In a large class of models for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), the WIMP mass $M$ lies far above the weak scale $m_W$. This work identifies universal Sudakov-type logarithms $\sim \alpha \log^2 (2\,M/m_W)$ that spoil the naive…

LHC measurements involve cuts on several observables, but resummed calculations are mostly restricted to single variables. We show how the resummation of a class of double-differential measurements can be achieved through an extension of…

In asymptotically free theories with collinear divergences it is sometimes claimed that these divergences cancel if one sums over initial and final state degenerate cross-sections and uses an off-shell renormalisation scheme. We show for…
The Wilson Coefficients for all 4-parton operators which arise in matching QCD to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) are computed at 1-loop. Any dijet observable calculated in SCET beyond leading order will require these results. The…
In high-energy processes which are sensitive to small transverse momenta, individual contributions from collinear and soft momentum regions are not separately well-defined in dimensional regularization. A simple possibility to solve this…
We propose a general formulation of simplicial lattice gauge theory inspired by the finite element method. Numerical tests of convergence towards continuum results are performed for several SU(2) gauge fields. Additionaly, we perform…
We consider an effective field theory for the nonleptonic decay in which a heavy quark decays into a pair of a heavy quark and antiquark having a small relative velocity and one relativistic (massless) quark. This effective theory is a…
We develop an effective field theory for the description of high energetic or hard photons, the on-shell effective theory (OSEFT). The OSEFT describes the so called eikonal or semi-classical optical limit, allowing for corrections organized…
Generalized Effective Field Theory (GEFT) is the non-renormalizable extension of an Effective Field Theory where the Wilson coefficients are endowed by their own, independent scale dependence. Such an effective theory can be constructed by…
S-matrices can be written Lorentz covariantly in terms of free field strengths for vector states, allowing arbitrary gauge choices. In string theory the vertex operators can be chosen so this gauge invariance is automatic. As examples we…
