We consider the problem of Coulomb corrections to the inclusive cross section. We show that these corrections in the limiting case of small charge number of one of the nuclei coincide with those to the exclusive cross section. Within our…
We resum threshold double logarithms in inclusive production of heavy quarkonium that arise from singularities near the boundary of phase space. This resolves the catastrophic failure in the conventional approach based on fixed-order…

Here we would like to review recent progress on the resummation on logarithms of $\alpha_s$ in heavy quarkonium. We will mainly focus on the phenomenological relevance of these achievements. Determinations of the $\eta_b(1S)$ mass,…
Recent results on the QCD analysis of bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed, paying attention to what can be derived from the theory with a reasonable degree of rigour. We report a calculation of $\bar{b}c$ bound states; a…

The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to top quark threshold pair production in gamma-gamma collisions are computed. The NNLO effects turn out to be significant. Threshold cross sections in gamma-gamma and e+e- collisions…
We consider the Coulomb correction (CC) to the $e^+e^-$ pair production related to multiphoton exchange of the produced $e^{\pm}$ with nuclei. The contribution of CC to the energy distribution of $e^+$ and $e^-$ as well as to the total pair…

The correction to the Coulomb energy due to virtual production of $e^+e^-$ pairs, which is on the order of one percent of the Coulomb energy at nuclear scales is discussed. The effects of including a pair-production term in the…
We give a general thermodynamic analyzis of the behaviour of the chemical potential of electrons in metals at a second order phase transition, including in our analysis the effect of long range Coulomb forces. It is shown, that this…
We present the third-order QCD prediction for the production of top-anti-top quark pairs in electron-positron collisions close to the threshold in the dominant S-wave state. We observe a significant reduction of the theoretical uncertainty…
Predictions for the total cross section for e+e- -> t tbar near threshold are reviewed. The renormalization group improved results at NNLL order have improved convergence and reduced scale dependence relative to fixed order results at NNLO.…
We present an evaluation of the t\bar{t} cross section near threshold at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, using a two-step matching procedure. QED corrections are taken into account as well and are shown to be numerically…

Coulomb corrections for quasi-elastic scattering of electrons by nuclei are calculated using eikonal distorted waves. Corrections to the lowest-order eikonal approximation are included in order to obtain accurate results. Spin-dependent…
We present three-loop (NNNLO) corrections to the heavy-to-heavy quark transitions in the limit of equal initial and final quark masses. In analogy with the previously found NNLO corrections, the bulk of the result is due to the beta_0^2…
