Two-hadron correlations are a sensitive probe of the dynamics of gluon saturation and the Color Glass Condensate formalism where the degrees of freedom are Wilson lines of the gluon field. It is shown that unlike structure functions in DIS…
Color charge correlations in the proton at moderately small $x\sim 0.1$ are extracted from its light-cone wave function. The charge fluctuations are far from Gaussian and they exhibit interesting dependence on impact parameter and on the…
The number of gluons in the hadron wave function is discrete, and their formation in the chain of small $x$ evolution occurs over discrete rapidity intervals of $\Delta y \simeq 1/\as$. We therefore consider the evolution as a discrete…
We discuss a model for the energy distribution and the early space-time evolution of a heavy ion collision. We estimate the gluon field generated in the wake of hard processes and through primordial fluctuations of the color charges in the…

We demonstrate that QCD-like gauge dynamics can be consistently embedded within the Dark Technicolor paradigm by invoking the extended Most Attractive Channel hypothesis, thereby revitalizing conventional technicolor scenarios. In this…
We study inclusive and diffractive dijet production in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions within the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory. We compute dijet cross sections differentially in both mean dijet transverse…
We study a class of models in which the Higgs pair production is enhanced at hadron colliders by an extra neutral scalar. The scalar particle is produced by the gluon fusion via a loop of new colored particles, and decays into di-Higgs…
We study quantum fluctuations of the nucleon's parton densities by combining QCD factorization for hard processes with the notion of cross section fluctuations in soft diffraction. The fluctuations of the small-x gluon density are related…
We consider a new massive vector-boson Z' that couples to leptons through the L_mu - L_tau current, and to quarks through an arbitrary set of couplings. We show that such a model can be obtained from a renormalizable field theory involving…
As part of a project to obtain better optical response functions for nano materials and other systems with strong excitonic effects we here calculate the exchange-correlation (XC) potential of density-functional theory (DFT) at a level of…
We describe a method for calculating the exchange and correlation (XC) contributions to the total energy, effective potential, and stress tensor in the generalized gradient approximation. We avoid using the analytical expressions for the…

Linear and non-linear QCD evolutions at high energy suffer from severe issues related to convergence, due to higher order corrections enhanced by large double and single transverse logarithms. We resum double logarithms to all orders by…
The evolution of high order correlation functions of a test scalar field in arbitrary inflationary backgrounds is computed. Whenever possible, exact results are derived from quantum field theory calculations. Taking advantage of the fact…
We investigate the interactions of color neutral fields with gluons in the regge region, and propose a model in which the field strength of the gluons couple to these fields. This model yields to first order in perturbation theory a…
I discuss the physical picture underlying the evolution equations with Pomeron loops recently derived in multicolor QCD at high energy and qualitatively explain the notion of `self-duality'.
We consider high energy scattering in the effective theory of the Color Glass Condensate. The most convenient degrees of freedom are Wilson lines encoding multiple gluon exchanges, whose evolution with energy follows the JIMWLK equation.…
