The tensor-pomeron model is applied to low-x deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and photoproduction. We consider c. m. energies in the range 6 - 318 GeV and $Q^2 < 50$ GeV$^2$. In addition to the soft tensor pomeron, which has proven quite successful for the description of soft hadronic high-energy reactions, we include a hard tensor pomeron. We also include $f_2$-reggeon exchange which...

Semi-hard processes serve as a special testing ground for calculations of high-energy scatterings in perturbative QCD. In this kinematic limit, the enhanced effect of energy logarithms calls for an all-order resummation procedure. The most natural language to resum these large logarithms, both in the leading and the next-to-leading approximation, is elegantly embodied by the BFKL approach....

The knowledge of the proton parton densities for large $x$ is very important in the search for new physics signals at the LHC. For Bjorken-$x$ larger than 0.6 they are however poorly constrained by the data used in extracting the proton parton density functions (PDFs) and different pdf sets have large uncertainties, and differ considerably, in this regime. We compare the pdf sets most widely...

The detailed understanding of the orbital structure of partonic distributions, encoded in partonic Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs), has been widely recognized as one of the key objectives of the JLab 12 GeV upgrade, and a driving force behind the construction of the Electron Ion Collider.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been successfully delivering proton-proton collision data at the unprecedented center of mass energy of 13 TeV. An upgrade is planned to increase the instantaneous luminosity delivered by LHC in what is called HL-LHC, aiming to deliver a total of about 3000/fb of data to the ATLAS detector. To cope with the expected data-taking conditions ATLAS is planning...

The recent intriguing hints for new physics in semi-leptonic B decays point towards lepton flavor universality (LFU) violating extensions of the SM. Prime candidates for such new particles are leptoquarks which can provide the desired effects. After a review of the current experimental and theoretical situation, the phenomenology of the vector leptoquark SU(1) singlet, which was proposed...

The new tunes are obtained using minimum bias and underlying event observables exploiting Monte Carlo configurations with consistent parton distribution functions and strong coupling constant values in the matrix element and the parton shower, at leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO).

Using the formalism of the light-cone wave function in perturbative QCD together with the hybrid factorization, we compute the cross-section for three (and two) particle production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions. We focus on the quark channel, in which the three produced partons -- a quark accompanied by a gluon pair, or two quarks plus one antiquark -- are all generated...

The type II seesaw mechanism is an attractive way to generate the observed light neutrino masses. It postulates a SU(2)$_\mathrm{L}$-triplet scalar field, which develops an induced vacuum expectation value after electroweak symmetry breaking, giving masses to the neutrinos via its couplings to the lepton SU(2)$_\mathrm{L}$-doublets. When the components of the triplet field have masses around...

We consider the non-eikonal corrections to particle production in the Color Glass Condensate originating from relaxing the shockwave approximation for the target which takes into account its finite longitudinal thickness. We derive a modified expression of the Lipatov vertex that accounts for these corrections. This expression is employed to compute single, double and triple gluon production...

In quantum mechanics, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) formulated an apparent paradox of quantum theory in 1935. They considered two quantum mechanical systems were first brought to interaction, then later separated to large distance. A measurement of a physical observable in one system would have an immediate effect on the conjugate observable in the other system, even when they are...

The concept of lepton universality, where the muon and tau particles are simply heavier copies of the electron, is a key prediction in the Standard Model (SM). In models beyond the SM, lepton universality can be naturally violated with new physics particles that couple preferentially to the second and third generation leptons. Over the last few years, several hints of lepton universality...

Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are unique probes for studies of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy Pb--Pb collisions, since they are almost exclusively produced in hard scattering processes in the initial stages of the collision and thus experience the full evolution of the QGP.
