We consider the Energy-Energy Correlation (EEC) in electron-positron
annihilation into hadrons at high energies, in the back-to-back (two-jet) region. We propose a simple formalism to consistently incorporate
heavy-quark mass effects in the QCD Sudakov form factor, which governs the resummation of large infrared logarithms. We also briefly discuss the extension of our results to the...
Bringing collider-based QCD observables to the observed astrophysical excess of antiprotons in cosmic rays appears to be a useful cross-disciplinary venture. Astrophysical observations require a precise calculation of the cross sections for direct proton-proton to antiproton production vs. indirect production (in which the protons first produce an antineutron that decays down to an antiproton...
In this talk I will review and discuss the main results obtained from our collaboration regarding the study and calculations of various parton distributions for light nuclei including 2H, 3H, 3H and 4He. In particular, I will review the evaluation of the nuclear EMC effect 3H, 3H and 4He where the nuclear structure functions incorporated in the EMC ratio have been calculated within the...
