In view of the recently observed discrepancy of theory and experiment for muonic hydrogen [R. Pohl et al., Nature vol. 466, p. 213 (2010)], we reexamine the theory on which the quantum electrodynamic (QED) predictions are based. In…

Within a class of models in which lepton flavor violation is induced dominantly by scalar particle exchanges, we estimate the $\mu \to e$ conversion rate in several nuclei. We include next-to-leading order (NLO) terms in the one- and…
In this paper we study the hard-thermal-loop effective theory at next-to-leading order. Standard power-counting predicts that a large number of diagrams, including 2-loop diagrams, may need to be calculated. In all of the calculations that…
The effective Hamiltonian of $m\alpha^6$ and $m\alpha^6(m/M)$ order corrections for hydrogen molecular ions has been derived in [ Z.-X. Zhong, \emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {\bf98}, 032502(2018).], in this work we express the energy…
We present some evidence that in Lattice Gauge Theory the condensate contains a non-perturbative contribution proportional to $\Lambda^2$, the square of the physical scale. This result is based on an analysis of the Wilson loop plaquette…
We study a one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with longer-range Coulomb interactions at quarter-filling in the strong coupling limit. We find two different charge-ordered (CO) ground states as the strength of the longer range…
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the QCD-induced $pp \rightarrow l^+l^- \gamma j j +X$ and $pp \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_l \nu_l \gamma jj+X$ processes are presented. The latter is used to find an optimal cut to reduce the contribution…
The search for the Higgs boson and for physics beyond the Standard Model are the major motivations behind the LHC experiment. In many scenarios the success of the experiment depends on the knowledge of signal and background event rates at…

The renormalization, at the next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$, of the $\Delta B=2$ operators at the lowest order in the heavy quark expansion, namely in the static theory, is computed taking into account previously missed contributions.…
This article reports an automated approach to the evaluation of higher-order terms of QED perturbation to anomalous magnetic moments of charged leptons by numerical means. We apply this approach to tenth-order correction due to a particular…

We extend the theoretical prediction for the width difference $\Delta \Gamma_q$ in the mixing of neutral $B$ mesons in the Standard Model to next-to-next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. To this aim we calculate three-loop diagrams with two…
We define a new variety of loops we call $\Gamma$-loops. After showing $\Gamma$-loops are power associative, our main goal will be showing a categorical isomorphism between Bruck loops of odd order and $\Gamma$-loops of odd order. Once this…
In muonic atoms the Uehling potential (an effect of a free electronic vacuum polarization loop) is responsible for the leading contribution to the Lamb shift causing the splitting of states with Delta n = 0 and Delta l \neq 0. Here we…
