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…
We consider W-boson scattering at high-energy e+ e- colliders and study one-loop logarithmic electroweak corrections within the Standard Model assuming a light Higgs boson. We present explicit analytical results for W+ W- -> W+ W-. Using…
We calculate the two loop long range effect on the proton decay effective Lagrangian. Numerical calculation for suppression factor gives $ A_L($2-loop$) = 0.321$ for the value of the strong coupling constant $ \alpha_s(m_Z) = 0.116 $. Two…
In these proceedings we discuss our recent work on $\gamma\gamma\to W^+_L W^-_L$ and $\gamma\gamma\to Z_L Z_L$ within the framework of Electroweak Chiral Lagrangians with a light Higgs. These observables are good candidates to provide…
We compute the two-loop electroweak corrections due to the top quark to the gluon fusion production cross section of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson. This result, together with the previously known contribution due to the light fermions,…
The influence of nuclear polarization on the bound-electron $g$ factor in heavy hydrogenlike ions is investigated. Numerical calculations are performed for the K- and L-shell electrons taking into account the dominant virtual nuclear…
Effective Lagrangians were originally used only at the tree level as so-called phenomenological Lagrangians since they were in general non-renormalizable. Today they are treated as effective field theories valid below a characteristic…
We look at an electron in the field of an arbitrary external potential $V$, such that the Schr\"odinger operator $p^2 + V$ has at least one eigenvalue, and show that by coupling to a quantized radiation field the binding energy increases,…
We study the energy spectrum of a two-dimensional electron in the presence of both a perpendicular magnetic field and a potential. In the limit where the potential is small compared to the Landau level spacing, we show that the broadening…
We analyze the low-energy dynamics of gap-between-jets cross sections at hadron colliders, for which phase factors in the hard amplitudes spoil collinear cancellations and lead to double (``super-leading'') logarithmic behavior. Based on a…
Recent values of the proton charge radius derived from the Lamb shift in electronic hydrogen tend to be larger than those from electron scattering. Therefore low-momentum-transfer scattering data from different groups and laboratories have…
We consider three-loop radiative corrections to the Lamb shift and hyperfine splitting. Corrections of order $\alpha^3(Z\alpha)^5m$ are the largest still unknown contributions to the Lamb shift in hydrogen. We calculated radiative…
Recently it has been demonstrated that a careful treatment of both longitudinal and transverse matrix elements in electron energy loss spectra can explain the mystery of relativistic effects on the {\it magic angle}. Here we show that there…
We have developed a theory of the longitudinal $g$ factor of light holes in semiconductor quantum wells. It is shown that the absolute value of the light-hole $g$-factor can strongly exceed its value in the bulk and, moreover, the…
The electric dipole moment (EDM) enhancement factor of atomic Tl is of considerable interest as it has been used in determining the most accurate intrinsic electron EDM limit to date. However, the value of this quantity varies from $-179$…
We study the high-energy behavior of the scattering amplitudes in quantum electrodynamics beyond the leading order of the small electron mass expansion in the leading logarithmic approximation. In contrast to the Sudakov logarithms, the…
We calculate the contributions to the two-loop scattering amplitudes $h \to gg$, $h \to ggg$ and $h \to q \bar q g$ that arise from a modified trilinear Higgs coupling $\lambda$. Analytic expressions are obtained by performing an asymptotic…
I corrected 3 mistakes from the first version: that were an omitted Feynman integration in the function f^3_{ij}, a factor of 2 in front of log f^3_{ij} in eq.2 and an overall factor of 2 in Fig.1 c). The final result is changed…
The selfcoupling of the Higgs field grows with the mass of the Higgs particle and induces potentially large radiative corrections in the electroweak model. The technical aspects of performing multiloop calculations in the massive case are…
We consider two-loop renormalization of high-dimensional Lorentz scalar operators in the gluonic sector of QCD. These operators appear also in the Higgs effective theory obtained by integrating out the top quark loop in the gluon fusion…
