The momentum spectrum and the polarization of charginos and neutralinos in squark decays are affected by gluon radiation in the decay process \tilde{q} \to q \tilde{\chi} (g). We determine these corrections and study their impact on the…

We discuss the high energy behaviour of total cross-sections for protons and photons, in a QCD based framework with particular emphasis on the role played by soft gluons
We investigate soft gluon radiation off a quark-antiquark antenna in both color singlet and octet configurations traversing a dense medium. We demonstrate that, in both cases, multiple scatterings lead to a gradual decoherence of the…
We propose a formula for gluon radiation in the fragmentation region. By comparing tree-level bremsstrahlung of a spin-less quark to the known result for gluon radiation from a classical particle struck by a sheet of colored glass…
We study the implication of finite squark and gluino decay widths for threshold resummation of squark and gluino production cross sections at the LHC. We find that for a moderate decay width (Gamma/m < 5%) higher-order soft and Coulomb…
The spectrum of coherent gluon radiation from a quark-anti-quark pair experiencing multiple scatterings within a coloured medium is central for understanding in-medium parton cascades. Despite its foundational importance, current results…
We derive the first four terms of an expansion in mH^2/mtop^2 of the total Higgs cross-section through gluon fusion. At NLO we demonstrate the excellent convergence of this series to the known result keeping the exact top mass dependence.…
We calculate the 0th order in opacity number distribution of massive photons (gluons) for heavy quark production radiation including interference from the away-side jet. While consistent with the soft photon (gluon) approximation, we find…
I present approximate N$^3$LO theoretical results for top-antitop pair production, and for single-top production in association with a $W$ boson. The higher-order corrections are from soft-gluon radiation, which is dominant near partonic…
The possibility of detection of some features of high energy particle interactions with detectors placed at medium depths underground through studies on high energy muons is investigated. These muons carry information about the early…
We discuss cross sections for $tW$ production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and at higher-energy colliders with energies of up to 100 TeV. We find that, remarkably, the soft-gluon corrections are numerically dominant even at very…
We discuss the motivation for resummation of the effects of initial-state soft-gluon radiation, to all orders in the strong coupling strength, for processes in which the near-threshold region in the partonic subenergy is important. We…
An analysis of the spin correlation effects in top quark pair production at hadron colliders is presented with special emphasis for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the LHC top quark pair production is dominated by gluon-gluon fusion.…

We introduce a nonperturbative interaction for light-cone fluctuations containing quarks and gluons. The $\bar qq$ interaction squeezes the transverse size of these fluctuations in the photon and one does not need to simulate this effect…
