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.

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.

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.

Screening of multi-instanton corrections to anomalous processes in the standard model
Abstract We calculate the multi-instanton contribution to the logarithm of the cross-section for (B+L)-violating (anomalous) high-energy collisions in the next-to-leading order (in terms of ( E M sp ) 2 3 ) approximation. It is demonstrated that in this approximation there is no sign of “premature unitarization” of anomalous processes, i.e. there is no indication that multi-instanton contributions become of the same magnitude as the single-instanton contribution at energies where the single-instanton result is still exponentially suppressed.

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.

A two-instanton test of the exact solution of N = 2 supersymmetric QCD
Abstract The exact solution of N = 2 supersymmetric QCD found by Seiberg and Witten includes a prediction for all multi-instanton contributions to the low-energy dynamics. In the case where the matter hypermultiplets are massless, the leading non-perturbative contribution at weak coupling comes from the two-instanton sector. We calculate this contribution from first principles using the exact two-instanton solution of the self-dual Yang-Mills equation found by Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin. We find exact agreement with the predictions of Seiberg and Witten for all numbers of flavours. We also confirm their predictions for the case of massive hypermultiplets.

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.
