This contribution presents a brief summary of the recent past efforts to experimentally explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryon chemical potentials through heavy-ion collisions. A few measurements are highlighted to present the current…
An excess of events with a rapidity gap between jets, over what would be expected from non-diffractive processes, has been observed at HERA. A process based on a perturbative QCD calculation of colour singlet exchange has been added to…
We present the QCD analysis of D-parameter distribution in near-to-planar 3-jet e+e- annihilation events. We derive the all-order resummed perturbative prediction and the leading power suppressed non-perturbative corrections both to the…
The calculation of the R-ratio of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is discussed. The method, which enables one to properly account for all the effects due to continuation of the spacelike perturbative results into the timelike…
In this paper we briefly review some examples of inclusive energy-momentum distributions and correlations in QCD intra-jet cascades. Emphasis is given to the role of gluon coherence effects in final states hadron spectra. These observables…
We review our recent works on tests of perturbative QCD, inspired by the relation between the hadronic decay of the tau lepton and the e+ e- annihilation into hadrons. First, we present a set of commensurate scale relations that probe the…
The effects of the hadronisation of partons on the distribution of event shape observables are associated with corrections which are suppressed by reciprocal powers of the energy scale of the process. The correction is determined by one…
We propose a new and universal approach to the hadronization problem that incorporates both perturbative QCD and effective field theory in their respective domains of validity and that models the transition between them in analogy to the…
We compute the survival probability $<|S|^{2}>$ of large rapidity gaps (LRG) in a QCD based eikonal model with a dynamical gluon mass, where this dynamical infrared mass scale represents the onset of nonperturbative contributions to the…
We develop a new method that allows us to deal with two-photon intermediate states in a lattice QCD calculation. We apply this method to perform a first-principles calculation of the $\pi^0 \rightarrow e^+ e^-$ decay amplitude. Both the…
We propose a new and universal approach to the hadronization problem that incorporates both partonic and hadronic degrees of freedom in their respective domains of relevance, and that describes the conversion between them within a kinetic…
At the LHC all processes are QCD ones, whether "signal" or "background". In this review the frontiers of current QCD research are addressed, towards increased understanding, improved calculational precision, and role in potential future…
We develop two further numerical tests of parton cascade models: the ideal gas equation of state and the collision frequency tests. The equation of state test checks the initial momentum distribution generator and free expansion dynamics in…
Analyzing the single inclusive annihilation spectrum of charged hadrons in $e^+e^-$ collisions, I confront the hadronization hypothesis of local parton-hadron duality with a systematic resummation of the dependence on the small energy…
For a given Hamiltonian $H$ on a multipartite quantum system, one is interested in finding the energy $E_0$ of its ground state. In the separability approximation, arising as a natural consequence of measurement in a separable basis, one…
The search for new phenomena at hadron colliders requires a good understanding of QCD processes. The analysis of multi-jet signatures in the top quark search at the Tevatron is one example, forward jet-tagging and rapidity gap techniques in…
We argue that the distribution of hadrons near the longitudinal light-cone in central high-energy pA collisions is computable in weak coupling QCD. This is because the density of gluons per unit transverse area in the dense target at…
A model of independent pair parton interactions is proposed, according to which, hadron interactions are represented by a set of independent binary parton collisions. The final multiplicity distribution is described by a convolution of the…
