It has recently been pointed out that CDF data for the cross section of high-p_t charged particles show an excess of up to three orders of magnitude over QCD predictions, a feature tentatively ascribed to possible violations of…
We discuss the inclusive high-pT charged-particle production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The experimental data are compared to the NLO perturbative QCD calculations employing various sets of parton-to-hadron fragmentation…
It has been conjectured that the relative phase between strong and electromagnetic amplitudes is universally $-90^{\circ}$ in charmonium decays. $\psi^{\prime}$ decaying into pseudoscalar pair provides a possibility to test this conjecture.…
We derive the high energy asymptotic behavior of gauge boson production cross section in a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory in the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. On the basis of this result we obtain the…
Processes involving heavy quarks are a crucial component of the LHC physics program, both by themselves and as backgrounds for Higgs physics and new physics searches. In this work, we critically reconsider the validity of the widely-adopted…
The top-quark mass can be determined with very high precision from a scan of the total $e^+e^-\to b\bar{b}W^+W^-X$ cross section near the top-pair production threshold. We present the full calculation of electroweak and non-resonant…
We review the main aspects of the fragmentation of bottom quarks in top quark decay. The NLO b-quark energy spectrum presents large mass logarithms ln(m_t^2/m_b^2), which can be resummed by the use of the approach of perturbative…
The production of various heavy-quark-containing baryons in electron-positron annihilation is considered. On the basis of exact formulas that we obtained previously within full perturbation theory, new numerical calculations of the…
In a recent paper Castellanos-Jaramillo and Castellanos-Moreno proposed a simple quantum-mechanical model for an electron in the vicinity of an ionized nanostructure with a permanent electric dipole. They chose the interaction of the…
The classical limit for generalized partition functions is obtained using coherent states. In this framework it is presented a general procedure to obtain all the corrections to the classical limit. In particular, the first and second order…
We investigate the problem of factorization of large numbers on a quantum computer which we imagine to be realized within a linear ion trap. We derive upper bounds on the size of the numbers that can be factorized on such a quantum…
The production and decay of supersymmetric particles is presented. The dependence of the hadro-production cross section for weakly and strongly interacting yields an improvement of derived mass bounds or the measurement of the masses,…

It is proposed a Lagrangian for the quasi-rigid extended charged particle, which consists of a bare point particle term plus the standard electromagnetic minimal coupling. The quasi-rigid motion is imposed as a constraint. The extension of…
We construct in this paper global (for $t \geq 0$) and bounded solutions $u(t)$ for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \[i \partial_t u + \Delta u + |u|^{p-1} u = 0, \quad t \in \mathbb{R}, x \in \mathbb{R}^d\] in mass sub-critical cases…
Given a charge and current distribution with compact support, the associated potentials and fields are generally not integrable in the classical sense. However, it is convenient to be able to define their Fourier transform in order to…
The issue of factorization within the context of coincidence quasi-elastic electron scattering is reviewed. Using a relativistic formalism for the entire reaction mechanism and restricting ourselves to the case of plane waves for the…
In this Comment, we refute conclusions made in Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 233601 (2014) by L.-G. Wang, L. Wang, M. Al-Amri, S.-Y. Zhu, and M. S. Zubairy. These conclusions stem from the use of the linear theory, which is not applicable to…
We investigate a specific set of two-loop self-energy corrections involving squared decay rates and point out that their interpretation is highly problematic. The corrections cannot be interpreted as radiative energy shifts in the usual…
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in high energy nuclear collisions breaks down at transverse momenta $p_T \lesssim Q_s/g$ due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We find…
