The highest exclusive jet multiplicity studied at LEP experiments is five. In this paper we compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to e+e- annihilation to five jets, essentially closing the (pure) perturbative QCD studies of…
Using theoretical tools developed by the JET Collaboration in which one employes 2+1D or 3+1D hydrodynamic models for the bulk medium evolution and jet quenching models, the combined data on suppression of single inclusive hadron spectra at…
Hadron production has been calculated in a pQCD improved parton model for pp, dA and heavy ion collisions. We applied KKP and AKK fragmentation functions. Our jet fragmentation study shows, that hadron ratios at high p_T depend on quark…
A fully differential calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of Z-boson pairs in association with a hard jet at the Tevatron and LHC is presented. This process is an important background for Higgs particle…

Knowing the charge of the parton initiating a light-quark jet could be extremely useful both for testing aspects of the Standard Model and for characterizing potential beyond-the-Standard-Model signals. We show that despite the…
The next-to-leading corrections to the jet vertex which is relevant for the Mueller-Navelet jets production in hadronic collisions and for the forward jet cross section in lepton-hadron collisions are presented in the context of a k_t…
Jets clustered from heavy ion collision measurements combine a dense background of particles with those actually resulting from a hard partonic scattering. The background contribution to jet transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) may be corrected by…
We calculate the one-loop QCD corrections for the decay of an off-shell vector boson with vector couplings into two pairs of quarks of equal or unequal flavours keeping all orders in the number of colours. These matrix elements are relevant…
The QCD corrections for the box diagrams are revisited for the case of a heavy top quark with $\mt = 174 \GeV$. We resolve first a longstanding discrepancy between two methods of calculation by showing that they give the same results when…
The next-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the e+e- annihilation into hadrons are considered. The stability of the predictions with respect to change of the renormalization scheme is discussed in detail for the case of five, four and…
Jet finding algorithms, as they are used in $e^+ e^-$ and hadron collisions, are reviewed and compared. It is suggested that a successive combination style algorithm, similar to that used in $e^+ e^-$ physics, might be useful also in hadron…
We describe a systematic approach [1] to the calculation of kinematic corrections ~ t/Q^2, m^2/Q^2 in hard exclusive processes which involve momentum transfer from the initial to the final hadron state. As an example, the complete…
We study the production of jets in hadronic collisions, by computing all contributions proportional to $\alpha_S^n\alpha^m$, with $n+m=2$ and $n+m=3$. These correspond to leading and next-to-leading order results, respectively, for…
We consider the longitudinal momentum distribution of hadrons inside jets in proton-proton collisions. At partonic threshold large double logarithmic corrections arise which need to be resummed to all orders. We develop a factorization…
Recent results on jet physics and tests of QCD from hadronic final states in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at PETRA and at LEP are reviewed, with special emphasis on hadronic event shapes, charged particle production rates, properties of quark and…
We compare the abilities of the cluster-type jet algorithm, KtJet, and a mid-point iterating cone algorithm to reconstruct the top mass at the LHC. We discuss the information contained in the merging scales of cluster-type algorithms, and…
In these proceedings we present the calculation of NLO QCD corrections to $pp\to t\bar{t}jj$ in the dilepton decay channel. The narrow width approximation is used to model the decays of the top quark pair preserving spin correlations. Jet…
Hadron correlations in jets, ridges and opposite dijets at all $p_T$ above 2 GeV/c are discussed. Since abundant data are available from RHIC at intermediate $p_T$, a reliable hadronization scheme at that $p_T$ range is necessary in order…
