We present the threshold resummation for the cross section of heavy quark production in polarized deep-inelastic scattering to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and in single-particle inclusive kinematics. We expand our resummed result…
In the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory, we present a gauge invariant definition of the transverse momentum broadening probability of a highly-energetic collinear quark in a medium and consequently of the jet quenching…
Gauging is a ubiquitous tool in many-body physics. It allows one to construct highly entangled topological phases of matter from relatively simple phases and to relate certain characteristics of the two. Here we develop a gauging procedure…
We consider the physics of an extra $U(1)$ gauge boson $Z'$, which can mix with $Z$ through intermediate fermion loops. The loop contribution due to the heavy top quark significantly affects the low-energy observables, and for $m_{Z'}>m_Z$,…

Heavy quarks placed within a hot QCD medium undergo Brownian motion, characterized by specific transport coefficients. Their determination can be simplified by expanding them in $T/M$, where $T$ is the temperature and $M$ is a heavy quark…
There are different operators of quark and gluon momenta, orbital angular momenta, and gluon spin in the nucleon structure study. The precise meaning of these operators are studied based on gauge invariance, Lorentz covariance and canonical…
In preon models based on chiral gauge theories, we show that light composite fermions can ensue as a result of gauging a subset of preons in a vector-like manner. After demonstrating how this mechanism works in a toy example, we construct a…
The construction of heavy quark effective field theory (HqEFT) is extended to arbitrary order in both expansion parameters $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_q$. Matching conditions are discussed for the general case, and it is verified that this approach…
We analyze the correlation function of a meson with one heavy and one light quark in inverse powers of the heavy quark mass $m_Q$ using a succession of Foldy-Wouthuysen-type transformations prior to radiative corrections. We evaluate the…
We describe a strategy for a non-perturbative computation of the b-quark mass to leading order in 1/m in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET). The approach avoids the perturbative subtraction of power law divergencies, and the continuum…
Order $\alpha_s$-corrections to the diffractive structure functions $F_L^D$ and $F_2^D$ at large $Q^2$ and small $x$ are evaluated in the semiclassical approach, where the initial proton is treated as a classical colour field. The…
We present a phenomenological ansatz for coupling a heavy quark with two light quarks to form a heavy baryon. The heavy quark is treated in the heavy mass limit, and the light quark dynamics is approximated by propagating scalar and axial…
The string correction to the inter-quark interaction at large distances is derived using the field theory approach to a heavy-light quark-antiquark system in the modified Fock-Schwinger gauge.
The complete two-loop correction to the quark propagator, consisting of the spider, rainbow, gluon bubble and quark bubble diagrams, is evaluated in the noncovariant light-cone gauge (lcg). (The overlapping self-energy diagram had already…

A fully non-perturbative lattice determination of the up/down and strange quark masses is given for quenched QCD using both, $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions and ordinary Wilson fermions. For the strange quark mass with $O(a)$ improved…
We construct the Isgur-Wise limit of QCD in a form appropriate to lattice gauge theory techniques. The formulation permits a calculation of heavy quark processes even when the momentum transfers are much larger than the inverse lattice…
