We discuss the coherent photo- and leptoproduction of vector mesons from deuterium at intermediate (virtual) photon energies, 3 GeV < nu < 30 GeV. These processes provide several options to explore the space-time evolution of small size…
A model of cut-off momentum distribution functions in a Quark Gluon Plasma with finite baryon chemical potential is discussed. This produces a quark gluon plasma signature in Ultra Relativistic Nuclear Collisions with a specific structure…
We give a general formula for the cross section for diffractive vector meson electroproduction, gamma^* p -> Vp. We first calculate diffractive qqbar production, and then use parton-hadron duality by projecting out the J^P = 1^- state in…
The production of antiprotons in $pp$ collisions is investigated close to threshold where experimental data about the total cross section are not available. We analyze the latter reaction within the LUND string model for inclusive $\bar{p}$…
We discuss single diffractive gauge bosons ($\gamma^*,\,W^{\pm},\,Z$) production in proton-proton collisions at different (LHC and RHIC) energies within the color dipole approach. The calculations are performed for gauge bosons produced at…
We study high mass dilepton production from gluon-induced processes, $g q \to q \gamma^*$, $g \bar q \to \bar q \gamma^*$, and $g g \to q \bar q \gamma^*$, in a thermally equilibrated but chemically under-saturated partonic matter that is…
Estimates for electroproduction of pseudoscalar mesons at small values of skewness are presented. Cross sections and asymmetries for these processes are calculated within the handbag approach which is based on factorization in hard parton…
Exclusive meson leptoproduction from nucleons in the deeply virtual exchanged boson limit can be described by generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Including spin dependence in the description requires 8 independent quark-parton and…
We argue that the distribution of hadrons near the longitudinal light-cone in central high-energy pA collisions is computable in weak coupling QCD. This is because the density of gluons per unit transverse area in the dense target at…
We consider forward inclusive production of two quarks in the high energy p-A collisions in the CGC formalism. We demonstrate that the production cross-section is determined by the convolution of the proton generalized double transverse…
The transverse target spin azimuthal asymmetry A_UT in hard exclusive production of rho^0 mesons was measured at COMPASS by scattering 160 GeV/c muons off transversely polarised protons and deuterons. The measured asymmetry is sensitive to…
The target asymmetry for electroproduction of vector mesons is investigated within the handbag approach. While the generalized parton distribution (GPD) H is taken from a previous analysis of the elctroproduction cross section, we here…
Using data collected with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have compared proton, lambda (charged conjugate modes are implicit) and meson (phi and f2(1270)) production observed in gluon fragmentation vs. quark…
We present the results of (anti)neutrino induced CCQE cross sections from some nuclear targets in the energy region of $E_\nu \le 1 GeV$. The aim of the study is to confront electron and muon production cross sections relevant for $\nu_\mu…
We consider a contribution to J/psi hadroproduction in which the meson production is mediated by three-gluon partonic state, with two gluons coming from the target and one gluon from the projectile. This mechanism involves double gluon…
We show that the production of a Higgs boson in association with a jet in proton-proton collisions is sensitive to the linear polarization of gluons inside unpolarized protons. We present the analytical expressions, at leading order in…
We investigate the inclusive Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at high energies in the framework of kt-factorization QCD approach. The attention is focused on the dominant off-shell gluon-gluon fusion subprocess, where the…
Using the ``glueball dominance'' picture of the mixing between q\bar{q} mesons of different hidden flavors, we establish new glueball-meson mass relations which serve as a basis for glueball spectral systematics. For the tensor glueball…
Non-perturbative QCD mechanisms are of fundamental importance in strong interaction physics. In particular, the flavor singlet axial anomaly leads to a gluonic pole mechanism which has been shown to explain the $\eta^{\prime}$ mass,…
We discuss exclusive elastic double diffractive axial-vector \chi_c(1^{+}) meson production in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The amplitude for the process is derived within the k_t-factorisation approach with unintegrated…
