We review the extension of the factorization formalism for perturbative QCD to soft initial- and final-state scattering associated with hard processes in nuclei.
In principle, quantum chromodynamics provides a fundamental description of hadronic and nuclear structure and dynamics in terms of their elementary quark and gluon degrees of freedom. In practice, the direct application of QCD to reactions…
I briefly review: (a) some recent developments in the theory of hard scattering in QCD with polarized beams, and (b) coherent hard diffraction (that is, hard scattering in diffractive events, with the Pomeron behaving in an apparently…
In the framework of the hard pomeron model it is shown that at large $Q^2$ the diffractive contribution to the structure functions rises as $Q^{0.3362}$ and much slowlier than the total contribution rising as $Q$.
We present a comprehensive study on how to distinguish the properties of heavy dijet resonances at hadron colliders. A variety of spins, chiral couplings, charges, and QCD color representations are considered. Distinguishing the different…
Hard semiexclusive processes provide an opportunity to design effective currents to probe specific parton distributions and to probe in leading order parton distributions that fully inclusive reactions probe only via higher order…
The hadronization of a high-energy parton is described by fragmentation functions which are introduced through QCD factorizations. While the hadronization mechanism per se remains uknown, fragmentation functions can still be investigated…
Several topics in QCD are reviewed, including: the light-cone Fock state representation, which encodes the flavor, spin and other quark and gluon correlations of hadrons in the form of universal process-independent amplitudes; the…
Factorization, in the sense defined for inclusive hard scattering, is discussed for diffractive hard scattering. A factorization theorem similar to its inclusive counterpart is presented for diffractive DIS. For hadron-hadron diffractive…
The aim of these lectures is to convey a working knowledge of Light Front Holographic QCD and Supersymmetric Light Front Holographic QCD. We first give an overview of holographic QCD in general and then concentrate on the application of the…
The diffractive dissociation of a hadron at high energies, by either Coulomb or Pomeron exchange, has a natural description in QCD as the materialization of the projectile's light-cone wavefunctions; in particular, the diffractive…
We determine the diffractive scattering amplitude of a color-dipole on a nucleon using a non-perturbative model of QCD which contains only parameters taken from low-energy physics. This allows to relate specific features of the confinement…
This talk presents an introduction to the use of dispersion relations to constrain the shapes of hadronic form factors consistent with QCD. The applications described include methods for studying |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, the strange quark…
This is an introduction to the use of QCD perturbation theory, emphasizing generic features of the theory that enable one to separate short-time and long-time effects. I also cover some important classes of applications: electron-positron…
In this talk, I review the use of the light-cone Fock expansion as a tractable and consistent description of relativistic many-body systems and bound states in quantum field theory and as a frame-independent representation of the physics of…
A fundamental goal in QCD is to understand the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark,…
Colour transparency is a cute and indispensable property of QCD as the gauge theory of strong interaction. CT tests of QCD consist of production of the perturbative small-sized hadronic state and measuring the strngth of its…
I discuss and connect a number of topics in small-x physics at HERA and at LHC, pointing out recent progress and open questions in theory and phenomenology.
This is a cursory review of diffractive studies ( mostly elastic scattering)at the LHC with physical interpretation of the experimental data and comments to related problems of theory.
We outline major ideas involved in discussion of color coherence phenomena (CCP) at intermediate energies. We point out that the recent advances in calculating cross sections of hard exclusive processes off light nuclei allow to use the…
