This paper presents an extension of the MK single pion production model \cite{MK, MK2} to high hadron invariant mass ($W$) and high momentum transfer to conform to the predictions of perturbative QCD due to quark-hadron duality. New form…
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured $\phi$ meson production and its nuclear modification in asymmetric Cu$+$Au heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV at both forward Cu-going direction…
A unified description of spacelike and timelike hadron form factors within a light-front model was successfully applied to the pion. The model is extended to the nucleon to study the role of $q \bar q$ pair production and of nonvalence…
Measurements of the production cross section of beauty hadrons in proton-proton (pp) collisions provide excellent tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) calculations. Theoretical approaches based on the factorisation theorem…
The very large K-factor for Higgs-boson production at hadron colliders is shown to result from enhanced perturbative corrections of the form (C_A\pi\alpha_s)^n, which arise in the analytic continuation of the gluon form factor to time-like…
We perform the first next-to-leading order computation of the $\gamma^{(*)} \to V$ ($\rho, \phi, \omega$) impact factor in the QCD shockwave approach and in the most general kinematics. This paves the way to the very first quantitative…
Over the last decade there has been significant progress in developing the concepts and technologies needed to produce, capture and accelerate O(1021) muons/year. This development prepares the way for a new type of neutrino source (Neutrino…
Based on dispersion theory, we present a formalism for a model-independent evaluation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In particular, we comment on the definition of the pion pole in…
Using an isobar model which can reproduce the existing experimental data of kaon photoproduction on the nucleon we investigate some related phenomenological aspects, i.e. the hadronic form factors, contributions of kaon-hyperon final states…
Yields, rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of $\Delta^{++}(1232)$, $\Lambda(1520)$, $\Sigma^\pm(1385)$ and the meson resonances $K^0(892)$, $\Phi$, $\rho^0$ and $f_0(980)$ are predicted. Hadronic rescattering leads to a suppression of…
Measurements and theoretical calculations of meson form factors are essential for our understanding of internal hadron structure and QCD, the dynamics that bind the quarks in hadrons. The pion electromagnetic form factor has been measured…
Some form factors of ground-state hadrons with spin might show a zero crossing at spacelike momenta of electron-hadron scattering. In the timelike region of hadron-antihadron production by electron-positron collisions the form factors…
Exclusive diffractive meson production represents a golden channel for investigating gluonic saturation inside nucleons and nuclei. In this letter, we settle a systematic framework to deal with beyond leading power corrections at small-$x$,…
We discuss the relevance of a dedicated measurement of exclusive production of a pair of neutral pions in a hard gamma* gamma scattering at small momentum transfer. In this case, the virtuality of one photon provides us with a hard scale in…
A Neutrino Factory, sending $>10^{20}$ decay neutrinos per year from a high-energy stored muon beam towards remote detectors, has been suggested as the ultimate tool for precision measurement of the neutrino mixing matrix. Following two…
A new formula for the pion form factor F_pi is proposed which takes into account the pseudoscalar meson loops and the mixing among rho(770), rho(1450), and rho(1700). The expression possesses correct analytical properties and can be used in…
The HERA collider experiments H1 and ZEUS have established extensive measurement programs for diffractive vector-meson production processes during the first six years of their operation. The results provide stringent phenomenological tests…
Expressions for Sudakov form factors for heavy quarks are presented. They are used to construct resummed jet rates in electron-positron annihilation. Predictions are given for production of bottom quarks at LEP and top quarks at the Linear…
The theoretical and experimental aspects of particle production from the strong equivalent photon fluxes present at high energy hadron colliders are reviewed. The goal is to show how photons at hadron colliders can improve what we have…
Hadronic resonances are used to probe the hadron gas produced in the late stage of heavy-ion collisions since they decay on the same timescale, of the order of 1 to 10 fm/$c$, as the decoupling time of the system. In the hadron gas,…
