Some of the most difficult theoretical challenges of QCD occur at the interface of the perturbative and nonperturbative regimes. Exclusive and semi-exclusive processes, the diffractive dissociation of hadrons into jets, and hard diffractive…
The diffractive dissociation of a hadron at high energies, by either Coulomb or Pomeron exchange, has a natural description in QCD as the materialization of the projectile's light-cone wavefunctions; in particular, the diffractive…
Hard hadronic exclusive processes are now at the forefront of QCD studies, particularly because of their role in the interpretation of exclusive hadronic B decays. Perturbative QCD and its factorization properties at high momentum transfer…
We define and study hard ``semi-exclusive'' processes of the form $A+B \to C + Y$ which are characterized by a large momentum transfer between the particles $A$ and $C$ and a large rapidity gap between the final state particle $C$ and the…
Hard semiexclusive processes provide an opportunity to design effective currents to probe specific parton distributions and to probe in leading order parton distributions that fully inclusive reactions probe only via higher order…
We review recent developments in QCD pertaining to its application to weak decays of heavy hadrons. We concentrate on exclusive rare and nonleptonic B-meson decays, discussing both the theoretical framework and phenomenological issues of…
Off-diagonal parton distributions occur in several hard exclusive reactions. They extend the study of hadron structure beyond what can be learned from ordinary distributions and have a particularly rich spin structure. The hard scattering…
Instrumenting the LHC to measure the outgoing protons in the process pp -> p+X+p opens up new possibilities for physics studies in the Standard Model and beyond. In this talk I first present an overview of the underlying QCD calculation and…
We present an analysis of twist-2, leading order QCD amplitudes for hard exclusive leptoproduction of charged vector mesons. These processes are determined by nonforward parton distribution functions which are nondiagonal in quark flavor.…
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…
I discuss the theoretical status of the `soft' pomeron and its place in describing generic diffractive processes. The role of perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections is considered, in particular in the context of quasi-elastic vector meson…
The governing role of light-cone dynamics in inclusive heavy hadron decay processes is demonstrated. Nonperturbative QCD effects on the processes can be systematically calculated using light-cone expansion and heavy quark effective theory.…
The next generation of $e^+e^-$ colliders will offer a possibility of clean testing of QCD dynamics. Recent progress in the theoretical description of exclusive processes permits for many of them a consistent use of the perturbative QCD…
We present a study of heavy quarkonium production in hard diffractive process by the Pomeron exchange for Tevatron and LHC energies. The numerical results are computed using recent experimental determination of the diffractive parton…
We consider the reaction $\gamma p \to M p$, with M being either a $\Phi$ or a $J/\Psi$ meson, within perturbative QCD treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. The phenomenological couplings of gauge bosons to (spatially extended)…
At the energies of present and future electron accelerators designed to study the structure of hadrons, there is a regime where hard pion electroproduction proceeds by a perturbatively calculable process in QCD. The process is not 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…
Hard diffractive photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons ($J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$) is evaluated within the leading $\alpha_s\ln{Q^2 \over\Lambda_{QCD}^2}$ approximation of QCD. In difference from our earlier work on that…
The processes of a light neutral vector meson, V=\rho^0, \omega, \phi, electroproduction and a heavy quarkonium, V=J/\Psi, \Upsilon, photoproduction are studied in the framework of QCD factorization. We derive a complete set of…
We discuss diffractive photon-production of vector mesons in holographic QCD. At large $\sqrt{s}$, the QCD scattering amplitudes are reduced to the scattering of pair of dipoles exchanging a closed string or a pomeron. We use the…
