Abstract This White Paper presents an overview of the current status and future perspective
of QCD research, based on the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the 2022 …

A bstract Exclusive production of transversely polarized heavy vector mesons in deep
inelastic scattering at high energy is calculated at next-to-leading order accuracy in the …

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons
collectively called partons, the basic constituents of all nuclear matter. Its non-abelian …

We present the first next-to-leading-order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) study of rapidity-
differential cross sections of coherent exclusive photoproduction of J/ψ mesons in heavy-ion …

The goal of this whitepaper is to give a comprehensive overview of the rich field of forward
physics. We discuss the occurrences of BFKL resummation effects in special final states …

We show that when saturation effects are included one obtains a good description of the
exclusive J/ψ production spectra in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions as recently …

Using Bayesian inference, we determine probabilistic constraints on the parameters
describing the fluctuating structure of protons at high energy. We employ the color glass …
