We derive a factorization formula for boosted double resonant top-antitop pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation with a semileptonic top quark decay in the phase space region where the $b$-jet invariant mass is small. The decaying top…
We propose a new framework, merging High Energy Factorization with final-state jet quenching effects due to interactions in a quark-gluon plasma, to compute di-jet rates at mid- and forward rapidity. It allows to consistently study the…
Within the colour dipole picture for deep inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x$, we study the production of a pair of relatively hard jets via coherent diffraction. By "relatively hard" we mean that the transverse momenta of the two…
