We study the coupling of two longitudinal Z-bosons to two gluons via technicolor interactions. Noticing a similarity of this process to $2 \gamma \rightarrow 2 \pi^{0}$, we calculate the amplitude in chiral perturbation theory in…
We consider the transverse-momentum (q_T) distribution of Standard Model Higgs bosons produced by gluon fusion in hadron collisions. At small q_T (q_T<<m_H, m_H being the mass of the Higgs boson), we resum the logarithmically-enhanced…

We update the study of the production of direct J/Psi in association with a Z boson at the Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in alpha_s by evaluating both the yield differential in P_T and the J/Psi polarisation in the QCD-based Colour-Singlet…
Triboson production processes play a crucial role in probing the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, as they involve quartic gauge-boson couplings already at the tree level. With these measurements entering the precision era at the…
