As a stringent test of the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach for inclusive heavy-quarkonium production in high-energy hadron collision, the polarized heavy-quarkonium production at the Tevatron is discussed. The polarization of…

Perturbative QCD predicts and describes various features of multihadron production. An amazing similarity between observable hadron systems and calculable underlying parton ensembles justifies the attempts to use the language of quarks and…
We present an enumeration of all possible amplitudes that contribute to an n-jet process in QCD. We estimate the number of amplitudes for large number of jets and determine the actual number of amplitudes to be calculated, which is smaller…
