In the virtual presence of a heavy quark t, the interactions of a CP-odd scalar boson A, with mass M_A << 2M_t, with gluons and light quarks can be described by an effective Lagrangian. We analytically derive the coefficient functions of…
We study a five-dimensional (5D) framework based on the \(U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}\) gauge symmetry, where the associated gauge field \(V\) propagates in the bulk, giving rise to an infinite tower of Kaluza--Klein (KK) excitations \(V^{(n)}\)…
Richardson-Lucy deconvolution is widely used to restore images from degradation caused by the broadening effects of a point spread function and corruption by photon shot noise, in order to recover an underlying object. In practice, this is…

We consider QCD radiative corrections to the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions. We present a fully exclusive calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. To perform this NNLO…
We present an analysis of two-loop mixed QCD and electroweak corrections to the decay of the Z boson into light quarks. We find that the naive factorization of QCD and electroweak corrections does not describe correctly the two-loop…

We calculate the one-loop supersymmetric QCD corrections to the width of the $W$-boson. We find that these are of order $\sim {{ \alpha_s} \over {\pi}} {1 \over 20} { {M^2_W} \over {M_S^2}} \Gamma_{u {\bar d}}$, where $M_S$ is the…
We examine the renormalization of Lee-Wick gauge theory to one loop order. We show that only knowledge of the wavefunction renormalization is necessary to determine the running couplings, anomalous dimensions, and vector boson masses. In…
