We show that all negative powers B_{a,b}^-{s} of the Beta distribution are infinitely divisible. The case b<1 follows by complete monotonicity, the case b > 1, s > 1 by hyperbolically complete monotonicity and the case b > 1, s < 1 by a…
We resum to next-to-leading order (NLO) the distribution in the light-cone momentum p+ = EX - |pX| and the spectrum in the electron energy, in the semileptonic decays B-> Xu l nu, where EX and pX are the total energy and three-momentum of…
We calculate the set of O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the branching ratio and to the photon energy spectrum of the decay process B -> X_s gamma originating from the interference of diagrams involving the electromagnetic dipole operator O_7…
The B -> X_s gamma branching ratio is currently measured with around 5% accuracy. Further improvement is expected from Belle II. To match such a precision on the theoretical side, evaluation of O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the partonic decay…
We perform a precise calculation of the transverse momentum ($\vec{q}_T$) distribution of the boson+jet system in boson production events. The boson can be either a photon, $W$, $Z$ or Higgs boson with mass $m_V$, and $\vec{q}_T$ is the sum…
