We calculate higher-order corrections to the quenching factor of heavy-quark jets due to hard, in-medium splittings in the framework of the BDMPS-Z formalism. These corrections turn out to be sensitive to a single mass-scale $m_\ast = (\hat…

We estimate the number of quark jets in QCD multi-jet final states at hadron colliders. In the estimation, we develop the calculation of jet rates into that of quark jet rates. From the calculation, we estimate the improvement on the…
Jets are extended multipartonic systems and serve as a powerful tool for investigating the dynamics of emergent phenomena driven by many body QCD interactions. In heavy ion collisions, starting from their production during the perturbative…

The perturbative QCD approach to multiparticle production predicts a characteristic suppression of particle multiplicity in a heavy quark jet as compared to a light quark jet. In the Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximation (MLLA) the…
We present a general discussion of collider processes with not-completely inclusive production of heavy flavors. We review the Perturbative Fragmentation Functions formalism as the appropriate tool for studying such processes and detail the…
To measure the characteristics of quark and gluon jets in hadron-hadron collisions, two samples of jets are used. Given the large statistics of jets at the LHC, the two-sample method requires taking into account the following corrections:…

We present an enumeration of all possible amplitudes that contribute to an n-jet process in QCD. We estimate the number of amplitudes for large number of jets and determine the actual number of amplitudes to be calculated, which is smaller…
In this paper we describe the calculation of the process e+e- -> Z/gamma -> QQbar + X, where Q is a heavy quark, at order alpha_s^2.
The process e+ e- -> 3 jets offers the opportunity to measure the strong coupling constant. For an accurate determination, precise theoretical calculations are necessary. I will give an overview on the status of the next-to-next-to-leading…
One can imagine a number of mechanisms that could be the cause of brighter/fainter segments of jets. In a sense, jets might be easier to understand if they were featureless. However we observe a wide variety of structures which we call…
Jet quenching has been one of the most important indicators that ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions produce a deconfined state of quarks and gluons, known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma. While the quenching of jets traditionally refers to…
We discuss the motivation for making predictions for jet cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order. We describe the theoretical ingredients needed for such a calculation and briefly review the progress in the field.
We extend a known method to integrate out the strange quark in three flavour chiral perturbation theory to the context of an arbitrary number of flavours. As an application, we present the explicit formulae to one--loop accuracy for the…
The dynamics of multiquark binding is revisited in the light of the recent experimental results. It is emphasized that some configurations mixing light and heavy flavours are among the most favourable for stable or metastable multiquarks.…
We present cross section predictions for squark and gluino production at the LHC, in association with up to two additional hard jets. These cross sections can be very large in comparison to the inclusive Born rates. Because hadron collider…
Discriminating between quark- and gluon-initiated jets has long been a central focus of jet substructure, leading to the introduction of numerous observables and calculations to high perturbative accuracy. At the same time, there have been…
The production of a $W$-boson with a charm quark jet provides a highly sensitive probe of the strange quark distribution in the proton. Employing a novel flavour dressing procedure to define charm quark jets, we compute $W$+charm-jet…
