We discuss the linear power corrections to the electroweak production of top quarks at the LHC using renormalon calculus. We show how such non-perturbative corrections can be obtained using the Low-Burnett-Kroll theorem, which provides the…
The Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) is a powerful framework for studying factorization of amplitudes and cross sections in QCD. While factorization at leading power has been well studied, much less is known at subleading powers in…
We give the hyperasymptotic expansion of the energy of a static quark-antiquark pair with a precision that includes the effects of the subleading renormalon. The terminants associated to the first and second renormalon are incorporated in…
In this work, we calculate the sub-leading power contributions to the radiative leptonic $D\to\gamma \,\ell \,\nu$ decay. For the first time, we provide the analytic expressions of next-to-leading power contributions and the error…
The coefficients appearing at leading and subleading order in the $1/m$ expansion of bilinear heavy quark currents are related to each other by imposing reparametrization invariance on both the effective current operators and the…
We investigate the origin of next-to-leading power corrections to the event shapes thrust and $c$-parameter, at next-to-leading order. For both event shapes we trace the origin of such terms in the exact calculation, and compare with a…

In e+e- collisions the particle spectra at low momenta reflect the properties of the underlying "soft" QCD gluon bremsstrahlung: the particle density, in the limit p\to 0, becomes independent of the incoming energy \sqrt{s} and directly…
Using the dispersive method we perform a two-loop analysis of the leading non-perturbative power correction to the change in jet transverse momentum $p_T$, in the small $R$ limit of a Cambridge-Aachen jet clustering algorithm. We frame the…
This paper considers the use of recently proposed optimal transport-based multivariate test statistics, namely rank energy and its variant the soft rank energy derived from entropically regularized optimal transport, for the unsupervised…
We provide an analytical calculation at the two loop level of the real non-abelian contribution to the leading (1/Q) correction to the mean value of the C parameter in e+e- annihilation, to complement the existing calculation of the abelian…
Previously developed Pade-related method of resummation for QCD observables, which achieves exact renormalization-scale-invariance, is extended so that the scheme-invariance is obtained as well. The dependence on the leading scheme…
We present new results for QCD corrections to the top-pair invariant mass and top-quark $p_T$ distributions in boosted top-quark pair production at hadron colliders. They are derived from a formalism which allows the joint resummation of…
A study of perturbative QCD calculations combined with power corrections to model hadronisation effects is presented. The QCD predictions are fitted to differential distributions and mean values of event shape observables measured in e+e-…
We report on recent results on the differential cross section for slepton pair-production at hadron colliders. We use an approach to threshold resummation, based on soft-collinear effective theory, to quantify the dynamical enhancement of…

We calculate QED corrections to the semileptonic decays $H_1 \to H_2\ell^+\ell^-$ where $\ell=e, \mu$ and $H_{1,2}$ are hadrons. The soft and/or collinear divergences are regulated in a gauge-invariant manner and demonstrably cancel,…
