We outline several directions for future investigations of the three-dimensional structure of nucleon, including multiparton correlations, color transparency, and branching processes at hadron colliders and at hadron factories. We also find evidence that pQCD regime for non-vacuum Regge trajectories sets in for $-tge 1 {GeV}^2$ leading to nearly t-independent trajectories.

High-energy collider physics in the next decade will be dominated by the LHC, whose high-luminosity incarnation will take Higgs measurements and new particle searches to the next level. Several high-energy e+ e- colliders are being proposed, including the ILC (the most mature), CLIC (the highest energy) and the large circular colliders FCC-ee and CEPC (the highest luminosities for ZH production, Z pole and W+ W- threshold studies), and the latter have synergies with the 100-TeV pp collider options for the same tunnels (FCC-hh and SppC). The Higgs, the Standard Model effective field theory, dark matter and supersymmetry will be used to illustrate some of these colliders capabilities. Large circular colliders appear the most versatile, able to explore the 10-TeV scale both directly in pp collisions and indirectly via precision measurements in e+ e- collisions.
We study the phenomenology of light scalars of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ coupling to heavy flavour-violating vector bosons of mass $m_V$. For $m_{1,2}lesssim $ few GeV, this scenario triggers the rare $B$ meson decays $B_s^0to 3mu^+ 3mu^-$, $B^0to 3mu^+ 3mu^-$, $B^+to K^+ 3mu^+ 3mu^-$ and $B_s^0to K^{0*} 3mu^+ 3mu^-$; the last two being the most important ones for $m_1sim m_2$. None of these signals has been studied experimentally; therefore we propose analyses to test these channels at the LHCb. We demonstrate that the reach of this facility extends to branching ratios as small as $6.0times 10^{-9}$, $1.6times 10^{-9}$, $5.9times 10^{-9}$ and $1.8times 10^{-8}$ for the aforementioned channels, respectively. For $m_{1,2}gg mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV, we show that slightly modifi
The operation of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) with heavy ions would provide Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN}= 39 and 63 TeV, respectively, per nucleon-nucleon collision, with projected per-month integrated luminosities of up to 110/nb and 29/pb, respectively. This document outlines the unique and broad physics opportunities with heavy ions at the energy frontier opened by FCC.
In hadronic collisions at high energies, the top-quark may be treated as a parton inside a hadron. Top-quark initiated processes become increasingly important since the top-quark luminosity can reach a few percent of the bottom-quark luminosity. In the production of a heavy particle $H$ with mass $m_H > m_t$, treating the top-quark as a parton allows us to resum large logarithms $log(m_{H}^{2}/m_{t}^{2}$) arising from collinear splitting in the initial state. We quantify the effect of collinear resummation at the 14-TeV LHC and a future 100-TeV hadron collider, focusing on the top-quark open-flavor process $ggto tbar t H$ in comparison with $tbar t to H$ and $tgrightarrow tH$ at the leading order (LO) in QCD. We employ top-quark parton distribution functions with appropriate collinear subtraction and power counting. We find that (1) Collinear resummation enhances the inclusive production of a heavy particle with $m_Happrox$ 5 TeV (0.5 TeV) by more than a factor of two compared to the open-flavor process at a 100-TeV (14-TeV) collider; (2) Top-quark mass effects are important for scales $m_H$ near the top-quark threshold, where the cross section is largest. We advocate a modification of the ACOT factorization scheme, dubbed m-ACOT, to consistently treat heavy-quark masses in hadronic collisions; (3) The scale uncertainty of the total cross section in m-ACOT is of about 20 percent at the LO. While a higher-order calculation is indispensable for a precise prediction, the LO cross section is well described by the process $tbar tto H$ using an effective factorization scale significantly lower than $m_H$. We illustrate our results by the example of a heavy spin-0 particle. Our main results also apply to the production of particles with spin-1 and 2.
We propose to study at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the inclusive production of a pair of hadrons (a di-hadron system) in a kinematics where two detected hadrons with high transverse momenta are separated by a large interval of rapidity. This process has much in common with the widely discussed Mueller-Navelet jet production and can also be used to access the dynamics of hard proton-parton interactions in the Regge limit. For both processes large contributions enhanced by logarithms of energy can be resummed in perturbation theory within the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) formalism with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (NLA). The experimental study of di-hadron production would provide with an additional clear channel to test the BFKL dynamics. We present here the first theoretical predictions for cross sections and azimuthal angle correlations of the di-hadrons produced with LHC kinematics.
