We discuss the prospects for measuring the W mass in Run II of the Tevatron and at the LHC. The basic techniques used to measure M_W are described and the statistical, theoretical and detector-related uncertainties are discussed in detail.
This talk examines recent progress in collider QCD and some facets of the interplay between these developments and searches for new particles and phenomena at the Tevatron and LHC.
We consider pair production and decay of fundamental unstable particles in the framework of a modified perturbation theory (MPT), which treats resonant contributions of unstable particles in the sense of distributions. The cross-sections…
We provide an assessment of the impact of parton distributions on the determination of LHC processes, and of the accuracy with which parton distributions (PDFs) can be extracted from data, in particular from current and forthcoming HERA…
We report on recent determinations of NNLO parton distributions and of $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ based on the world deep-inelastic data, supplemented by collider data. Some applications are discussed for semi-inclusive processes at the LHC.
In this talk an introduction to generalized parton distributions is given. Recent developments are shortly reviewed, including non-perturbative calculations, phenomenological aspects and evaluation of higher order perturbative and power…
We recall the physical features of the parton distributions in the quantum statistical approach of the nucleon. Some predictions from a next-to-leading order QCD analysis are compared to recent experimental results. We also consider their…
We describe new QCD fits to diffractive cross sections measured at HERA and we use the parton densities derived from these fits to predict the shape of the dijet mass fraction in double Pomeron exchange at the Tevatron. We discuss the…
Light vector meson leptoproduction is analyzed on the basis of the generalized parton distributions. Our results on the cross section and spin effects are in good agrement with experiment at HERA, COMPASS and HERMES energies. Predictions…

In the extra dimension models of ADD and RS we study the dependence of the various parton distribution functions on observable of Drell-Yan process to NLO in QCD at LHC and Tevatron energies. Uncertainties at LHC due to factorisation scales…
We discuss the excess in the hadroproduction of B mesons at the Tevatron. We show that an accurate use of up-to-date information on the B fragmentation function reduces the observed excess to an acceptable level. Possible implications for…
A discussion is presented of the manner in which uncertainties in parton distributions and related quantities are determined. One of the central problems is the criteria used to judge what variation of the parameters describing a set of…
We report on potential for measurement of W and Z boson production, as well as the production in association with jets. Of particular interest are jet multiplicity and $P_{\rm T}$ distributions. The 10 to $100 {\rm pb}^{-1}$ datasets…
We study the QCD sources of systematic uncertainties in the experimental extraction of the W cross section at hadron colliders. The uncertainties appear in the evaluation of the detector acceptances used to convert the number of observed…
We study the viability of observation of CPT violation in the top sector at future colliders. We show possible studies and different estimates for hadronic and linear colliders. In particular, we will present current constraints for…

Cross section predictions of W and Z bosons in association with jets (up to 6 jets, $W\to\ell^{\pm}\nu$ and $Z\to\ell^{\pm}$ where $\ell^{\pm}$=$e^{\pm}$ or $\mu^{\pm}$) in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=14 TeV is performed using…
