We claim that factorization implies that the evolution kernel, defined by the logarithmic derivative of the N-th moment of the structure function d ln F_2^N / d ln Q^2, receives logarithmically enhanced contributions (Sudakov logs) from a…
Within the framework of the Top-color-assisted Technicolor (TC2) model, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching ratios $\calb(B_{s,d} \to \gamma \gamma)$ and CP violating asymmetries $\rcpm(B_{s,d} \to \gamma \gamma)$ in…
The gluino-induced contribution to the decay $b \to s \gamma$ is investigated in supersymmetric frameworks with generic sources of flavour violation. It is emphasized that the operator basis of the standard model effective Hamiltonian is…
In this paper, we compute the first set of ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ corrections to semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering structure functions. We start by studying the impact of the contribution of the partonic subprocesses that open at…
We derive a theoretically allowed domain for the slope $\widehat\varrho^2$ and curvature $\widehat c$ of the physical form factor appearing in the decay $\bar B\to D^*\ell\bar\nu$. Using heavy-quark symmetry, we relate this function to a…
Inclusive semileptonic $B\to X_c \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays, where $\ell = \mu,e$, are by now standard candles in the determination of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$. These determinations rely on the heavy-quark expansion and use moments of…
An improved analysis of the $b\to s+\gamma$ decay in the minimal flavor violating case is given taking into account additional contributions in the supersymmetric sector which enter in the next-to-leading-order (NLO) and are enhanced by…
We study the radiative decays B -> V gamma (where V=rho, K^*) in the framework of QCD factorisation, and in particular the hard-spectator contributions to the decay amplitudes. For the phenomenologically significant chromomagnetic operator,…
In the collinear factorization of the form factor for the transition $\gamma^* \pi^0 \to \gamma$ the hard part contains double log terms as $\ln^2 x$ with $x$ as the momentum fraction of partons from 0 to 1. A simple exponentiation for…
We investigate the possibility of testing factorization hypothesis in non-leptonic exclusive decays of B-meson. In particular, we considered the non factorizable \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-} modes and \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} (\pi^-,…
We extend previous computations of the second order QCD corrections to semileptonic b \to c inclusive transitions, to the case where the charged lepton in the final state is massive. This allows accurate description of b \to c \tau \bar…
Inspired by the new measurements on $B^{-}\to \eta^{(\prime)}\ell \bar\nu_{\ell}$ from the BaBar Collaboration, we examine the constraint on the flavor-singlet mechanism, proposed to understand the large branching ratios for $B\to…
Factor analysis aims to describe high dimensional random vectors by means of a small number of unknown common factors. In mathematical terms, it is required to decompose the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of the random vector as the sum of a…
Recently, a factorization theorem was proposed for partonic flavor evolution as defined by the net flavor of the Winner-Take-All axis of a jet. We validate the factorization theorem through explicit calculation at two-loop order, and in the…
Motivated by the ${\pi}{\pi}$ puzzle in nonleptonic $B$ decays in the time of high-precision and huge-data for particle physics, we restudy the $\overline{B}$ ${\to}$ ${\pi}{\pi}$ decays with QCD factorization approach. An additional…
High order calculation at semi-hard scale is very important, but a satisfactory calculation framework is still missing. We propose a systematic method to regularize rapidity divergences in the CGC factorization, which makes higher order…
We have studied color-octet contributions for $J/\psi$ inclusive production at B factories, i.e., $e^+e^-\to J/\psi(^3P_J^{[8]},^1S_0^{[8]}) + X_{\mathrm{non}-c\bar c}$, using the soft gluon factorization (SGF) approach, in which the…
We place unprecedented constraints on recoil corrections in the $\beta$ decay of $^8$Li, by identifying a strong correlation between them and the $^8$Li ground state quadrupole moment in large-scale ab initio calculations. The results are…
We associate a complete intersection singularity to a graded matrix factorization of size two of a polynomial in three variables. We show that we get an inverse to the reduction of singularities considered by C.T.C.Wall. We study this for…
Branes and defects in topological Landau-Ginzburg models are described by matrix factorisations. We revisit the problem of deforming them and discuss various deformation methods as well as their relations. We have implemented these…
