This PhD thesis is concerned with one-loop virtual electroweak corrections to arbitrary processes in the high-energy limit. Complete results are presented for the leading and subleading logarithms of large ratios of energy scales to mass…

I review the treatment of high-energy QCD in Minkowski space, with an emphasis on factorization theorems as extensions of the operator product expansion. I discuss how the factorization properties of high-energy cross sections and…

Using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory we derive factorization formulae for semi-inclusive processes where a light hadron h fragments from a jet whose invariant mass is measured. Our analysis yields a novel "fragmenting jet function"…

We compute in the heavy quark effective theory the soft coefficient D_2 entering the resummation of next-to-next-to-leading threshold logarithms for jets initiated by a quark with a small mass compared to the hard scale of the process. We…

Exploiting the substructure of jets observed at the LHC to better understand and interpret the experimental data has recently been a very active area of research. In this thesis we study the substructure of high-p$_T$ QCD jets, which form a…

In this work, we introduce a new jet observable, the one-point energy correlators (EC), designed to characterize the in-jet energy flow distribution by measuring energy deposition at a specific angle relative to the jet axis. Building upon…

We develop an Effective Field Theory approach for jet observables in heavy-ion collisions, where the jet is treated as an open quantum system interacting with a hot and dense QCD medium. Within this framework, we derive a novel…

We generalise the factorization of abelian gauge theory amplitudes to next-to-leading power (NLP) in a soft scale expansion, following a recent generalisation for Yukawa theory. From an all-order power counting analysis of leading and…

In factorization formulae for cross sections of scattering processes, final-state jets are described by jet functions, which are a crucial ingredient in the resummation of large logarithms. We present an approach to calculate generic…

Effective field theories are the most general tool for the description of low energy phenomena. They are universal and systematic: they can be formulated for any low energy systems we can think of and offer a clear guide on how to calculate…

We propose and discuss a new approach to the analysis of the correlation functions which contain light-like Wilson lines or loops, the latter being cusped in addition. The objects of interest are therefore the light-like Wilson…

We propose the inclusive semi-hard production, in proton-proton collisions, of two bottom-flavored hadrons, as well as of a single bottom-flavored hadron accompanied by a light jet, as novel channels for the manifestation of stabilization…

We calculate the leading and next-to-leading logarithmic resummed distribution for the jet broadening in deep inelastic scattering, as well as the power correction for both the distribution and mean value. A truncation of the answer at NLL…

We have derived the coefficients of the highest three 1/x-enhanced small-x logarithms of all timelike splitting functions and the coefficient functions for the transverse fragmentation function in one-particle inclusive e^+e^- annihilation…

Several important processes and analyses at the LHC are sensitive to higher-order perturbative corrections beyond what can currently be calculated at fixed order. One important class of logarithmic corrections are those which appear when…

In this paper, a combined resummation of soft and Coulomb corrections is performed for the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top quark pair at the LHC. We illustrate the similarities and critical differences between this…

We extend our Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) analysis on the pionless nuclear effective theory (NEFT) in the two-nucleon sector in two ways; on the one hand, (1) we enlarge the space of operators up to including those of…

We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…

Factorization theorems underly our ability to make predictions for many processes involving the strong interaction. Although typically formulated at leading power, the study of factorization at subleading power is of interest both for…

Multijet cross sections at the LHC and Tevatron are sensitive to several distinct kinematic energy scales. When measuring the dijet invariant mass m_jj between two signal jets produced in association with other jets or weak bosons, m_jj…
