Strong coupling constant at NNLO from DIS data

We discuss the results of our recent analysis [1] of deep inelastic scattering data on F2 structure function in the non-singlet approximation with next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy. The study of high statistics deep inelastic scattering data provided by BCDMS, SLAC, NMC and BFP collaborations was performed with a special emphasis placed on the higher twist contributions. For the coupling constant the following value alfa_s(MZ2) = 0.1167 +- 0.0022 (total exp. error) was found.

Small x behavior of parton distributions. A study of higher twist effects

Higher twist corrections to the structure function F_2 at small x are studied for the case of a flat initial condition for the twist-two QCD evolution in the next-to-leading order approximation. We present an analytical parameterization of the contributions from the twist-two and higher twist operators of the Wilson operator product expansion. Higher twist terms are evaluated using two different approaches, one motivated by BFKL and the other motivated by the renormalon formalism. The results of the latter approach are in very good agreement with deep inelastic scattering data from HERA.

Neutrino Induced Events in the Pierre Auger Detector

We study the potential of the Pierre Auger detector for horizontal air showers initiated by ultra high energy neutrino. Assuming some simple trigger requirements we obtain measurable event rates for neutrino fluxes from AGN, from topological defects and from the interactions of cosmic rays with the microwave background.
