Rescattering effects in hadron-nucleus and heavy-ion collisions
We review the extension of the factorization formalism of perturbative QCD to
{\it coherent} soft rescattering associated with hard scattering in high energy
nuclear collisions. We emphasize the ability to quantify high order corrections
and the predictive power of factorization approach in terms of universal
nonperturbative matrix elements. Although coherent rescattering effects are
power suppressed by hard scales of the scattering, they are enhanced by the
nuclear size and could play an important role in understanding the novel
nuclear dependence observed in high energy nuclear collisions.Comment: 8 pages, 13 figures, to be published in the Proceedings of 1st

Nuclear enhanced power corrections to DIS structure functions
We calculate nuclear enhanced power corrections to structure functions
measured in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering in Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD). We find that the nuclear medium enhanced power
corrections at order of enhance the longitudinal structure
function , and suppress the transverse structure function . We
demonstrate that strong nuclear effects in and ,
recently observed by HERMES Collaboration, can be explained in terms of the
nuclear enhanced power corrections.Comment: Latex, 10 pages including 3 figure
Breakdown of Conventional Factorization for Isolated Photon Cross Sections
Using as an example, we show that the
conventional factorization theorem in perturbative quantum chromodynamics
breaks down for isolated photon cross sections in a well defined part of phase
space. Implications and physical consequences are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex, 1 figure in postscrip
