The decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons B and B_s are evaluated from QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar two-point function. Recently calculated perturbative three-loop QCD corrections are incorporated into the sum rule. An analysis…

Decoding and repair schemes are proposed for shift-exclusive-or (shift-XOR) product-matrix (PM) regenerating codes, which outperform the existing schemes in terms of both communication and computation costs. In particular, for the shift-XOR…

A key issue in making precise predictions in perturbative QCD is the uncertainty in setting the renormalization scale. If in principle, the entire perturbative series is void of this issue, in practice the perturbative corrections are known…

We discuss the supersymmetric O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to e+ e- -> squark_i + antisquark_j (i,j = 1,2) and to squark_i -> q' + chargino_j, q + neutralino_k (i,j = 1,2; k = 1...4) within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In…
We extend the Rome-Southampton regularization independent momentum-subtraction renormalization scheme(RI/MOM) for bilinear operators to one with a nonexceptional, symmetric subtraction point. Two-point Green's functions with the insertion…
Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at $B$ factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done…
Dimensional Reduction is applied to \qcd{} in order to compute various renormalization constants in the \drbar{} scheme at higher orders in perturbation theory. In particular, the $\beta$ function and the anomalous dimension of the quark…
For a reliable prediction of the NMSSM Higgs boson signatures at present and future high-energy colliders and a proper distinction of the NMSSM and MSSM Higgs sector the precise knowledge of the Higgs boson masses including higher-order…
We extend the formalism developed in Ref. [20] for the renormalisation of the chargino-neutralino sector to the most general case of the MSSM with complex parameters. We show that products of imaginary parts arising from MSSM parameters and…
Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for the dominant ($t\to b+W$) and rare decays ($t\to q+W, cV, cVV,c\phi^0,bWZ$). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
The present status of the calculation of radiative corrections to chargino and neutralino pair production processes in the MSSM is summarized. The main focus will be on the use of the on-shell renormalization scheme for charginos and…

Renormalization factors for three- and four-quark operators, which appear in the low energy effective Lagrangian of the proton decay and the weak interactions, are perturbatively calculated in domain-wall QCD. We find that the operators are…
