The production of electroweak $Z$ bosons that decay to neutrinos and recoil against jets with large transverse momentum $p_\perp$ is an important background process to searches for dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To fully…

I present the QCD short distance coefficient $\eta_3$ of the $\Delta S=2$ hamiltonian in the \emph{next-to-leading order} (NLO) of renormalization group improved perturbation theory. Since now all QCD-factors $\eta_1$, $\eta_2$ and $\eta_3$…

Drell-Yan lepton pairs with finite transverse momentum are produced when the vector boson recoils against (multiple) parton emission(s), and is determined by QCD dynamics. At small transverse momentum, the fixed order predictions break down…

Scalar and pseudo-scalar resonances decaying to top quarks are common predictions in several scenarios beyond the standard model (SM) and are extensively searched for by LHC experiments. Challenges on the experimental side require…
We reconsider the calculation of a non-global QCD observable and find the possible breakdown of QCD coherence. This breakdown arises as a result of wide angle soft gluon emission developing a sensitivity to emission at small angles and it…
