We present two things in this discussion. First, we develop and prove the theory of the extension of the YFS Monte Carlo approach to higher order SU_{2L} x U_1 radiative corrections to the analogous higher order QCD radiative corrections.…

We study applications of QCD soft-gluon resummations to electroweak annihilation cross sections. We focus on a formalism that allows to resum logarithmic corrections arising near partonic threshold and at small transverse momentum…

We improve the YFS IR resummation theory so that it includes all of the attendant collinear contributions which exponentiate. The attendant new resummed contributions are shown to agree with known results from the collinear factorization…

We extend the YFS IR resummation theory to include all of the attendant collinear contributions which exponentiate. This improves the original YFS formulation in which only a part of these contributions was exponentiated. We show that the…

We extend the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to QCD for the summation of soft gluon effects in which infrared singularities are cancelled to all orders in $\alpha_s$. An explicit formula for the respective \rngp improved…

We present the upgrade of the coherent exclusive (CEEX) exponentiation realization of the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura (YFS) theory used in our Monte Carlo ({\cal KK} MC) to the processes f\bar{f}\rightarrow f'\bar{f'}, f=\mu,\tau,q,\nu_\ell,…

We present a simple approach to the fixed phase method in Quantum Monte Carlo. This applies to electrons in molecules and electron gas and is straightforwardly extended to the Schr\"odinger equation with magnetic field.

With an eye toward LHC processes in which theoretical precisions of 1 percent are desired, we introduce the theory of the simultaneous YFS resummation of QED and QCD to compute the size of the expected resummed soft radiative threshold…

We extend the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura (YFS) to compute, via Monte Carlo methods, the effects of multiple gluon emission in the processes $q+q'\to q''+q'''+n(G)$, where $G$ is a soft gluon. We show explicitly that the infrared…

We discuss a simple method to evaluate the QCD corrections to $\Delta\rho$. It assumes that the perturbative expansion in terms of $\ms$ parameters is meaningful and, unlike other studies, exploits significant available information…

Soft quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements play an important role in fundamental QCD studies as well as in tuning of corresponding Monte Carlo generator models for a good description of experimental data. Recent results of soft QCD…

We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…

We study higher-order QCD corrections for the associated production of a top-antitop quark pair and a photon ($t{\bar t}\gamma$ production) in proton-proton collisions. We calculate the approximate NNLO cross section, with second-order…

We present a method which, starting directly from QCD, permits a systematic gauge-invariant expansion to be made for all hard processes involving quarkonia in powers of the quark relative velocity, a small natural parameter for heavy quark…

I present results for the resummation of soft-gluon contributions to QCD hard-scattering cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading logarithm accuracy. A key ingredient is the calculation of two-loop soft anomalous dimensions for the…
