We report the calculation of the process $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi J/\psi$ up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) at a center-of-mass (CM) energy of $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. We employ an improved NRQCD factorization approach, decomposing the…

We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of two Z-bosons in the annihilation of two gluons at the LHC. Being enhanced by a large gluon flux, these corrections provide distinct and, potentially, the dominant…
We perform a detailed theoretical study of the rare radiative decay of the $W$ boson into a $B_c$ meson and an on-shell photon. The decay amplitude is described by two independent form factors, which are calculated up to the…

The exclusive production of pairs of vector mesons with J^{PC} = 1^{--} in e^+ e^- collisions can proceed through e^+ e^- annihilation into two virtual photons. At energies much greater than the meson masses, the cross section is dominated…

The $e^+e^- \to \gamma\gamma b\bar b$ is an irreducible background process in measuring the $H^0 \to \gamma\gamma$ decay width, if Higgs boson is produced in association with a $Z^0$-boson which subsequently decays via $Z^0 \to b\bar b$ at…
