Colour Dipole Picture for Deep Inelastic Scattering in the Collinear Factorization Scheme
The colour dipole picture for deep inelastic scattering processes is generalized in the collinear factorization scheme. We show that a duality between the colour dipole picture and scattering picture is lost in higher twist amplitudes.

Bag skin effect for Friedberg-Lee model
Importance of the bag skin effect to determine the parameters of the Friedberg-Lee model is pointed out. The European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect regarded as a bag skin effect can be used to determine the parameters of this model.

A twist-4 effect in the parton evolution processes
Recently, a research group reported that they can fit the F2 data well by using the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation with a valence-like initial gluon distribution, which means that we need not consider the high twist effects in the proton. In this letter, we point out that their valence-like initial gluon distribution is unreasonable for the proton structure function. With the reasonable initial distributions, we find that the high twist corrections to the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation is necessary.

Nuclear Shadowing and Antishadowing in a Unitarized BFKL Equation
The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation. The Q2and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution. In particular, the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a free proton.

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons
The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.

Partonic Structure of the Pomeron in the Modified GLR Equation
The gluon recombination effect in the pomeron is studied by using the modified Gribov–Levin–Ryskin evolution equation. We find that the measured parton distributions in the pomeron can be generated dynamically from a purely gluonic input on assuming a small size for the pomeron.

The Factorization in exclusive B decays: A Critical look
I review the theoretical ideas and concepts along the line of factorization in the exclusive B decays. In order to understand the naive factorization, the effective field theories and the perturbative method of QCD are introduced and developed. We focus our discussions on the large energy effective theory, the QCD factorization approach and the soft-collinear effective theory.

Phenomenological study of Sudakov effects in the pion form factor
The pion electromagnetic form factor with leading and next-to-leading twist corrections is studied in the framework of the pQCD approach. We find that the Sudakov effects provide a weak suppression of the nonperturbative contributions at the experimental accessible energy region. We also find a large twist-3 contribution. Our conclusion is that the prediction of the pion form factor in the pQCD approach is not precise.

A solution to Higgs naturalness
The Standard Model (SM) is usually considered to be unnatural because the scalar Higgs mass receives a quadratic divergent correction. We suggest a new way to solve the naturalness problem from point of view of renormalization group method. Our approach is illustrated through the familiar $\phi^4$ theory. A renormalization group equation for scalar field mass is proposed by introducing a subtraction scale. We give a non-trivial prediction: the Higss mass at short-distance is a damping exponential function of the energy scale. It follows from a characteristic of the SM that the couplings to Higgs are proportional to field masses, in particular the Higgs self-interactions. In the ultraviolent limit, the Higgs mass approaches to a mass called by Veltman mass which is at the order of the electroweak scale. The fine-tuning is not necessary. The Higgs naturalness problem is solved by radiative corrections themselves.

Factorization and polarization in two charmed-meson B decays
We provide a comprehensive test of factorization in the heavy–heavy B decays motivated by the recent experimental data from the BELLE and BABAR collaborations. The penguin effects are not negligible in the B decays with two pseudoscalar mesons. The direct CP asymmetries are found to be a few percent. We give estimates on the weak annihilation contributions by analogy to the observed annihilation-dominated processes. The Nc insensitivity of branching ratios indicates that the soft final state interactions are not dominant. We also study the polarizations in B→D*D(s)* decays. The power law shows that the transverse perpendicular polarization fraction is small. The effects of the heavy quark symmetry breaking caused by the perturbative QCD and power corrections on the transverse polarization are also investigated.

Sudakov form factor in effective field theory
We discuss the Sudakov form factor in the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory. The running of the short distance coefficient function from high to low scale gives the summation of Sudakov logarithms to all orders. Our discussions concentrate on the factorization and derivation of the renormalization group equation from the effective theory point of view. The intuitive interpretation of the renormalization group method is discussed. We compared our method with other resummation approaches in the literatures.
