The available experimental information is consistent with the Weinberg predictions for the threshold parameters of pi-pi-scattering. The data, however, only test those relations that are insensitive to the quark masses m_u and m_d. Recent…
After a brief review of the kinematics of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) within the so-called $\Sigma$ method, we derive the necessary formulae for the treatment of QED radiative corrections to DIS originating from hard photon radiation.…

The elastic hadron-hadron scattering at high energies is one of the most fundamental subjects of all particle physics problems and yet is least understood in spite of many advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the conceptual level. We…
The distribution of the azimuthal angle for the charged hadrons has been studied in the hadronic centre-of-mass system for neutral current deep inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA. Measurements of the dependence of the moments of…

While much attention has been focussed on the successes of perturbative QCD in describing the $Q^2$-dependence of deep-inelastic structure functions, the starting distributions themselves contain important, non-perturbative information on…
Preliminary H1 results on dedicated searches for QCD instanton induced processes in DIS are presented. The investigations are based on the expected characteristics of their hadronic final state. Searches were performed in the kinematical…

Despite many experimental verifications of the correctness of our basic understanding of QCD, there remain numerous open questions in strong interaction physics and we focus on the role of future colliders in addressing these questions. We…
