We calculate the leading O(alpha_s^4) contributions to the invariant mass distribution of top-quark pairs produced at the Tevatron and LHC, in the limit where the invariant mass of the t-tbar pair approaches the partonic center-of-mass…
The presence of extra dimensions can be probed in high energy collisions via the production or exchange of gravitons. The former corresponds to signatures with missing energy while the latter corresponds to modifications of the final state…

We present the full next-to-leading order corrected differential distributions $d^2\sigma/dp_T/dy$, $d\sigma/dp_T$ and $d\sigma/dy$ for the semi-inclusive process $p + p\to H + 'X'$. Here $X$ denotes the inclusive hadronic state and $p_T$…

We explore the production of vector leptoquarks ($V$) at the Tevatron, LHC, and SSC through both quark-antiquark and gluon fusion: $q \bar q, gg \to VV$. The cross sections are found to be somewhat larger than for scalar leptoquarks of the…
If the lighter top squark has no kinematically allowed two-body decays that conserve flavor, then it will live long enough to form hadronic bound states. The observation of the diphoton decays of stoponium could then provide a uniquely…
An up-to-date global QCD analysis of high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron interactions is performed to better determine the gluon and quark parton distributions in the nucleon. Improved experimental data on inclusive jet production,…
