We study inclusive photoproduction of hadrons at HERA via both direct and resolved photons to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD-improved parton model. We predict transverse-momentum ($\pt$) and rapidity ($\ylab$) distributions and…
In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with T parity, we study the $W_H/Z_H$ production in association with a T-odd (anti)quark of the first two generations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD next-to-leading order. The…
The shape function of $B$-meson defined in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) plays a crucial role in the analysis of inclusive $B$ decays, and constitutes one of the dominant uncertainties in the determination of CKM matrix element…
We study single-particle inclusive (1PI) distributions in top-quark pair production at hadron colliders, working in the highly boosted regime where the top-quark p_T is much larger than its mass. In particular, we derive a novel…
At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, the loop-induced process $gg\to \gamma \gamma$ provides a…
We calculate the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2595) l \nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2625) l \nu$ form factors and decay rates for all possible $b \to c l \bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions in and beyond the Standard Model (SM), including…

For high-pT forward processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), QCD logarithmic corrections in the hard transverse momentum and in the large rapidity interval may both be quantitatively significant. The theoretical framework to resum…
We analyze the properties of the ACOT scheme for heavy quark production and make use of the MS-Bar massless results at NNLO and N3LO for the structure functions F2 and FL in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering to estimate the higher…
We present our predictions for the inclusive production of two heavy quark-antiquark pairs, separated by a large rapidity interval, in the collision of (quasi-)real photons at the energies of LEP2 and of some future electron-positron…
We review some techniques of resummation applied to heavy quark production in hadronic scattering and electroproduction near partonic threshold, and discuss the reduction of factorization scale dependence in resummed cross sections.
In this work we calculate for the first time the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to identified hadron production at hadron colliders. The inclusion of the NNLO correction has an important impact on all observables…
We propose the inclusive hadroproduction of a heavy-light dijet system, as a new channel for the investigation of high energy QCD. We build up a hybrid factorization that incorporates a partial next-to-leading BFKL resummation inside the…
We describe predictions for top-quark pair differential distributions at hadron colliders, which combine state-of-the-art NNLO QCD calculations and NLO electroweak corrections together with double resummation at NNLL$'$ accuracy of…
Direct photon production is an important process at hadron colliders, being relevant both for precision measurement of the gluon density, and as background to Higgs and other new physics searches. Here we explore the implications of…
The application of k_t - factorization, supplemented with the CCFM small-x evolution equation, to heavy quark production is discussed. Differential cross sections of b-b_bar production and also inelastic J/psi production as measured at HERA…
A number of phenomenologically relevant processes at hadron colliders, such as Higgs and Z boson production in association with b quarks, can be conveniently described as scattering of heavy quarks in the initial state. We present a…
