Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV were used to study moments of event shape distributions. The data were compared with Monte Carlo models and with…
Demanding the analyticity of hadronic observables (calculated in terms of power series of the running coupling) as a {\it whole}, we show that they are free of the Landau singularity. Employing resummation and dispersion-relation…
We have calculated the perturbative corrections to all the structure functions in the semileptonic decays of a heavy quark. Assuming an arbitrary gluon mass as a technical tool allowed to obtain in parallel all the BLM corrections. We…

We have investigated several models of Pomeron and Odderon contributions to high energy elastic $pp$ and $\bar p p$ scattering. The questions we address concern their role in this field, the behavior of the scattering amplitude (or of the…
We present compact expressions for the power corrections to the hard thermal loop (HTL) Lagrangian of QED in $d$ space dimensions. These are corrections of order $(L/T)^2$, valid for momenta $L \ll T$, where $T$ is the temperature. In the…
At leading power accuracy the QCD light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) for a heavy meson can be matched onto the LCDAs in the framework of heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) through a factorization formula. We examine the power…
We show that high energy measurements of Drell-Yan at the LHC can serve as electroweak precision tests. Dimension-6 operators, from the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, modify the high energy behavior of electroweak gauge boson…
We estimate the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for the differential Drell-Yan cross-section $d^2\sigma/dQ^2dy$, where $Q^2$ is the mass squared and $y$ the rapidity of the produced lepton…
This talk summarizes the first calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W-boson + jet hadroproduction including leptonic W-boson decays [1]. The W-boson resonance is treated consistently using the complex-mass…
We present a major update of the publicly available EERAD3 package to calculate perturbative corrections in the strong coupling in hadronic Higgs and $Z$-boson decays. We describe the theoretical framework underlying the numerical…
Reaching the desired precision level for W and Z processes at the LHC will require a mixture of higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections. HERWIRI2 is a step in implementing QED x QCD exponentiation in a hadronic event generator. This…
Data recorded by the JADE experiment at the PETRA e^+e^- collider were used to measure the event shape observables thrust, heavy jet mass, wide and total jet broadening and the differential 2-jet rate in the Durham scheme. For the latter…
