We study inclusive photoproduction of hadrons at HERA via both direct and resolved photons to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD-improved parton model. We predict transverse-momentum ($\pt$) and rapidity ($\ylab$) distributions and…

Precise QED radiative corrections for low- and high-energy electron-positron colliders are essential for accurate simulations of luminosity processes and precision tests of the Standard Model. We review the historical formulation and the…
Large logarithms that arise in cross sections due to the collinear and soft singularities of QCD are traditionally treated using parton showers or analytic resummation. Parton showers provide a fully-differential description of an event but…

We study in this paper the production, in hadronic collisions, of final states with W gauge bosons, heavy quark pairs and n extra jets (with n up to 4). The complete partonic tree-level QCD matrix elements are evaluated using the ALPHA…
We study higher-order QCD corrections beyond NLO for the associated production of a photon with a $W$ boson ($\gamma W^+$ and $\gamma W^-$ production) at the Large Hadron Collider. We calculate the NNLO soft-plus-virtual QCD corrections as…

Programs that calculate observables in quantum chromodynamics at next-to-leading order typically generate events that consist of partons rather than hadrons -- and just a few partons at that. These programs would be much more useful if the…
NLO QCD corrections to charged and neutral current Drell-Yan processes and their implementation in the computer system SANC are considered. On the partonic level both quark-antiquark and quark-gluon scattering channels are taken into…
