The tunneling decay rate per unit volume in Quantum Field Theory (QFT), at order $\hbar$, is given by $\Gamma/V = Ae^{-B}$, where $B$ is the Euclidean action evaluated at the so-called bounce, and $A$ is proportional to the determinant of a…

I present the leading 3-loop contributions to the Fermi decay constant in the Standard Model, using the tadpole-free pure $\overline{\rm{MS}}$ scheme. The calculation is exact in the limit in which the QCD coupling, the top-quark Yukawa…

Low- and intermediate mass Higgs bosons decay preferably into fermion pairs. The one-loop electroweak corrections to the respective decay rates are dominated by a flavour-independent term of ${\cal O}(G_Fm_t^2)$. We calculate the two-loop…
