The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest detector for the observation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We use a series of fluorescence telescopes and a particle array at the surface to obtain detailed measurements of the energy spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions of primary cosmic rays with energies above 10^17 eV with accuracy not attainable until now. ...

The LHCb collaboration has measured cross sections for production of two charmed-particles in pp collisions. These include opposite-sign and same-sign open-charm pair production where the former is dominantly produced in a single parton scattering (SPS) but the latter can be used to study double parton scattering (DPS). In this work we have set up a NLO pQCD framework to calculate double...

Measurements of electroweak bosons produced in Pb+Pb collisions as well as photon and jet production in small collision systems are of great interest to understanding the partonic structure of heavy nuclei, and serve as a constraint on the initial state in large collision systems. These channels are sensitive to a broad set of physics effects such as the modification of the parton densities in...

I present new theoretical results at approximate N$^3$LO for double-differential distributions in top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity. The higher-order corrections are from NNLL resummation of soft-gluon contributions. The corrections are very significant and they reduce theoretical uncertainties. The theoretical predictions are in very good agreement with recent LHC data.

Heavy quarkonium production provides valuable grounds to explore fundamental QCD dynamics with multiple scales.

Despite many theoretical efforts at NLO accuracy, however, there are still unresolved issues, including the lack of a full understanding of quarkonium polarization at high $p_t$. One...

The factorization of short-distance partonic cross sections from universal nonperturbatively-generated kinematic distributions is fundamental to phenomenology at hadron colliders. It has been predicted however that certain observables cannot be factorized in the usual way, even at high energies. Specifically, observables that are sensitive to momenta transverse to the direction of an energetic...

The confinement of quarks and gluons, the building blocks of all visible matter, is perhaps the ultimate example of quantum entanglement. Inside nucleons they are not just correlated, they do not even exist as isolated states. However, in the parton model formulated by Bjorken, Feynman, and Gribov, the partons are viewed by an external hard probe as independent when the nucleon is boosted to...
