We review the application of perturbative QCD to diffractive processes. We introduce the two gluon exchange model to describe diffractive qq(bar) and qq(bar)g production in deep inelastic scattering. We study the triple Regge limit and…
We develop an Effective Field Theory approach for jet observables in heavy-ion collisions, where the jet is treated as an open quantum system interacting with a hot and dense QCD medium. Within this framework, we derive a novel…
We derive the nonlinear k_\perp-factorization for the spectrum of jets in high-mass diffractive deep inelastic scattering as a function of three hard scales - the virtuality of the photon Q^2, the transverse momentum of the jet and the…
We discuss recent theoretical results on diffractive deeply inelastic scattering, focusing on the partonic picture of diffraction in configuration space and the predictions for the beta behavior and the scaling violation.
We show in detail that the $k_T$-factorization for exclusive processes is gauge-dependent and inconsistent.
The results of experiments at hadron colliders probing the structure of the pomeron through hard diffraction are reviewed. Some results on deep inelastic diffractive scattering obtained at HERA are also discussed and placed in perspective.…
We derive the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization for heavy quark pair production in deep inelastic scattering, where the total transverse momentum is much smaller than the invariant mass of the pair. The factorization is…
We outline the basic properties of a pertubative QCD factorization formalism that maintains exact over-all kinematics in both the initial and final states. Such a treatment requires the use of non-perturbative factors that depend on all…
Exclusive processes in hard electroproduction are one of the best place for understanding QCD in view of its factorization properties. In particular, in the limit of asymptotic gamma* p center of mass energy, they give an access to the…

Several methods to extract the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ by means of highly energetic jets in Deep-Inelastic Scattering are presented. The results from the various methods agree with one another and with the world average. The…
We derive a full set, and determine the twist, of helicity amplitudes for diffractive production of light to heavy vector mesons in deep inelastic scattering. For large $Q^{2}$ all helicity amplitudes but the double-flip are calculable in…
Results on soft and hard diffraction in $pp$ and $\bar pp$ collisions are reviewed with emphasis on factorization and scaling properties of differential cross sections. While conventional factorization breaks down at high energies, a…
We prove factorization in the decay of a B meson into a D* + jet using the Large Energy Effective Theory. The proof is non perturbative, does not require any gauge fixing and is exact in the limit of a very narrow jet. On the other hand, it…
We prove a factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors. Our result differs in several important ways from previous proposals. A proper separation of scales gives hard kernels that are free of endpoint singularities. A general…
In order to examine polarized strange quark distribution, semi-inclusive $D/\Dbar$ production in neutrino deep inelastic scattering is studied including ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ corrections. Cross section and spin asymmetry are calculated by…
