(Screened) hybrid functionals are being used more and more for solid-state calculations. Usually the fraction alpha of Hartree-Fock exchange is kept fixed during the calculation, however there is no single (universal) value for alpha which…
We perform next-to-leading order global analyses of deep inelastic and related data for different fixed values of $\alpha_S (M_Z^2)$. We present sets of parton distributions for six values of $\alpha_S$ in the range 0.105 to 0.130. We…

We investigate the multiplicity dependence of the transverse momentum $p_T$ spectra of hadrons produced in high-energy collisions. We propose that the partonic distribution be parameterized by its non-extensive entropy and the parton…

We compute the strong coupling constant $G_{B^{**} B \pi} \; (G_{D^{**} D \pi})$, where $B^{**}$ ($D^{**}$) is the $0^+$ $P-$wave $b \bar q \; (c \bar q)$ state, by QCD sum rules and by light-cone sum rules. The two methods give compatible…

From a fit to the experimental data on the $b\bar{b}$ fine structure, the two-loop coupling constant is extracted. For the 1P state the fitted value is $\alpha_s(\mu_1) = 0.33 \pm 0.01(exp)\pm 0.02 (th)$ at the scale $\mu_1 = 1.8 \pm 0.1$…

We derive generic predictions at hadron colliders from the large forward-backward asymmetry observed at the Tevatron, assuming the latter arises from heavy new physics beyond the Standard Model. We use an effective field theory approach to…
It is possible to express all the strong and electromagnetic interactions of ground state hadrons in terms of a single coupling constant and the constituent quark masses, using spin-flavour relativistic supermultiplet theory. Results are…
For theoretically consistent determination of $\alpha_s$ from jet rates in deep inelastic scattering the dependence on $\alpha_s$ of parton distribution functions is in principle as important as that of hard scattering cross-sections. For…
We describe two calculations involving P-wave mesons made of Wilson quarks: the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ in the presence of two flavors of light dynamical fermions and the mass and decay constant of the $a_1$ meson.
