We investigate possible search strategies for QCD-instanton induced processes at HERA in the deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) regime. Our study is based on the Monte Carlo generator QCDINS for instanton-induced events and the standard…
A search for QCD instanton (I) induced events in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA is presented in the kinematic range of low x and low Q^2. After cutting into three characteristic variables for I-induced events yielding a maximum…
We present a fast and transparent multi-variate event classification technique, called PDE-RS, which is based on sampling the signal and background densities in a multi-dimensional phase space using range-searching. The employed algorithm…
The present status of our ongoing systematic study of the discovery potential of QCD-instanton induced events in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA is briefly reviewed. We emphasize our recent progress in predicting the cross-sections of…

Preliminary H1 results on dedicated searches for QCD instanton induced processes in DIS are presented. The investigations are based on the expected characteristics of their hadronic final state. Searches were performed in the kinematical…
After a brief introduction into the phenomenology of instantons, results from instanton perturbation theory applied to deep-inelastic electron proton scattering are summarized. Based on event signatures derived from Monte Carlo studies,…
In view of the new (preliminary) search results for instanton-induced events at HERA from the H1 collaboration, we present a brief discussion of (controllable) theoretical uncertainties, both in the event topology and the calculated rate.

In a first part, I review our detailed investigation of the prospects to discover deep-inelastic processes induced by small QCD-instantons at HERA. This includes the essence of our calculations based on instanton-perturbation theory,…
A ``fiducial'' kinematical region for our calculations of instanton (I)-induced processes at HERA within I-perturbation theory is extracted from recent lattice simulations of QCD. Moreover, we present the finalized I-induced cross-sections…
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the existence of quantum tunnelling processes across topological inequivalent vacua, known as Instantons. In the electroweak sector, instantons provide a source of baryon asymmetry within the…

Stack-based high dynamic range (HDR) imaging is a technique for achieving a larger dynamic range in an image by combining several low dynamic range images acquired at different exposures. Minimizing the set of images to combine, while…
We outline a strategy of how to search for QCD instantons of invariant mass 20 -- 60 GeV in diffractive events in low luminosity runs at the LHC. We show that by imposing appropriate selection criteria on the final states, one can select…
We extend the worldline instanton technique to compute the vacuum pair production rate for spatially inhomogeneous electric background fields, with the spatial inhomogeneity being genuinely two or three dimensional, both for the magnitude…
