At the operator level these correlators include both field strength operators and gauge links bridging the nonlocality. In contrast to the collinear PDFs, the gauge links are no longer unique for transverse momentum dependent PDFs (TMDs) and also Wilson...

Assuming the form $\sigma^{\gamma P} \propto l^{\lambda_{\rm eff}}$ at fixed $Q^2$ for the behavior of the virtual-photon proton scattering cross section, where $l$ is the coherence length of the photon fluctuations, it is seen that the extrapolated values of $\sigma^{\gamma P}$ for different $Q^2$ cross for $l\approx 10^8$~fm. It is argued that this behavior is not physical, and that the...

To optimise its physics output CLIC is foreseen to be built and operated in several energy stages, ranging from ~350 GeV to 3 TeV centre-of mass energy.

Specifically, we address the "direct" part of the cross section, for which the photon interacts in a pointlike way. For this contribution we perform an all-order resummation of logarithmic threshold...

J/Psi mesons are copiously produced at the LHC. Inspired by the Mueller Navelet jet studies, we propose to consider the production of a forward J/Psi accompanied by a backward jet. We make a feasibility study for this process and we compute the leading order differential cross section for such events in the BFKL framework.

QCD and Hadronic Final States
The production of weak gauge bosons in association with heavy flavored mesons at the LHCb conditions is considered, and a detailed study of the different contributing processes is presented including single and double parton scattering mechanisms. We conclude finally, that double parton scattering dominates the production of same-sign WD states, as well as the production of W- bosons...

Small-x, Diffraction and Vector Mesons
Pseudorapidity and transverse momentum distributions of charged-particles produced in pp collisions at 13 TeV will be presented for different event categories: an inclusive, inelastic enhanced, SD enhanced and NSD enhanced event samples. The measurements are compared to MC predictions tuned to describe the Underlying Event properties at 7 TeV.

Structure Functions and Parton Densities
Charm quark distribution function play an important role in study of many presses. In the standard global analysis of parton distribution functions, charm quark distribution arises perturbatively by gluon splitting. Nonetheless, existence of a non-perturbative intrinsic charm quark component in the nucleon is predicted by QCD. We present some phenomenological light cone models for...

Heavy Flavours (Charm, Beauty and Top)
We study the reaction e+ e− -> gamma_ISR J/psi, where J/psi -> pi+ pi- pi0, and J/psi -> K+ K- pi0, using events obtained from the Initial State Radiation process. We measure the relative J/psi branching fraction and perform a Dalitz plot analysis of both J/psi decay modes using an isobar and a Veneziano model.
We present also an analysis of the process gamma gamma -> K anti-K pi. We...

The CBM experiment will investigate highly compressed baryonic matter
created in A+A collisions at the new FAIR accelerator. With a beam energy
range up to 11 AGeV for the heaviest nuclei at the SIS 100 accelerator, CBM
will investigate the QCD phase diagram in the intermediate range, i.e. at
moderate temperatures but high net-baryon densities. This research program
is thus complementary...

QCD and Hadronic Final States
We use a sample of diphoton + dijet events collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider to measure the effective cross section of double parton interactions in proton-antiproton collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. We also study the simultaneous production of two heavy quarkonia (two J/ψ or J/ψ and Υ) to extract the effective cross section of double parton interactions. We...

Small-x, Diffraction and Vector Mesons
The successful combined data taking of the CMS and TOTEM experiments allows to characterize hadronic final states of an extremely wide pseudo-rapidity range. The measurement of the charged particles distributions over |eta<6.6| is a very important example that puts strong constraints on interaction models.

Structure Functions and Parton Densities
We investigate the stability of the saturation regime of the
Gribov-Levin-Ryskin equation against azimuthal perturbations, and argue
that the appearance of unstable modes could lead to the "spontaneus
symmetry breaking" of azimuthal symmetry in high energy pp and AA
collisions. We discuss the phenomenology of this hypothesis in light of
the "harmonic flow" observable seen in heavy ion collisions.

Future Experiments
In this talk, the status of the design of a detector for studying energy-frontier DIS at the LHeC and the FCC-he will be presented. Its different parts will be discussed: interaction region, tracking, EM calorimeter, solenoid, hadronic calorimeter and muon detector. Besides, the software framework that is currently employed, developed within DD4HEP, will also be presented.

Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
The presence of fermionic top/bottom quark partners, referred to as
vector-like quarks (VLQs), may be an important ingredient for mechanism to cancel mass divergence for the Higgs boson required for “natural” theories beyond the Standard Model (SM). The VLQs typically couple preferentially to the third generation SM quarks. In addition, there are many extensions of the SM that predict new...
