Soft diffractive cross sections in $pp$ (or $\bar pp$), $\pi p$ and $\gamma p$ collisions are calculated using QCD-motivated pomeron. The $s$-channel unitarization of the amplitude is performed by the eikonal approach, and in the framework…
On the basis of the experimental data on diffractive processes in $\pi p$, $pp$ and $p \bar p$ collisions at intermediate, moderately high and high energies, we restore the scattering amplitude related to the $t$-channel exchange by vacuum…
Soft photons produced in heavy ion collisions are an important tool for probing the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. It is therefore crucial to understand the background - soft photons produced in elementary collisions. Low theorem…
We discuss two types of contributions to hadronic form factors in QCD: hard gluon exchange and soft wave function overlap. Within the QCD sum rule approach, the hard contribution has strong numeric suppression by factor (\alpha_s/\pi) ~ 0.1…
We investigate the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of heavy quark transport in a thermal QCD medium. Based on the Soft-Hard Factorized Model (SHFM), we extend the original perturbative framework to the near-critical temperature…
Recent experimental results on the partonic structure of the photon and on the color singlet exchange in strong interaction processes are reviewed. At the LEP electron-positron and HERA lepton-proton colliders, complementary and consistent…
The basic ideas and some results of the semiclassical approach to diffractive DIS are briefly described. In the production of high-$p_{\perp}$ jets boson-gluon fusion is predicted to be the dominant partonic process. The…
Recent studies based on non-perturbative lattice Monte-Carlo solutions of Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of strong interactions, demonstrated that at high temperature there is a phase change from confined hadronic matter to a deconfined…
In a covariant Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach and with a rainbow-ladder truncated model of QCD, we investigate the use of an effective interaction with the goal of reproducing QCD phenomenology. We extend previous studies and present…
Studies of hadron production in proton-proton collisions, including charged particle transverse momentum, pseudo-rapidity and event-by-event multiplicity distributions at \sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV are shown. Measured spectra of…
In the deconfinement phase of QCD quarks and gluons interact with the dense stochastic colour-magnetic vacuum. We consider the dynamics of quarks in this deconfinement phase using the Field Correlators Method and derive an effective…
QCD at finite temperature below the phase transition should be determined in terms of colour singlet states such as hadrons and strings. We show how quark-hadron duality allows extracting sensible information concerning heavy quark and…
We report on some attempts to use lattice QCD to investigate topics in strong interactions phenomenology which are usually interpreted in terms of soft Pomeron exchange.
Non perturbative results from lattice QCD will be discussed, namely: Vacuum Condensates and QCD Sum Rules; $U_A(1)$ and Topology; Confinement of Color.
Color singlet two gluon exchange provides a perturbative model for the pomeron. This mechanism is thought to explain the production of rapidity gaps in hard dijet events at the Tevatron. It is shown that in $qQ$ scattering via two gluon…
Within the spirit of the Hadron Resonance Gas model, we study a representation of the heavy $\bar{Q}Q$ free energy at temperatures below the phase transition in terms of the string and heavy-light hadrons. We discuss the string breaking…
The aim of this review is to demonstrate that there exists a coherent picture of strong interactions, based on instantons. Starting from the first principles of QCD - via the microscopic mechanism of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking -…
It is shown that standard constituent quark models produce $(\bar c c qqq)$ hidden-charm pentaquarks, where $c$ denotes the charmed quark and $q$ a light quark, which lie below the lowest threshold for spontaneous dissociation and thus are…
An effective field theory for clean electron systems is developed in analogy to the generalized nonlinear sigma-model for disordered interacting electrons. The physical goal is to separate the soft or massless electronic degrees of freedom…
The effects of the propagation of particles which have a finite life-time and an according width in their mass spectrum are discussed in the context of transport descriptions. In the first part the coupling of soft photon modes to a source…
