We report on investigations concerning the production of large transverse momentum jets in DIS diffractive dissociation. These processes constitute a new class of events that allow for a clean test of perturbative QCD and of the hard…
A perturbative QCD calculation of heavy flavor quark fragmentation into heavy flavor baryons is developed along the lines of corresponding heavy meson models. The non-perturbative formation of the baryon is accomplished by implementing the…
We study diffractive hard dijet production, with one or two rapidity gaps, at high energies. We emphasize that both hard and Regge factorization are broken in these processes. We show that a multi-Pomeron-exchange model for screening…

We discuss the description of the proton structure function within the dipole factorisation framework. We parametrise the forward dipole amplitude to account for saturation as predicted by the small-x QCD evolution equations. Contrarily to…
The non-conservation of charmed-strange current in the neutrino deep inelastic scattering ($\nu$DIS) strongly affects the longitudinal structure function, $F_L$, at small values of Bjorken $x$. The corresponding correction to $F_L$ is a…
The charge of the leading particle in DIS interactions is studied with the QCD models LEPTO, ARIADNE, RAPGAP and HERWIG. It is predicted to be preferentially positive, as is expected from the modified quark parton model and is studied over…

Recently, a new perturbative QCD factorization formalism for heavy quarkonium production at a large transverse momentum was proposed. Phenomenological application of this new approach relies on our knowledge of a large number of universal…
We study the Regge trajectories and the quark-antiquark energy in excited hadrons composed by different dynamical mass constituents via the gauge/string correspondence. First we exemplify the procedure in a supersymmetric system, D3-D7, in…
Initial- and final-state rescattering, neglected in the parton model, have a profound effect in QCD hard-scattering reactions, predicting single-spin asymmetries, diffractive deep inelastic scattering, diffractive hard hadronic reactions,…
Recent measurements of diffractive dijet and charm quark production in electron-proton collisions using the H1 detector at HERA are presented, where the exchanged photon is either almost real or highly virtual. The data are compared with…
We compute the drag force exerted on a quark and a di-quark systems in a background dual to large-N QCD at finite temperature. We find that appears a drag force in the former setup with flow of energy proportional to the mass of the quark…

We compute the hard diffractive hadroproduction of bosons W at high energies using Regge factorization and taking into account multiple Pomeron exchange corrections. The ratio of diffractive to non-diffractive W production agrees with the…
We study the baryonic fluctuations of electric charge, baryon number and strangeness, by considering a realization of the Hadron Resonance Gas model in the light flavor sector of QCD. We elaborate on the idea that the susceptibilities can…
Quark-quark double scattering in eA DIS and its contribution to quark and anti-quark fragmentation functions are investigated with the generalized factorization of the relevant twist-four processes in pQCD. It is shown that the resulting…
Measurements of the diffractive structure function, $F_2^D$, of the proton at HERA are used to extract the partonic structure of the Pomeron. Regge Factorization is tested and is found to describe well the existing data within the selected…
If constituent quarks are to emerge from QCD they must have well defined colour and be energetically favoured. After reviewing the general properties of charges in gauge theories, a method for constructing charges is presented and applied…
Exclusive electroproduction of hard dijets can be described within the collinear factorization. This process has clear experimental signature and provides one with an interesting alternative venue to test QCD description of hard diffractive…
