Nominator's project description

Dr. Hohn C. Collins is one of the world's leading experts on the theory of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics and its applications to high energy scattering process. His work extends from fundamental theorems on factorization to a large variety of penomenological applications. He is a member of the CTEQ Collaboration in the USA which extracts the parton densities from worldwide high energy experiments done at the TEVATRON, SLAC, HERA and CERN. His work is of particular interest and importance for theoretical and experimental research done at DESY in Hamburg.
