QED radiative corrections to polarized muon decay spectrum are considered. Leading and next--to--leading logarithmic approximations are used. Exponentiation of soft radiation is discussed. The present theoretical uncertainty of the spectrum…
We present the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering, taking into account dimension-two, twist-four power correction. We discuss in detail the…
We compute the next to leading QCD corrections to weak four fermion interactions introducing a scheme that does not require an explicit definition of $\gamma_5$ in $d$ dimensions. This scheme reduces greatly the difficulties in calculating…
Programs that calculate observables in quantum chromodynamics at next-to-leading order typically generate events that consist of partons rather than hadrons -- and just a few partons at that. These programs would be much more useful if the…
We propose a QCD-based model for calculation of the non-perturbative corrections to the factorization approximation in the decays of heavy mesons. In the framework of the model, factorization in pseudoscalar transitions holds exactly at the…
We consider the double-soft limit of QCD amplitudes with two massive quarks in a back-to-back kinematics accompanied by two soft partons. We integrate analytically the respective double-soft eikonal functions over the phase space of the two…
We describe an implementation of a subtraction scheme in the nonrelativistic-QCD treatment of heavy-quarkonium production at next-to-leading-order in the strong-coupling constant, covering $S$- and $P$-wave bound states. It is based on the…
We investigate the factorization properties of the massive fermion form factor in QED, to next-to-leading power in the fermion mass, and up to two-loop order. For this purpose we define new jet functions that have multiple connections to…
We describe the calculation of integrated subtraction terms in the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme for hadron collider processes with quarks and gluons, thereby extending the results presented in Ref.$~$[1]. Although this extension…
We study the first power correction to the heavy electron form factor in QED and show that it factorizes as a derivative operator. We discuss the result in QED with no light fermions, where the first power correction can be written…
We present a local subtraction scheme for computing next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a massive quark-antiquark pair from a colourless initial state. The subtraction terms are built following the…
This article reports an automated approach to the evaluation of higher-order terms of QED perturbation to anomalous magnetic moments of charged leptons by numerical means. We apply this approach to tenth-order correction due to a particular…
We discuss the leading-logarithmic power corrections in the $N$-jettiness subtraction scheme for higher-order perturbative QCD calculations. We compute the next-to-leading order power corrections for an arbitrary $N$-jet process, and we…
We discuss a modification of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) subtraction scheme based on the residue-improved sector decomposition that reduces the number of double-real emission sectors from five to four. In particular, a sector…
Building on earlier work, the dipole subtraction formalism for photonic corrections is extended to various photon--fermion splittings where the resulting collinear singularities lead to corrections that are enhanced by logarithms of small…
We compute corrections of order $\alpha_s^3$ to the decay $b \to c \ell \bar\nu$ taking into account massive charm quarks. In the on-shell scheme large three-loop corrections are found. However, in the kinetic scheme the three-loop…
We show that maximally twisted mass fermions can be employed to regularize on the lattice the fully unquenched QCD+QED theory with vanishing $\theta$-term. We discuss how the critical mass of the up and down quarks can be conveniently…
We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to $B$ to scalar meson form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$ meson light-cone distribution amplitudes. We demonstrate that the $B$ meson-to-vacuum correlation functions…
This talk reports on various aspects of the divergence of perturbative expansions in the context of matching QCD onto heavy quark effective theory. Implications for exclusive and inclusive decays of heavy mesons are discussed.
We introduce a hierarchy of closed equations for charge density correlation functions in the Hubbard model and $2 + 1$ dimensional QED. Each step in the hierarchy can be considered a large $N$ truncation of an exact, but infinite set of…
