Historical and futuristic perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QCD jet physics
A brief review of jet physics is presented with an emphasis upon open
theoretical problems (non-perturbative domain; hadronization and confinement)
and new phenomena (hadroproduction in heavy ion collisions).Comment: Invited talk at the XXXIV International Symposium on Multiparticle

QCD and Hadron Dynamics
Perturbative QCD predicts and describes various features of multihadron
production. An amazing similarity between observable hadron systems and
calculable underlying parton ensembles justifies the attempts to use the
language of quarks and gluons down to small momentum scales, to approach the
profound problems that are commonly viewed as being entirely non-perturbative.Comment: Talk at the Royal Society meeting "Structure of Matter", London, May

On large angle multiple gluon radiation
Jet shape observables which involve measurements restricted to a part of
phase space are sensitive to multiplication of soft gluon with large relative
angles and give rise to specific single logarithmically enhanced (SL) terms
(non-global logs). We consider associated distributions in two variables which
combine measurement of a jet shape V in the whole phase space (global) and that
of the transverse energy flow away from the jet direction, Eout (non-global).
We show that associated distributions factorize into the global distribution in
V and a factor that takes into account SL contributions from multi-gluon
``hedgehog'' configurations in all orders. The latter is the same that
describes the single-variable Eout distribution, but evaluated at a rescaled
energy VQ.Comment: 16 page
The internal structure of jets at colliders: light and heavy quark inclusive hadronic distributions
In this paper, we report our results on charged hadron multiplicities of
heavy quark initiated jets produced in high energy collisions. After
implementing the so-called dead cone effect in QCD evolution equations, we find
that the average multiplicity decreases significantly as compared to the
massless case. Finally, we discuss on the transverse momentum distribution of
light quark initiated jets and emphasize on the comparison between our
predictions and CDF data.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures-Talk presented by Redamy Perez-Ramos at Jets in

Status of hard/perturbative QCD phenomena is briefly reviewed.
Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect is discussed as a means for establishing links
between particle and nuclear high-energy physics.Comment: 13 pages, 4 Postscript figures, uses espcrc1.st
Diffractive Processes at the LHC
We consider diffractive processes which can be measured at the LHC. Analysis
of diffractive events will give unique information about the high energy
asymptotics of hadron scattering. In semihard diffraction one may study the
partonic structure of the Pomeron. Central Exclusive Diffractive production
provides a possibility to investigate the new particles (Higgs bosons, SUSY
particles,...) in an exceptionally clean environment.Comment: 12 pages, To be published in the Proc. of the Gribov-75 Memorial

R-Current DIS on a Shock Wave: Beyond the Eikonal Approximation
We find the DIS structure functions at strong coupling by calculating
R-current correlators on a finite-size shock wave using AdS/CFT correspondence.
We improve on the existing results in the literature by going beyond the
eikonal approximation for the two lowest orders in graviton exchanges. We argue
that since the eikonal approximation at strong coupling resums integer powers
of 1/x (with x the Bjorken-x variable), the non-eikonal corrections bringing in
positive integer powers of x can not be neglected in the small-x limit, as the
non-eikonal order-x correction to the (n+1)st term in the eikonal series is of
the same order in x as the nth eikonal term in that series. We demonstrate
that, in qualitative agreement with the earlier DIS analysis based on
calculation of the expectation value of the Wilson loop in the shock wave
background using AdS/CFT, after inclusion of non-eikonal corrections DIS
structure functions are described by two momentum scales: Q_1^2 ~ \Lambda^2 \,
A^{1/3}/x and Q_2^2 ~ \Lambda^2 \, A^{2/3}, where \Lambda is the typical
transverse momentum in the shock wave and A is the atomic number if the shock
wave represents a nucleus. We discuss possible physical meanings of the scales
Q_1 and Q_2.Comment: 44 pages, 3 figures; v2: typos corrected, refs added, discussion

Ioffe Time in Double Logarithmic Approximation
We analyze the light cone (Ioffe) time structure of the gluon distribution
function in the double logarithmic approximation. We show that due to QCD
evolution Ioffe equation is modified. The characteristic light cone time of the
gluons does not increase as fast with increasing energy (decreasing Bjorken x)
as predicted by the parton distributions exhibiting Bjorken scaling due to the
increase of the transverse momenta of the gluons in the DGLAP ladder.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
