We study the role of semi-classical QCD vacuum solutions in high energy scattering by considering the instanton contribution to hadronic cross sections. We propose a new type of instanton-induced interactions (``instanton ladder'') that…

We study entropy production in Deep Inelastic Scattering using Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the dominant contribution to entropy is due to soft gluons. This contribution is usually neglected in standard Monte Carlo approaches,…
We discuss two topics in the production of heavy quarks in deep-inelastic scattering: the next-to-leading order Monte-Carlo HVQDIS and the next-to-leading logarithmic resummation of soft gluon effects, including estimates of…
I discuss possibilities to observe the instanton-induced contributions to deep inelastic scattering which correspond to nonperturbative exponential corrections to the coefficient functions in front of parton distributions of the leading…

The contribution of the nonperturbative quark-gluon interaction induced by the instantons to $g_1^p(x,Q^2)$ and $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ structure functions is estimated. It is shown that nontrivial $Q^2$ dependence of the instanton contribution to…

It is by now well understood that spin asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) can appear if two things are both present: (i) a chirality flip of the struck quark; (ii) a nonzero T-odd phase due to its final state interaction. So far…
We present our results for inclusive instanton-induced cross-sections in deep-inelastic scattering, paying in particular attention to the residual renormalization-scale dependencies. A ``fiducial'' kinematical region in the relevant Bjorken…
An introduction to some outstanding issues in QCD is presented, with emphasis on work by Diakonov and co-workers on the influence of the instanton vacuum on low-energy QCD observables. This includes the calculation of input valence-parton…
