We are discussing the influence of the complex structure of the QCD vacuum on the properties of the exotic multiquark states, specially the possibility for the existence of a deeply bound pentaquark. We show that the specific spin-flavor…
The BFKL and the unified angular-ordered equations are solved to determine the gluon distribution at small $x$. The impact of kinematic constraints is investigated. Predictions are made for observables sensitive to the gluon at small $x$.…
The results of a measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2)and the virtual photon-proton cross section are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 0.35 GeV^2 and 3.5 GeV^2 and for Bjorken-x values down to 6 10^{-6}…
The proton spin dependent structure function $g_1^p$ is analysed using the unified scheme incorporating both Altarelli-Parisi evolution and the double $ln^2(1/x)$ effects at low $x$. The latter are found to be very important in the region…
A search for QCD-instanton-induced events in deep inelastic ep scattering has been performed with the ZEUS detector at the HERA collider, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 38 pb^{-1}. A kinematic range defined by cuts…
The contribution of instanton-induced effective inter-quark interactions to the baryon mass splittings was considered in the bag model. It is found that results are different from those obtained in the constituent quark model where the…
We analyse the proton and deutron data on spin dependent asymmetry $A_1(x,Q^2)$ supposing the DIS structure functions $g_1(x,Q^2)$ and $F_3(x,Q^2)$ have the similar $Q^2$-dependence. As a result, we have obtained $\Gamma_1^p - \Gamma_1^n =…
The detailed analysis of nonperturbative contributions to the electromagnetic quark form factor is performed within the framework of the instanton liquid model (ILM) of the QCD vacuum. The method of the path-ordered Wilson exponentials is…
Central pseudoscalar production in $pp$ scattering is suppressed at small values of $Q_\perp$. Such a behavior is expected if the production occurs through the fusion of two vectors. We argue that an extension of the experiment could probe…
We calculate the contribution of the instanton -- anti-instanton ($I\bar I$) pairs to the vacuum energy of QCD-like theories with $N_f$ light fermions using the saddle point method. We find a qualitative change of the behavior: for $N_f \ge…
Contrary to what has been often claimed in the literature, we clarify that the hard photon-gluon cross section $\gg_{\rm hard}(x)$ in polarized deep inelastic scattering calculated in the gauge-invariant factorization scheme does {\it not}…

Instanton effects may have implications for hadronization of quark-gluon plasma as it cools. Here we study dispersion relations of mesons in a strongly coupled plasma with an instanton background present. It will be shown that at higher…
I review the standard instanton framework for determining the $\theta$-dependence of instanton-dominated correlation functions in QCD. I then contrast these well-established semiclassical results with the recent assertion of [1,2], that…
Power corrections to the Q**2 behavior of the Nachtmann moments of the proton polarized structure function g1p are investigated at large Bjorken-x by developing a phenomenological fit of both the resonance (including the photon point) and…
The existing theory of hard exclusive QCD processes is based on two assumptions: (i) $factorization$ into a $hard\,block$ times light front distribution amplitudes (DA's); (ii) use of perturbative gluon exchanges within the hard block.…
New results on diffractive deep-inelastic $e p$ scattering at HERA are presented using data taken in 1994 with the H1 detector. The cross section for diffractive deep-inelastic scattering is measured in terms of a diffractive structure…
We use over-improved stout-link smearing to investigate the presence and nature of instantons on the lattice. We find that smearing can remove short-range effects with little damage to the long-range structure of the gauge field, and that…
I present a theoretical discussion of the uncertainties related to the QCD analysis of the proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ at small $x$. The role played by the `unphysical' gluon density is pointed out. It is shown how the study of…
First attempts are described to determine the unintegrated Parton Density Function of the gluon from a fit to measurements of the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and also $F_2^c(x,Q^2)$ measured at HERA. Reasonable descriptions of both…
