We present exact results, at next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory, for the Wilson coefficients appearing at order 1/m_Q in the heavy-quark expansion of heavy-light current operators. To this end, we…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of two-loop electroweak corrections at energies Q >> M_W, where logarithms of the type ln(Q/M_W) become dominant. The calculation of the leading and next-to-leading logarithmic terms for massless and…
Recently it has been shown that in the large-recoil limit new symmetries emerge which impose various relations on form factors that parametrise the decay of heavy B mesons into light mesons. These symmetry relations are broken by radiative…

We derive the QCD$\times$QED factorization theorem governing the leptonic decay $B^-\to\mu^-\bar\nu_\mu(\gamma)$ at all orders in $\alpha_s$ and $\alpha$. Electromagnetic corrections to this decay probe multiple scales, which we disentangle…
The perturbation series for electroweak vector boson production at small transverse momentum is dominated by large double logarithms at each order in perturbation theory. An accurate theoretical prediction therefore requires a resummation…

We have studied color-octet contributions for $J/\psi$ inclusive production at B factories, i.e., $e^+e^-\to J/\psi(^3P_J^{[8]},^1S_0^{[8]}) + X_{\mathrm{non}-c\bar c}$, using the soft gluon factorization (SGF) approach, in which the…
We address the problem of extrapolating the vector form factor $f_{B\pi}^+$, which is relevant to $B\to \pi\ell \nu_\ell$ decays, from the region of small to the region of large momentum transfer. As input, we use the QCD light-cone sum…
We investigate the evolution of parton densities at small values of the momentum fraction, x, by including resummed anomalous dimensions in the renormalization group equations. The resummation takes into account the leading-logarithmic…
We present an improved QCD light-cone sum rule (LCSR) calculation of the B -> K and Bs -> K form factors, by including SU(3)-symmetry breaking corrections. We use recently updated K-meson distribution amplitudes which incorporate the…

In this paper we study the factorization and resummation of s-channel single top quark production in the Standard Model at both the Tevatron and the LHC. We show that the production cross section in the threshold limit can be factorized…
We present a simple proof of the all-order exponentiation of soft logarithmic corrections to hard processes in perturbative QCD. Our argument is based on proving that all large logs in the soft limit can be expressed in terms of a single…
