We argue that the appearance of the Landau pole in the running coupling of QCD introduces 1/Q^2 power corrections in current correlation functions. These terms are not accounted for by the standard operator product expansion and is the…
I discuss the effects of QCD radiative corrections in Supersymmetric theories. After summarizing the SUSY--QCD lagrangian in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, I will discuss the new features introduced by SUSY, and…
The well-known problem of the unknown power corrections within QCD improved factorisation leaves the interpretation of the so-called LHCb anomalies in the angular observables of B-->K* mu+ mu- as an open problem. In order to contribute to…
By performing an analysis in moment space using high statistics DIS world data, we extract the values of both the QCD parameter $\Lambda^{(4)}_{\bar{MS}}$ up to NLO and of the power corrections to the proton structure function, $F_2$. At…
A group theoretical procedure for parametrizing non-forward matrix elements of non-local QCD operators is introduced. The related (two-variable) distribution amplitudes are given as sum over power corrections of the double distributions.…
Methods of summation of power series relevant to applications in quantum theory are reviewed, with particular attention to expansions in powers of the coupling constant and in inverse powers of an energy variable. Alternatives to the Borel…
High-order behavior of the perturbative expansion for short-distance observables in QCD is intimately related to the contributions of small momenta in the corresponding Feynman diagrams and this correspondence provides one with a useful…
Current phenomenological studies of jet observables at colliders are clearly limited by the theoretical uncertainties inherent in the next-to-leading order QCD description. We discuss the recent progress made towards the calculation of QCD…
The duality between QCD perturbative series and power corrections recently conjectured by Narison and Zakharov is analyzed. We propose to study correlations between both contributions as diagnostics tool. A very strong correlation between…
A short review is given of the present status of the studies of genuine confinement effects in multiple hadron production in hard processes
We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…
We discuss power corrections to infrared safe cross sections and event shapes, and identify a nonperturbative function that governs 1/Q corrections to these quantities.
I explain the motivation for investigating the high energy limit of QCD and give a brief presentation of recent progress in the understanding of unitarity corrections in this kinematic regime. Special emphasis is given to the conformal…
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
We consider an interpretation of the recent lattice data on the current-current correlators in the x-space. The data indicate rather striking difference between (axial)vector and (pseudo)scalar channels which goes beyond the predictions of…
We present the calculation of the short-distance power corrections to the CP-violation parameter $\varepsilon_K$ coming from dimension-8 operators in the $\Delta S=2$ effective Hamiltonian. A first estimate of this contribution, obtained…
I review the recent work on obtaining precise estimates of higher-order corrections in QCD and field theory.
Power corrections to hadronic event shapes are estimated using a recently suggested relationship between perturbative and non-perturbative effects in QCD. The infrared cutoff dependence of perturbative calculations is related to…
We present recent results from experimental studies of power corrections in the model of Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Webber using data from the process e+e- -> hadrons at several centre-of-mass energies. Fitted O(alpha_S^2)+NLLA QCD…
The QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics provides an attractive theoretical approach to the study of the QCD (resummed) perturbative expansion of small-x physics and more generally to hard high-energy processes. We discuss applications to…
