Radiative corrections to the hadronic cross-section measurement at DA$\Phi$NE
Abstract. The hadronic invariant mass distribution for the process of electron–positron annihilation into a pair of charged pions accompanied by a photon radiated from the initial state has been studied for the region of DA$\Phi$NE energies. The Born cross–section and the electromagnetic radiative corrections to it are calculated for realistic conditions of the KLOE detector. The dependence on the physical parameters which define the event selection is obtained.

QCD Interconnection Effects
Heavy objects like the W, Z and t are short-lived compared with typical hadronization times. When pairs of such particles are produced, the subsequent hadronic decay systems may therefore become interconnected. We study such potential effects at Linear Collider energies.

On the sensitivity of the inclusive distributions in parton jets to the coherence effects in QCD gluon cascades
The KNO multiplicity distributions and properties of two-particle correlations in QCD jets are considered in the framework of the perturbative approach accounting for effects of the coherence in the soft gluon bremsstrahlung.

Pomeron universality from identical pion correlations at the LHC
Abstract Bose–Einstein correlations of identical pions produced in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC allow a probe of the Pomeron exchange mechanism. The size of the domain which emits the pions depends on the multiplicity of events, but not on the collider energy. This confirms the universal structure of Pomeron exchange. The data at relatively low multiplicities indicate that the size of the source created by one-Pomeron exchange is much less than the size of the proton.

Instanton vacuum in thermal QCD
The effects of instanton-anti-instanton interactions in high-temperature QCD with colour SU(2) are studied with and without quarks. The instanton potential proves to have no repulsive core, thus creating troubles with the definition of nonperturbative contributions to physical quantities. Also the chiral condensate is calculated, and it is shown to vanish if number of quark flavoursNf≧2, whereas forNf=1 it is nonzero for the arbitrary high temperature.

Tree amplitudes in gauge theory as scalar MHV diagrams
It was proposed in [2] that all tree amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills theory can be constructed from known MHV amplitudes. We apply this approach for calculating tree amplitudes of gauge fields and fermions and find agreement with known results. The formalism amounts to an effective scalar perturbation theory which offers a much simpler alternative to the usual Feynman diagrams in gauge theory and can be used for deriving new simple expressions for tree amplitudes. At tree level the formalism works in a generic gauge theory, with or without supersymmetry, and for a finite number of colours.

Collinear limits in QCD from MHV rules
We consider multi-parton collinear limits of QCD amplitudes at tree level. Using the MHV formalism we specify the underlying analytic structure of the resulting multi-collinear splitting functions. We derive general results for these splitting functions that are valid for specific numbers of negative helicity partons and an arbitrary number of positive helicity partons (or vice versa).

On mass-deformed N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
Abstract We construct the n-instanton action for the above model with gauge group SU(2), as a function of the collective coordinates of the general self-dual configurations of Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin (ADHM). We calculate the quantum modulus u = 〈 Tr A 2 〉 at the 1-instanton level, and find a discrepancy with Seiberg and Witten's proposed exact solution. As in related models (N = 2, NF = 3 or 4), this discrepancy may be resolved by modifying their proposed relation between ũ (the parameter in the elliptic curve) and u.

Higher twist effects in the Drell‐Yan process
We calculate the angular distribution of the lepton produced in the Drell‐Yan reaction taking into account pion bound state effects. We work in the kinematic region where one of the pion constituents goes far off shell, which allows us to treat the bound state problem pertubatively. We show that the angular distribution is very sensitive to the shape of the pion distribution amplitude. The model we discuss fits the data if we choose a two‐humped pion distribution amplitude suggested by QCD sum rules.
