We calculate next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections to exclusive processes in $k_T$ factorization theorem, taking $\pi\gamma^*\to\gamma$ as an example. Partons off-shell by $k_T^2$ are considered in both the quark diagrams from full QCD…

We study QCD corrections for the associated production of a single top quark and a photon ($tq\gamma$ production) at hadron colliders. We calculate the NLO cross section at LHC and future collider energies for a variety of kinematical cuts,…
We suggest improvements for double counting subtraction scheme, which is needed for the consistent treatment of real corrections in the high-energy limit, and apply it to the single photon production at the NLO${}^\star$ approximation of…
We investigate the breakdown of collinear factorization for non-inclusive observables in hadron-hadron collisions. For pure QCD processes, factorization is violated at the three-loop level and it has a structure identical to that…
We compute the imaginary part of the 2-loop vertex corrections in the QCD Factorization framework for hadronic two-body decays as B -> pi pi. This completes the NNLO calculation of the imaginary part of the topological tree amplitudes and…
We calculate the one-loop corrections to a general off-forward deeply-virtual Compton process at leading twist for both parton helicity-dependent and independent cases. We show that the infrared divergences can be factorized entirely into…

We report on a recent calculation of the two-loop virtual QCD corrections to the W boson pair production in the quark-anti-quark-annihilation channel in the limit where all kinematical invariants are large compared to the mass of the W…
We present the NNLO corrections to top pair production in the quark-antiquark channel proportional to the number of light quark flavors $N_l$. While the double real corrections were derived previously, here we compute the real-virtual and…
The perturbative instability of NLO collinear factorisation (CF) computations of $p_T$-integrated cross sections of heavy quarkonium production at high hadronic or photon-hadron collision energy is discussed. We resolve this problem via the…

The semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process requires the presence of an identified hadron H$'$ in the final state, which arises from the scattering of a lepton with an initial hadron P. By employing factorization in quantum…
Single inclusive particle production cross sections in high energy hadron collisions at forward rapidity are an important benchmark process for the CGC picture of small x QCD. Recent calculations of this process have not led to a stable…
