We present a next-to-leading order calculation of jet production in gamma^*gamma collisions from e+e- scattering in a region where the virtuality Q^2 of the probing virtual photon is small compared to the transverse jet energy. The…
We discuss the implications of charged lepton energy cut to the hadronic invariant mass spectrum in charmless semileptonic B decays. Charged-lepton energy cut is inevitable in order to remove secondary leptonic events such as b -> c, tau ->…
We present a non-perturbative lattice calculation of the form factors which contribute to the amplitudes for the radiative decays $P\to \ell \bar \nu_\ell \gamma$, where $P$ is a pseudoscalar meson and $\ell$ is a charged lepton. Together…
We report calculations of QED corrections to the $g$ factor of Li-like ions induced by the exchange of two virtual photons between the electrons. The calculations are performed within QED theory to all orders in the nuclear binding strength…
In a previous paper we have calculated the decay $\tau\to\pi\nu_\tau\gamma$. We used a given relative sign between the internal bremsstrahlung and the structure dependent radiation, which has been used by several other authors before.…
We study the impact of third-order QCD corrections for several kinematic moments of the inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays, to first order in the $1/m_b$ expansion. We consider the first four moments of the charged-lepton energy $E_\ell$…
As a consequence of the Ward identity for hadronic matrix elements, we find relations between the differential decay rates of semileptonic decay modes with the underlying quark-level transition $b\rightarrow c\tau \nu$, which are valid in…
We calculate the QED corrections to deep inelastic scattering with tagged photons at HERA in the leading logarithmic approximation. Due to the special experimental setup, two large scales appear in the calculation that lead to two large…
We investigate the derivation of reggeon transition vertices from Lipatov's gauge invariant effective action for high energy processes in QCD. In particular we address the question of longitudinal integrations in order to reduce the…

We present a state-of-the-art calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to ZZ production, including the leptonic decays of the Z bosons into $\mu^+\mu^-\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^-$ or $\mu^+\mu^-\mu^+\mu^-$ final states.…
We have calculated one loop quantum electrodynamic corrections to the process $ \gamma\gamma\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-\gamma $, where all photons are on mass shell and the muon mass is taken into account. The result is obtained in the analytical…
Current and upcoming experiments should improve the sensitivity to radiative lepton decays by an order of magnitude. This paper assumes that one of the tau --> (e, mu) gamma decays is observed, and explores the structure and consequences of…
A method to analyze optical transitions is developed by combining the Kubo-Greenwood formula with the unfolding method to construct an unfolded electronic band structure with optical transition weights, which allows us to investigate how…
I review the state of the art of the theoretical calculations for decays mediated by $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions, for $\ell=e,\mu$. I focus on the predictions of observables in $B\to K \mu^+\mu^-$, $B\to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$, and $B_s\to…
We present the first measurements of branching fractions of rare tau-lepton decays, $\tau^- \rightarrow \pi^- \nu_{\tau} \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell = e$ or $\mu$), using a data sample corresponding to 562 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass…
We investigate the radiative quantum electrodynamic (QED) corrections to the lepton ($L=e, ~\mu $ and $\tau$) anomalous magnetic moment due to the contributions of diagrams with insertions of the photon vacuum polarisation operator…
We determine the $SU(3)$-breaking effects in the $\bar{B}/D \rar Kl\bar \nu$ decays from the ratio of the $\bar{B}/D\rar Kl\bar \nu$ over the $\bar{B}/D \rar \pi l\bar \nu$ semileptonic form factors using a {\it semi-analytic} expression…
We examine the perturbative calculation of the inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate $\Gamma$ for the $b$-quark, using mass-independent renormalization. To finite order of perturbation theory the series for $\Gamma$ will depend on the…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
