Longitudinally Polarized Photoproduction of Inclusive Hadrons Beyond the Leading Order
We present a complete next-to-leading order QCD calculation for
single-inclusive large-pT hadron production in longitudinally polarized
lepton-nucleon collisions, consistently including ``direct'' and ``resolved''
photon contributions. This process could be studied experimentally at a future
polarized lepton-proton collider like eRHIC at BNL. We examine the sensitivity
of such measurements to the so far completely unknown parton content of
circularly polarized photons.Comment: 15 pages, 7 eps figure
Heavy Quark Initiated Contributions to Deep Inelastic Structure Functions
We present O(alpha_s^1) corrections to deep inelastic scattering amplitudes
on massive quarks obtained within the scheme of Aivazis, Collins, Olness and
Tung (ACOT). After identifying the correct subtraction term the convergence of
these contributions towards the analogous coefficient functions for massless
quarks, obtained within the modified minimal subtraction scheme (MSbar), is
demonstrated. Furthermore, the quantitative relevance of the contributions to
neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC) structure functions is
investigated for several choices of the factorization scale.Comment: 29 pages, 6 figures; uses epsfig.sty, amssymb.sty, axodraw.sty; minor

Polarized Parton Densities
In this talk we summarize main results of a recent determination of the
polarized deeply inelastic parton distributions to NLO from the world data. In
the analysis the LO and NLO parton densities and their statistical
errors were derived and parameterized. The strong coupling constant
is determined Comparisons of the
low moments of the parton densities with recent lattice results are given. A
detailed error-analysis of the gluon density is performed.Comment: 3 pages LATEX, 1 style file, 1 eps file, to appear in the Proceedings

Deep Inelastic e-gamma Scattering at High Q2
The electromagnetic and weak structure functions of the photon can be studied
in the deep inelastic electron-photon processes e+gamma -> e+X and e+gamma ->
nu+X. While at low energies only virtual photon exchange is operative in the
neutral-current process, additional Z-exchange becomes relevant for high Q2 of
order MZ^2 at e+e- linear colliders. Likewise the charged-current process can
be observed at these high energy colliders. By measuring the electroweak
neutral- and charged-current structure functions, the up- and down-type quark
content of the photon can be determined separately.Comment: 8 pages, 5 eps-figures included. The complete paper is also available

Damped Bloch oscillations of cold atoms in optical lattices
The paper studies Bloch oscillations of cold neutral atoms in the optical
lattice. The effect of spontaneous emission on the dynamics of the system is
analyzed both analytically and numerically. The spontaneous emission is shown
to cause (i) the decay of Bloch oscillations with the decrement given by the
rate of spontaneous emission and (ii) the diffusive spreading of the atoms with
a diffusion coefficient depending on {\em both} the rate of spontaneous
emission and the Bloch frequency.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Gluon distributions in nucleons and pions at a low resolution scale
In this paper we study the gluon distribution functions in nucleons and pions
at a low resolution scale. This is an important issue since parton
densities at low have always been taken as an external input which is
adjusted through DGLAP evolution to fit the experimental data at higher scales.
Here, in the framework of a model recently developed, it is shown that the
hypothetical cloud of {\it neutral} pions surrounding nucleons and pions
appears to be responsible for the characteristic valence-like gluon
distributions needed at the inital low scale. As an additional result, we get
the remarkable prediction that neutral and charged pions have different
intrinsic sea flavor contents.Comment: final version to appear in Phys. Rev. D. Discussion on several points

Dynamical parton distributions of the nucleon and very small-x physics
Utilizing recent DIS measurements (F_{2,L}) and data on dilepton and
high-E_{T} jet production we determine the dynamical parton distributions of
the nucleon generated radiatively from valence-like positive input
distributions at optimally chosen low resolution scales. These are compared
with `standard' distributions generated from positive input distributions at
some fixed and higher resolution scale. It is shown that up to the next to
leading order NLO(\bar{MS}, DIS) of perturbative QCD considered in this paper,
the uncertainties of the dynamical distributions are, as expected, smaller than
those of their standard counterparts. This holds true in particular in the
presently unexplored extremely small-x region relevant for evaluating ultrahigh
energy cross sections in astrophysical applications. It is noted that our new
dynamical distributions are compatible, within the presently determined
uncertainties, with previously determined dynamical parton distributions.Comment: 21 pages, 2 tables, 16 figures, v2: added Ref.[60], replaced Fig.
Complete Next to Leading Order QCD Corrections to the Photon Structure Functions and
We present the complete NLO QCD analysis of the photon structure functions
and for a real photon target. In
particular we study the heavy flavor content of the structure functions which
is due to two different production mechanisms, namely collisions of a virtual
photon with a real photon, and with a parton. We observe that the charm
contributions are noticeable for as well as
in the x-region studied.Comment: Latex 34 pages, 24 figures, uuencoded, attached at end, ITP-SB-93-46,

QCD Corrections to Dilepton Production near Partonic Threshold in proton-antiproton Scattering
We present a recent study of the QCD corrections to dilepton production near
partonic threshold in transversely polarized \bar{p}p scattering. We analyze
the role of the higher-order perturbative QCD corrections in terms of the
available fixed-order contributions as well as of all-order soft-gluon
resummations for the kinematical regime of proposed experiments at GSI-FAIR. We
find that perturbative corrections are large for both unpolarized and polarized
cross sections, but that the spin asymmetries are stable. The role of the far
infrared region of the momentum integral in the resummed exponent and the
effect of the NNLL resummation are briefly discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the "7th
