We calculate the electroweak corrections of the order $O({m_t^2\over v^2})$ to the QCD production of $t\bar{t}$ pairs via $q+qbar->t+tbar$ at hadron colliders and show that these corrections to the total production rate are small. This…

Leptoquarks (LQs) provide very promising solutions to the tensions between the experimental measurements and the SM predictions of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ and $b\to c\tau\nu$ processes. In this case the LQ masses are in general at the TeV…
Decoupling of heavy quarks at low energies can be described by means of an effective theory as shown by S. Weinberg in Ref. [1]. We study the decoupling of the charm quark by lattice simulations. We simulate a model, QCD with two degenerate…
