One of the most important phase transition in physics is the Deconfinement Phase Transition in thermal Quantum ChromoDynamics. Due to the confinement property, we study the effect of colorlessness condition during the Deconfinement Phase…
The ultra-relativistic heavy-ion program at RHIC has shown that at intermediate transverse momenta ($p_T \simeq 2$-6 GeV) standard (independent) parton fragmentation can neither describe the observed baryon-to-meson ratios nor the empirical…
Tau decays into hadrons have a twofold interest: On the one hand, they are a clean environment for studying the hadronization of the left-handed current of QCD, while, on the other side, provide relevant dynamical information of the…
We analyze hadrochemical freeze-out in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and LHC energies. We determine the effects of baryon and antibaryon annihilation and/or regeneration occurring during the final cascade expansion stage of the…
One of the confident predictions of QCD is that at sufficiently high temperature and/or density, hadronic matter should undergo a thermodynamic phase transition to a colour deconfined state of matter - popularly called the Quark-Gluon…
Hard scattering to a three cluster final state is suggested as a method to probe configurations in hadrons containing small size color singlet cluster and a residual quark-gluon system of a finite mass. Examples of such processes include $e…
Hybrid quarkonia -exotic hadrons with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom- have gained increasing attention in hadron spectroscopy, particularly with the ongoing discovery of new XYZ mesons. In this work, we update the spectrum of heavy…
We review recent progress in the study of parton propagation, interaction and fragmentation in both cold and hot strongly interacting matter. Experimental highlights on high-energy hadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus…
Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. The full next-to-leading order QED corrections for the…
The Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach consistently simulates the full evolution of a relativistic heavy-ion collision from the initial hard scatterings string formation through the dynamical deconfinement phase…
This work presents an effective model for strongly interacting matter and the QCD equation of state (EoS). The model includes both hadron and quark degrees of freedom and takes into account the transition of chiral symmetry restoration as…
We present new sets of pion and kaon fragmentation functions obtained in NLO combined analyses of single-inclusive hadron production in electron-positron annihilation, proton-proton collisions, and deep-inelastic lepton-proton scattering…
The deconfinement phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter in the interior of compact stars is investigated. The hadronic phase is described in the framework of relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory, when also the scalar-…
Quark-hadron duality is an interesting and potentially very useful phenomenon, as it relates the properly averaged hadronic data to a perturbative QCD result in some kinematic regions. While duality is well established experimentally, our…
Fitting $Z^0$-pole data from ALEPH and SLD, and TPC data at a lower c.m.s.\ energy, we fix the boundary condition for NLO parton$\to$hadron (hadron$=\pi^\pm, K^\pm, \sum_h h^\pm$) fragmentation functions (FFs) at the low resolution scale of…
The two-Equation of State (Two-EoS) model is used to describe the hadron-quark phase transition in dense-hot matter formed in heavy-ion collisions. The non-linear Walecka model is used to describe the hadronic phase. For the quark phase,…
We review some results obtained by us and others concerning the structure of higher order perturbation series in perturbative QCD and their resummation using the renormalization group equation. We illustrate our results by a number of…
A novel method of studying e+e- annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e+e- colliders is described. After brief history of the method, its theoretical foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive…
In this HADRON2001 contribution we summarize the status of our quark-model calculations of hadron-hadron scattering amplitudes in annihilation-free channels. The predictions are in reasonably good agreement with experimentally known S-wave…
The polarization of $\Lambda_b$ baryon has been measured in ALEPH, OPAL and DELPHI experiments. A significant loss on the transfer of the $b$ quark polarization to the $\Lambda_b$ baryon polarization has been noticed. This implies that the…
