasifree processes. In the case of the coherent process, we study it for the…
In this work we study the diffractive photoproduction of $J/\Psi$ in proton-proton, proton - nucleus and nucleus - nucleus collisions at LHC energies using the color dipole formalism and different models for the forward dipole - target…
Recent realization of Bose-Einstein condensation of light in 2D provides a new platform for studying novel phases and phase transitions. The combination of low effective mass of the confined light and the presence of the dye molecules with…
Understanding the spin dynamics of strong interactions from the nonperturbative to the perturbative regime remains a challenge. Regge pole theory offers a phenomenological framework, but existing models fail to simultaneously describe cross…
We discuss central-exclusive production (CEP) of photons via different fusion processes in the reaction $pp \to pp \gamma$ at high energies, available at RHIC and LHC, within the tensor-pomeron model. We consider two types of processes, the…
Motivated by the tantalizing excesses recently reported in the di-photon invariant mass spectrum at the LHC, we scrutinize some implications of scalar di-photon resonances in high energy proton-proton collisions. In particular, indications…
The description of the production of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in a hadron resonance gas, or statistical-thermal model approach, has proven to be rather successful, despite the fact that the binding energies of these compound objects are…
We study photoproduction during the non-equilibrium stages of the formation of chiral condensates within the ``quench'' scenario of the chiral phase transition. The dynamics is modeled with a gauged linear sigma model. A novel quantum…
Radiative corrections to high energy scattering processes were given previously in terms of universal soft and collinear functions. This paper gives the collinear functions for all standard model particles, the general form of the soft…
