The Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) provides scale-fixed perturbative QCD predictions which are independent of the choice of the renormalization scheme, as well as the choice of the initial renormalization scale. In this article, we…
This paper describes our approach to automated program repair. We combine various techniques from the literature to achieve this. Our experiments show that our approach performs better than other techniques on standard benchmarks. However,…
Short-distance expansion of the total semileptonic B widths is reviewed for the OPE-conformable scheme employing low-scale running quark masses. The third- and fourth-order BLM corrections are given and the complete resummation of the BLM…
Within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework, we set indirect constraints on top quark operators that violate baryon number by one unit above the TeV scale. We find that these constraints are typically many orders of magnitude…
We calculate the non-universal correction to the $Zb\bar{b}$ vertex in a simple extension of the Standard Model, where a charge $+2/3$ isosinglet quark is added to the standard spectrum. Comparison is made with other solutions to $R_b$ (and…
We study loop-induced parity violating asymmetries in the strong production of polarized top quark pairs at $pp$ and $p \bar p$ colliders. The electroweak ${\cal O}(\alpha)$ corrections to the helicity amplitudes of $q \bar q \to t \bar t$…
In this letter we investigate the proper normalization for the B meson eikonal valence wave function used in exclusive B decays. The normalization appropriate for a hard scattering process renormalized at the scale $\mu$ is determined by…
The exclusive processes in electron-ion ($eA$) interactions are an important tool to investigate the QCD dynamics at high energies as they are in general driven by the gluon content of the target, which is strongly subject to parton…
We have calculated the perturbative corrections to all the structure functions in the semileptonic decays of a heavy quark. Assuming an arbitrary gluon mass as a technical tool allowed to obtain in parallel all the BLM corrections. We…
We construct simple renormalizable extensions of the standard model where the leading baryon number violating processes have $\Delta B = \pm \Delta L = -2$. These models contain additional scalars. The simplest models contain a color…
Geometric medians on product manifolds are sensitive to the relative scaling of factor metrics because the median objective couples the factors rather than separating them. We study this scale-selection problem and first prove that naive…
In this paper, we study the effects of the widths of unstable particles on the one-loop electroweak corrections for the $pp \to WW$ process at the TeV scale within the framework of the complex mass scheme. We also investigate, for this same…
Motivated by the recent observation of lepton universality violation in the flavour changing charged current transitions $b \to c l \bar{\nu}_l$, we intend to scrutinize the lepton non-universality effects in rare semileptonic $B$ meson…
We will describe radiative corrections to bremsstrahlung, focusing on applications to luminosity, fermion pair production, and radiative return at high-energy e+ e- colliders. A precise calculation of the Bhabha luminosity process was…
Radiative corrections in Lorentz violating (LV) models have already received a lot of attention in the literature in recent years, with many instances where a LV operator in one sector of the Standard Model Extension (SME) generates, via…
We investigate the phenomenology of singlet scalar dark matter in a simple $B-L$ gauge extension of the Standard Model where the dark matter particle is charged under the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. The non-trivial gauge anomalies are cancelled…
The usual Bi-Maximal (BM) neutrino mixing faces an inherent problem in lowering the solar mixing angle below $\tan^{2}\theta_{12}=0.50$ when charged lepton correction is taken. This minimum $\theta_{12}$ is achievable only if CP violation…

Low energy neutrinoless lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes are studied in an extension of the Standard Model (SM) by heavy SU(2)xU(1) singlet Dirac neutrinos. An upper bound procedure is elaborated for the evaluation of amplitudes. A…
