The property of gluon Reggeization plays an essential role in the derivation of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation for the cross sections at high energy $\sqrt s$ in perturbative QCD. This property has been proved to all…
We calculate the leading quantum corrections to the meson form factors of nonrelativistic kinks, at momentum transfer much higher than the meson mass. We consider general scalar theories which need not be integrable. Our approach is much…
Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) predicts colour octet contributions to be significant not only in many production processes of heavy quarkonia but also in their radiative decays. We investigate the photon energy distributions in these…
Gluon-induced contributions to the associated production of a Higgs and a Z-boson are calculated with NLO accuracy in QCD. They constitute a significant contribution to the cross section for this process. The perturbative correction factor…
Color-octet scalars arise in various Grand Unification scenarios and also in other models of new physics. They are also postulated for minimal flavour violation. Purely phenomenological imprints of such scalars are therefore worth looking…
We consider the Lagrange density of non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics expanded up to order $1/m^2$, where $m$ is the heavy quark mass, and compute several matching coefficients up to two-loop order. Our results are building blocks for…
We study the large-$t$ small angle behavior of quark-quark elastic scattering. We employ a factorization procedure previously developed for fixed angle scattering, which depends on the color structure of the factorized hard subprocess. We…

Quarks and gluon, as quantum particles, are subjects to various effects that go beyond the naive parton picture and are not captured by ordinary parton densities. In this work, we investigate the twist-three parton distribution functions,…
Orbital angular momentum is crucial for the description of several process at large momentum transfer in the impulse approximation in perturbative QCD. We review the mechanism of independent scattering which makes violation of the helicity…

Constituent quark number scaling of elliptic flow has been proposed as one key observable to identify the phase transition or the absence of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions. At the fixed target program at RHIC the STAR…
The self-consistency of the assumption of Reggeized form of the production amplitudes in multi-Regge kinematics, which are used in the derivation of the BFKL equation, leads to strong bootstrap conditions. The fulfillment of these…
