We study the impact of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections on partial decay rates in B --> X_u l nu decays, at leading-order in the 1/m_b expansion for shape-function kinematics. These corrections are implemented within a…
The next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to $pp\to l^+l^-/\bar\nu\nu+\gamma+X$ production, including all off-shell effects of intermediate Z bosons in the complex-mass scheme, are calculated for LHC energies, revealing the…
Based on the framework of nonrelativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD), we carry out next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the decay of $Z$ boson into $\chi_c$ and $\chi_b$, respectively. The branching ratio of $Z \to…
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 compute theoretical predictions for the production of a W-boson in association with a bottom-quark pair at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD, including the leptonic decay of the W-boson, while treating the…
We develop a subtractive renormalization scheme to evaluate the P-wave NN scattering phase shifts using chiral effective theory potentials. This allows us to consider arbitrarily high cutoffs in the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (LSE). We…

The $q_T$ subtraction formalism represents a well established and successful technique to deal with the computation of QCD radiative corrections up to NNLO (and beyond) for a large class of processes relevant at the LHC. We have explored…
For precision studies with QCD observables at colliders, higher order perturbative corrections are often mandatory. For exclusive observables, like jet cross sections or differential distributions, these corrections were until recently only…
We show that standard next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD analyses used to extract $\alpha_{s}$ from LEP data do not serve to disentangle the completely unknown renormalization scheme (RS) invariant next-NLO (NNLO) and higher-order…
We derive the hard functions for all 2->2 processes in massless QCD up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong coupling constant. By employing the known one- and two-loop helicity amplitudes for these processes, we obtain…
