We present a new approach to determining the strong coupling $\alpha_s(Q)$, over the entire range of validity of perturbative QCD, for scales above $\Lambda_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ and up to the Planck scale $\sim1.22\cdot10^{19}$\,GeV, with the…

We present the perturbative (PT) and non-perturbative (NP) analysis of the cumulative out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in e+e- annihilation in the near-to-planar three-jet region. A physical interpretation based on simple QCD…
We have measured the distributions of the jet energies in e+e- --> qq^bar g events, and of the three orientation angles of the event plane, using hadronic $Z^0$ decays collected in the SLD experiment at SLAC. We find that the data are well…
We identify a property of renormalizable SU(N)/U(1) gauge theories, the intrinsic Conformality ($iCF$), which underlies the scale invariance of physical observables and leads to a remarkably efficient method to solve the conventional…
We study electron-positron annihilations into six jets at the parton level in perturbative Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD), via the elementary processes $e^+e^-\ar q\bar q gggg$, $e^+e^-\ar q\bar q q'\bar q' gg$ and $e^+e^-\ar q\bar q q'\bar…
In this proceedings we compare phenomenological predictions for differential distributions in top-quark pair production at the LHC. In particular we consider NNLO QCD fixed-order predictions and parton-level predictions based on NLO QCD…
Fitting $Z^0$-pole data from ALEPH and SLD, and TPC data at a lower c.m.s.\ energy, we fix the boundary condition for NLO parton$\to$hadron (hadron$=\pi^\pm, K^\pm, \sum_h h^\pm$) fragmentation functions (FFs) at the low resolution scale of…
The production of identified hadrons inside jets in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation allows for detailed studies of parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions in a clean environment. We compute hadron-in-jets production cross sections for $e^+e^- \to…

We present the first determination of the strong coupling constant from the three-jet rate in e+e- annihilation at LEP, based on a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD prediction. More precisely, we extract alpha_s by…

We consider dijet production in $e^+e^-$ collisions and in $H\to b{\bar b}$ decays at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. A new non-local subtraction scheme is applied, for the first time, to obtain the fully…
