We present a full-fledged antenna shower for hadron collisions in the Vincia framework and focus on initial state radiation. The current version of the shower is limited to massless QCD partons and colourless resonances. As a…
A tree level merging algorithm which guarantees the leading order (LO) accuracy of angular correlations between jets is proposed and studied. The algorithm is designed so that n-jet events are generated exclusively according to the LO…
We calculate one-loop (purely) Weak (W) corrections of ${\cal O}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^2\alpha_{\mathrm{W}})$ to the partonic cross section of two jets at Tevatron and prove that they can be larger than the tree-level ${\cal…
We discuss the limitations of the covariant derivative expansion prescription advocated to compute the one-loop Standard Model (SM) effective lagrangian when the heavy fields couple linearly to the SM. In particular, one-loop contributions…
The hadronic kt-spectrum inside one jet is determined including corrections of relative magnitude sqrt{alpha_s} with respect to the Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximation (MLLA), at and beyond the limiting spectrum (assuming an infrared…
Jets are an important probe to identify the hard interaction of interest at the LHC. They are routinely used in Standard Model precision measurements as well as in searches for new heavy particles, including jet substructure methods. In…
Many studies of possible new physics employ effective field theory (EFT), whereby corrections to the Standard Model take the form of higher-dimensional operators, suppressed by a large energy scale. Fits of such a theory to data typically…
Quantizing any model in which a Lagrange multiplier (LM) field is used to restrict field configurations to those that satisfy the classical equations of motion, leads to at most one-loop radiative corrections. This approach can be used with…
Recently, a violation of the CKM unitarity condition has been reported in the latest charm-meson data and the latest lattice results, once the universal electroweak correction is taken into account. In this article, we analytically derive…
In this talk we describe the order-$\as$ corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates in $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to$ hadrons for the process $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons. We use a next-to-leading order general-purpose partonic Monte…
We describe the impact of the full one-loop Electro-Weak terms of O($\alpha_s\alpha^3_{EM}$) entering the electron-positron into three-jet cross-section. We include both factorisable and non-factorisable virtual corrections, photon…
This note presents a study of matching and merging schemes and weak showering at the LHC as applied to the production of electroweak bosons in association with jets. These advanced theoretical tools are seen to provide a good description of…
Extending the Standard Model (SM) with three right-handed neutrinos, the type-I seesaw model serves as the simplest and most natural scenario to successfully explain both tiny neutrino masses and the baryon number asymmetry in the Universe.…
One of the major challenges for the LHC will be to extract precise information from hadronic final states in the presence of the large number of additional soft pp collisions, pileup, that occur simultaneously with any hard interaction in…
We present the detailed analytical and numerical investigations of the one-loop radiative corrections of all quarks and squarks in the MSSM to the lightest chargino pair production via $\gamma \gamma$ fusion at the future NLC. The numerical…
The classification of events involving jets as signal-like or background-like can depend strongly on the jet algorithm used and its parameters. This is partly due to the fact that standard jet algorithms yield a single partition of the…
In this paper, we describe the generation of the CPT-even, aether-like terms via the new CPT-even magnetic-like coupling. We carry out a study the loop corrections generated by this coupling. Previous investigations has been initiated on…
