This work studies the associated production of a top-quark pair with a $W$, $Z$, or Higgs boson at the LHC. Predictions for the total cross sections as well as for several differential distributions of the massive particles in the final…
Single top quark is mainly produced through the $t$-channel W boson exchange $q + b \rightarrow q' + t$ at LHC. This process probes Wtb vertex directly and can be used to measure the CKM matrix element $V_{tb}$ or to constrain the bottom…
We calculate differential cross sections for Higgs boson and/or two-photon production from intermediate (virtual) Higgs boson within the formalism of $k_t$-factorization. The off-shell $g^* g^* \to H$ matrix elements are used. We compare…
In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with $T$ parity, we study the $W_H/Z_H+q_-$ and $W_H$-pair productions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO). The kinematic distributions of final decay…
Previous form-factor-based analyses of $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$ have focused upon non-standard contributions to the $WWZ$ and $WW\gamma$ vertices. A more complete form-factor-based formalism is presented which allows for more general corrections,…

We discuss charm production at LHC. The production of single $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated in the $k_t$-factorization approach. We use several unintegrated gluon distributions from the literature. Differential distributions for several…
The increasingly high accuracy of top-quark studies at the LHC calls for a theoretical description of $t\bar t$ production and decay in terms of exact matrix elements for the full $2\to 6$ process that includes the off-shell production and…
We present a calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W+\gamma\ production, including the leptonic decay of the W boson and taking into account all off-shell effects of the W boson, where the finite width of the W…
We compare results of $2 \to 1$ $k_t$-factorization approach with Kwieci\'nski unintegrated parton distributions and the standard collinear factorization approach at RHIC and slightly smaller energies. Our approach contains only one free…
We present calculations of cross sections for single $W^-$ and $Z$ production and $W^-W^-, W^-Z, W^-\gamma, ZZ$, and $W^+W^-$ pair production within the Standard Model at $e^-e^-$ linear colliders. We evaluate Standard-Model Higgs boson…
An observation is reported of the electroweak production of a W$^+$W$^-$ pair in association with two jets, with both W bosons decaying leptonically. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton…

The production of $W^+ W^-$ pair in hadron colliders was calculated up to loop corrections by some authors in the Electroweak standard model (SM) framework. This production was also calculated, at the tree level, in some extensions of the…
