The perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is quite successful in the description of main features of multiparticle production processes. Ten most appealing characteristics are described in this brief review talk and compared with QCD…
We outline $QCD$ predictions for the diffractive electroproduction of heavy flavor vector mesons and compare them with available data.
We present a nonperturbative QCD calculation of diffractive vector meson production in virtual photon nucleon scattering at high energy. We use the nonperturbative model of the stochastic QCD vacuum which yields linear confinement and makes…
There are many outstanding discrepancies comparing the predictions of perturbative QCD and measurements of the rate of production and decay of heavy quark systems. The problems include the $J/\psi \to \rho \pi$ puzzle, leading charmed…
A brief review on the recent theoretical progress in hot/dense QCD is given. Special emphasis is put on the non-perturbative aspects of QCD plasma and the modification of hadron proporties near the critical temperature of chiral transition.
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
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…

We compute the total cross section of a heavy quarkonium on a hadron target in leading twist QCD, including target mass corrections. Our method relies on the analytical continuation of the operator product expansion of the scattering…

In this thesis we explore a diverse array of issues that strike at the inherently nonperturbative structure of hadrons at momenta below the QCD confinement scale. In so doing, we mainly seek a better control over the partonic substructure…
In the first part of this talk, I will summarize recent developments in the study of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions h_1(x,Q^2) and h_L(x,Q^2) of the nucleon, in particular, (i) Next-to- leading order Q^2 evolution of…
Central exclusive production (CEP) processes in high-energy hadron collisions offer a very promising framework for studying both novel aspects of QCD and new physics signals. We report on the results of a theoretical study of the CEP of…
We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the…
The physics of heavy quarks becomes a very reach area of study thanks to an excellent operation of hadron colliders and $B$-factories and exciting results from them. Experimental data obtained allows to get some information about the heavy…
It has long been expected that the spectrum of hadrons in QCD would be far richer and extensive than experiment has so far revealed. While there have been experimental hints of this richness for some time, it is really only in the last few…
I present recent results on the theory of QCD matter production in high energy heavy ion collisions and on the interactions of heavy quarks in such environment. The centrality and rapidity dependence of hadron production is evaluated in…
After a brief recapitulation of the general interest of parton densities, we discuss multiple hard interactions and multiparton distributions. We report on recent theoretical progress in their QCD description, on outstanding conceptual…
