In this talk we describe the order-$\as$ corrections to the total cross section and to jet rates in $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to$ hadrons for the process $\epem\to\epem +$ hadrons. We use a next-to-leading order general-purpose partonic Monte…

The process $p p \to Z \gamma + X \to \ell^- \ell^+ \gamma + X$, where $\ell$ denotes a lepton, is calculated to order $\alpha_s$. Total and differential cross sections, with acceptance cuts imposed on the leptons and photon, are given for…

Jet cross sections at high-energy colliders exhibit intricate patterns of logarithmically enhanced higher-order corrections. In particular, so-called non-global logarithms emerge from soft radiation emitted off energetic partons inside…
