The light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) of a heavy-light meson defined in heavy quark effective theory (HQET), is a fundamental nonperturbative input to account for innumerable $B$ meson exclusive decay and production processes. On the…
Heavy quark productions in high energy polarized scatterings are reviewed from a personal point of view. After mentioning why heavy quark physics is so interesting, I concentrate on two rather specific subjects: (1) polarized…
The introduction of a hard singularity in fits to total cross sections and to the ratio of real to imaginary parts enables to reproduce perfectly the data for sqrt(s)< 100 GeV using only simple-pole parametrisations, both for the soft and…
Heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil energy of the light meson have been conjectured to obey a factorization formula, where the set of form factors is reduced to a smaller number of universal form factors up to…
The coefficient functions for heavy-flavour production in deeply inelastic electron-hadron scattering have been calculated previously. Analytic expressions are impossible to publish due to their length. Therefore we have tabulated them as…
We calculate the cross section of the deeply virtual Compton scattering at large energies and intermediate momentum transfers.
I briefly review several mechanisms of central exclusive production of mesons at high energies. Some illustrative examples for the BNL RHIC, FNAL Tevatron and CERN LHC as well as for lower energies are discussed. Some differential…
We demonstrate a factorization formula for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering with hadrons in the current fragmentation region detected at low transverse momentum. To facilitate the factorization, we introduce the transverse-momentum…
A Pomeron model applicable to both "`soft" and "hard" processes is suggested and tested against the high-energy data from virtual photon-induced reactions. The Pomeron is universal, containing two terms, a "soft" and a "hard" one, whose…
In this paper we analyze in detail how the measurements of exclusive electroproduction of mesons on neutrons would complement the studies of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton, providing independent experimental…
We provide a precise statement of hard-soft-collinear factorization of scattering amplitudes and prove it to all orders in perturbation theory. Factorization is formulated as the equality at leading power of scattering amplitudes in QCD…
We compare the numerical predictions for heavy quark production in high energy hadron collisions of the conventional QCD parton model and the $k_T$-factorization approach (semihard theory). The total production cross sections, one-particle…
We consider the electroproduction of two vector mesons with a large rapidity gap between them on a nucleon target in the process $ \gamma ^* N \to \rho_1 \rho_2 N'$. We calculate the Born term for this process within the collinear…

We give a short overview of recent developments in understanding of the deeply virtual Compton scattering on the proton target.
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) carry information on the internal structure of hadrons such as the angular momentum of quarks and gluons, or their spacelike distribution. They can be experimentally studied in exclusive experiments…
We consider the azimuthal angle dependence in the cross section of the hard leptoproduction of a photon on a nucleon target. We show that this dependence allows to define observables that isolate the twist-two and twist-three sectors in the…
Hard hadronic exclusive processes are now at the forefront of QCD studies, particularly because of their role in the interpretation of exclusive hadronic B decays. Perturbative QCD and its factorization properties at high momentum transfer…
