We propose a new formula for extracting the polarized gluon distribution $\Delta g$ in the proton from the large--$p_T$ light hadron pair production in deep inelastic semi-inclusive reactions. Though the process dominantly occurs via…

Even at moderate energy machines, there is a regime where hard pion electroproduction proceeds by a perturbatively calculable process. The process, we claim, is not the leading twist fragmentation one but rather a higher twist process that…
The mechanism of propagation of hadronic states in the medium is a key point for understanding particle-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus scattering at high energies. We have investigated the propagation of a baryon in the exclusive process…
In specific kinematics, hard exclusive amplitudes may be factorized into a short distance dominated part computable in a perturbative way on the one hand, and universal, confinement related hadronic matrix elements on the other hand. The…
