In this paper we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD $[{\cal O}(\alpha_s \alpha^3)]$ and electroweak (EW) $[{\cal O}(\alpha^4)]$ corrections to the $WWW$ production at the LHC and deal with the subsequent leptonic decays from $W$…

In nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), we study $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi(\psi(2S)) +\chi_{c0}$ at $B$ factories, where the P-wave state $\chi_{c0}$ is associated with an S-wave state $J/\psi$ or $\psi(2S)$. In contrast to the failure of factorization…

It is conventional to choose a typical momentum transfer of the process as the renormalization scale and take an arbitrary range to estimate the uncertainty in the QCD prediction. However, predictions using this procedure depend on the…
