The role of gluons in the structure of the nucleon and light nuclei is investigated using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. The first moment of the unpolarised gluon distribution is studied in nuclei up to atomic number…
We show that two dimensional QCD can, to a good approximation, describe the hadronic structure functions measured in Deep Inelastic Scattering. We transform this theory into a new form, Quantum HadronDynamics (QHD), whose semi-classical…

Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken in the Standard Model by the mass and electric charge of the up and down quarks. These effects represent a perturbation of hadronic amplitudes at the percent level. Although these contributions are…
Kaon decays have played a key role in the construction of the Standard Model and continue to be an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory. They can provide new signals of CP-violation phenomena and, perhaps, a window…
Energy-growing electroweak corrections in the Standard Model are potentially relevant for LHC physics, for Next generation of Linear Colliders (NLCs) and for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. I present here the results of recent work in which…
A QCD analysis of the nuclear parton distributions and structure functions in the NLO is performed by using the world data. By having bounded parton distributions for a nuclear with atomic number A, we can obtain the nuclear structure…

Electronic structure methods for accurate calculation of molecular properties have a high cost that grows steeply with the problem size, therefore, it is helpful to have the underlying atomic basis functions that are less in number but of…
Collinear configurations of the helium-like atomic systems, relevant, e.g., for the quasifree mechanism of the double photoionization of helium, are studied, parameterized by the single scalar parameter $-1\leq \lambda\leq1$ ("collinear…
We review the basic aspects of the perturbative QCD based on the operator product expansion to analyze the nucleon structure functions in a pedagogical way. We explain the non-trivial relation between the QCD results and the parton model…
Density-functional theory is used to study the electronic structure of quantum dots in a magnetic field. New series of magic numbers are found for the total angular momentum of electrons. The empirical formula for the plateau width is…
Understanding the origin and dynamics of hadron structure and in turn that of atomic nuclei is a central goal of nuclear physics. This challenge entails the questions of how does the roughly 1 GeV mass-scale that characterizes atomic nuclei…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a firmly established part of the Standard Model, yet its long distance properties remain challenging at a conceptual level. In recent years significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made…
