We present a summary of the latest measurements of the VV crosssections, where V=W or Z and one of the bosons decays into a pair of jets while the other decays leptonically. The data sample(s) correspond to proton-proton collision events…
We derive the momentum distribution for two soft and collinear gluons emitted from an off-shell quark, modeled by a $q\gamma\rightarrow qgg$ scattering process and computed using the maximal helicity violating (MHV) technique. We find the…
We give a construction of off-shell tree bosonic string amplitudes, based on the operatorial formalism of the $N$-string Vertex, with three external massless states both for open and closed strings by requiring their being projective…
We construct two and three-line shifts for tree-level amplitude with massless and/or massive particles, and provide a method to construct general multi-line shifts for all masses. We choose the massless-massive BCFW shift from these shifts…
MHV diagrams give an efficient Feynman diagram-like formalism for calculating gauge theory scattering amplitudes on momentum space. Although they arise as the Feynman diagrams from an action on twistor space in an axial gauge, the main…
Recently it has been shown that in gauge theories amplitudes to any perturbation order can be obtained by glueing together simple three-point on-shell amplitudes. These three-point amplitudes in turn are fixed by locality and Lorentz…
A measurement is presented of the electroweak vector boson scattering production of ZV (V = W, Z) boson pairs associated with two jets in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data, corresponding to an…
We relate all $C$-- and $P$--invariant anomalous triple vector--boson couplings to the oblique electroweak parameters. LEP constraints on the latter then yield the strongest and most general simultaneous bounds to date on the former. Even…
One of the methods to calculate tree-level multi-gluon scattering amplitudes is to use the Berends-Giele recursion relation involving off-shell currents or off-shell amplitudes, if working in the light cone gauge. As shown in recent works…
The bosonization of a massless fermionic field coupled to both vector and axial-vector external sources is developed, following a path-integral approach. The resulting bosonized theory contains two antisymmetric tensor fields whose actions…
We present next-to-leading order (NLO) predictions including QCD and electroweak (EW) corrections for the production and decay of off-shell electroweak vector bosons in association with up to two jets at the 13 TeV LHC. All possible…
We review the salient features of next-to-leading-order QCD and electroweak corrections to the scattering of two and the production of three weak gauge bosons at the Large Hadron Collider. Results for the tower of $O(\alpha_s^m\alpha^n)$…
Higgs boson production via weak boson fusion is sensitive to the tensor structure of the HVV (V=W,Z) couplings, which distinguishes loop induced vertices from SM expectations. At the CERN Large Hadron Collider this information shows up most…
In this paper, we determine a basis for the on-shell 4-point amplitudes $VVVV$ for Standard Model gauge bosons $V=W^\pm, Z, \gamma, g$. Following previous work, this completes the analysis of 3- and 4-point amplitudes for the Standard Model…
We review the recent progress in studying the anomalous electroweak quartic gauge boson couplings (QGBCs) at the LHC and the next generation high energy e+-e- linear colliders (LCs). The main focus is put onto the strong electroweak…
The absence of a light Higgs boson causes vector boson couplings to become strong at 1 TeV. A general framework for a systematic and consistent treatment is provided by effective theories of electroweak symmetry breaking. Already in…
We extend and improve upon our previous calculation of electroweak top-quark pair hadroproduction in extensions of the Standard Model with extra heavy neutral and charged spin-1 resonances. In particular, we allow for flavour-non-diagonal…
We review the empirical evidence for the validity of the Standard Electroweak Theory in nature. The experimental data are interpreted in terms of an effective Lagrangian for Z physics, allowing for potential sources of SU(2) violation and…
Recently, it has been shown that on-shell scattering amplitudes can be constructed by the Feynman-tree theorem combined with the BCFW recursion relations. Since the BCFW relations are restricted to tree diagrams, the preceding application…
It is well-known that perturbative calculations in field theory can lead to far simpler answers than the Feynman diagram approach might suggest. In some cases scattering amplitudes can be constructed for processes with any desired number of…
