We present a factorization theorem of the partonic Drell-Yan off-diagonal processes $g\bar{q}\,(qg) \to \gamma^* + X$ in the kinematic threshold regime $z=Q^2/\hat{s} \to 1$ at general subleading powers in the $(1-z)$ expansion. Focusing on…
We derive the electroweak (EW) collinear splitting functions for the Standard Model, including the massive fermions, gauge bosons and the Higgs boson. We first present the splitting functions in the limit of unbroken SU(2)xU(1) and discuss…

It is shown that the transition amplitudes of radiative electroweak processes like $e^-e^+ \to \nu_e \ol{\nu}_e \ga$, $\ga e^- \to \nu_e \ol{\nu}_e e^-$, and $\nu_e e^- \to \nu_e e^- \ga$ can be reduced and factorized into simpler forms in…
We consider approaches to the eikonal-like unitarization of elastic amplitude and its generalizations in theories where cross-sections grow with energy, and we discuss corresponding mechanisms of the multiple exchange standing behind it. In…
Heavy meson decays provide an important platform for studies of both QCD and electroweak dynamics, which may contain some portals to understanding of nonperturbative QCD and physics beyond the Standard Model. The factorization-assisted…
We consider the hadronic description of the $B^0_d\to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay, with the aim to investigate the strong phases generated by the final state interactions. The derivation of the dispersion relations using the…
We compute the massive gauge and scalar corrections to form factors in both the Sudakov and threshold regimes up to and including two-loop orders. The corrections are calculated for processes involving two external fermions and scalars in…
We examine extensions of the Standard Model (SM), basing our assumptions on what has already been observed; we don't consider anything fundamentally different, such as grand unification or supersymmetry, which is not directly suggested by…
We provide a precise statement of hard-soft-collinear factorization of scattering amplitudes and prove it to all orders in perturbation theory. Factorization is formulated as the equality at leading power of scattering amplitudes in QCD…
A novel approach to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in generic ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions,…
